Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Zizzi Pollo & Pesto

Boone counts all 10g as free sugar, or 2.5 teaspoons. Zizzi publishes total sugar only, with no split between added and naturally occurring sugar. Some of it may occur naturally in ingredients such as tomatoes, vegetables or dairy, which does not count as free sugar, so this figure may overstate free sugar.

NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: Zizzi Pollo & Pesto

Boone cannot classify this dish, because Zizzi does not publish an ingredient list for it.

NOVA classification is read from an ingredient list. Without one there is no way to count additives or say whether a dish is ultra-processed. Boone does not estimate a NOVA group, because a guess presented as a classification would be worse than saying nothing.

Ingredients

Zizzi does not publish an ingredient list for this dish

Ingredients: Zizzi Pollo & Pesto

Zizzi publishes full ingredient lists for a select number of its dishes, and Zizzi Pollo & Pesto is not one of them.

Food made to order in a restaurant counts as non-prepacked under UK food law. The legal requirement is to declare the 14 major allergens, and for large businesses in England to show calories. A full ingredient list is voluntary. Zizzi publishes one for around 30 dishes, which is more than many chains, but not for this one.

This means Boone cannot say how many ingredients are in this dish, or whether it is ultra-processed. Boone will not estimate it.

Allergen information for this dish is published by Zizzi and is shown below. Recipes change, so always check in restaurant before ordering if you have an allergy.
