Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Wingstop Atomic Wings
Wingstop Atomic Wings is assembled from 3 separately manufactured components, combined and cooked at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains colours, preservatives and stabilisers. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Colours
Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the atomic sauce.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the atomic sauce.
Stabilisers
Stop mixtures separating and hold texture during storage and transport. Found in the atomic sauce.
Boone classifies Wingstop Atomic Wings as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the additives 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. Read from the published ingredient list, 22 September 2026.
A portion of Wingstop Atomic Wings contains at least 16 distinct ingredients: 12 raw and 4 manufactured. Ordered as a full meal with a dip and a dessert that reaches 58, of which 21 are manufactured. Raw means something you could buy and cook with at home; manufactured means a substance that only exists as an output of industrial processing.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Wingstop'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 (xanthan gum)” counts xanthan gum once. 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. Every figure here is a minimum. The build uses a Ranch dip.
