Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Wingstop Cajun Fries

Wingstop Cajun Fries is assembled from 3 separately manufactured components, combined and cooked at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains dextrose, modified starches, raising agents, stabilisers and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the skin on fries.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the skin on fries.

Raising agents

Make doughs and batters rise without a long ferment. Found in the skin on fries.

Stabilisers

Stop mixtures separating and hold texture during storage and transport. Found in the skin on fries.

Thickeners

Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the skin on fries.

Boone classifies Wingstop Cajun Fries 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 Cajun Fries contains at least 26 distinct ingredients: 19 raw and 7 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.
