Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: Dave's Hot Chicken US French Fries

Boone cannot classify this item, because Dave's Hot Chicken 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, separate raw ingredients from manufactured ones, or say whether an item is ultra-processed. Boone does not estimate a NOVA group, because a guess presented as a classification would be worse than saying nothing.

Classification is based on published ingredient lists only. If Dave's Hot Chicken publishes one, this section will be updated.

Ingredients: Dave's Hot Chicken US French Fries
