Adult daily reference intakes (Reference Intake, RI)

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Vegetarian Bangers and Mash

Boone counts all 5.4g as free sugar, or about 1.4 teaspoons against the daily limit. Some of it will come from the vegetables listed below, but Wetherspoon does not publish a split, so treat the free sugar figure as an upper estimate.

Free (added) sugars come from

• caramelised sugar, glucose, sugar, syrup in the vegan gravy

Naturally occurring sugars come from

• lactose in the mashed potato (puck)
• sugars naturally present in the peas

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.

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Vegetarian Bangers and Mash

Wetherspoon Vegetarian Bangers and Mash is assembled from 5 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains colours, flavour enhancers, flavourings, glucose or glucose-fructose syrup, hydrolysed or isolated proteins, maltodextrin and modified starches. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Vegetarian Bangers and Mash as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the industrial ingredients named above. NOVA groups foods by how far they are from their whole-food form, not by how nutritious they are. A group 4 food is not automatically unhealthy, and a group 1 food is not automatically healthy.

What those ingredients are, by type

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.
