Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Burger King US Sausage Biscuit

Burger King US Sausage Biscuit 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, flavourings, colours, preservatives, phosphates and raising agents, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, anti-foaming and anti-caking agents and protein and dairy fractions. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Corn syrups and invert sugar

Sweeten and control texture more cheaply than sugar alone. Found in the sausage patty (mild).

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the sausage patty (mild).

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the biscuit, buttery spread and sausage patty (mild).

Colours

Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the buttery spread.

Preservatives

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

Phosphates and raising agents

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

Hydrogenated or interesterified oils

Industrially hardened fats used for stability and frying life. Found in the buttery spread and sausage patty (mild).

Anti-foaming and anti-caking agents

Stop frying oil foaming or powders clumping in industrial equipment. Found in the sausage patty (mild).

Protein and dairy fractions

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

Boone classifies Burger King US Sausage Biscuit 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, October 2026.

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.
