Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Burger King US Pancake Platter

Burger King US Pancake Platter is assembled from 3 separately manufactured components, combined and served at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and invert sugar, dextrose, emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, flavourings, colours, preservatives, phosphates and raising agents and protein and dairy fractions. 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 pancakes.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the pancakes.

Thickeners and gums

Thicken sauces, fillings and drinks and stop them separating. Found in the pancakes.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the pancakes, breakfast syrup and margarine.

Colours

Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the margarine.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the pancakes.

Phosphates and raising agents

Hold moisture in meat, control acidity or make batters and doughs rise. Found in the pancakes.

Protein and dairy fractions

Isolated proteins and dairy by-products used to add bulk, structure or a creamy texture. Found in the pancakes.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Burger King’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 “leavening (baking soda)” counts baking soda once. Ice and water added at the counter are not counted. 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 BBQ sauce.
