Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Sticky Korean Grilled Chicken Bowl with Chips

Effectively all 42g counts as free sugar, or about 10.5 teaspoons against the daily limit. Any naturally occurring sugar is too small to change the figure.

Free (added) sugars come from

  • dextrose in the chicken breast
  • glucose, molasses, sugar, syrup in the Korean style BBQ sauce

NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6. Sources are read from the published ingredient list for each component. Whole fruit and lactose deductions are Boone estimates; Wetherspoon publishes total sugar only.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Sticky Korean Grilled Chicken Bowl with Chips

Wetherspoon Sticky Korean Grilled Chicken Bowl with Chips is assembled from 5 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains acidity regulators, colours, dextrose, modified starches, preservatives, stabilisers and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Acidity regulators

Control acidity for taste, safety and shelf life. Found in the Korean style BBQ sauce.

Colours

Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the homefries chips and Korean style BBQ sauce.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the chicken breast.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the homefries chips and Korean style BBQ sauce.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the Korean style BBQ sauce.

Stabilisers

Stop mixtures separating and hold texture during storage and transport. Found in the chicken breast.

Thickeners

Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the chicken breast.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Wetherspoon’s published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in four components counts once. Additive class names are dropped and the named substance kept, so “stabiliser (guar gum)” counts guar gum once, and the vitamins and minerals added to fortified flour are not counted separately. Raw covers whole foods and basic kitchen staples such as flour, sugar, salt and oil. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing. Where Wetherspoon lists more than one approved supplier recipe only the first is counted, so every figure here is a minimum. The build uses a garlic and herb dip and a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream.
