An estimated 14g of the 18g counts as added sugar, or about 3.5 teaspoons. The other 4g is naturally occurring.

  • sugar in the pickle brine

Dave's Hot Chicken publishes total sugar and no ingredient list, so Boone estimates the added share from the components each item is built from: all sugar in sauces such as hot honey, BBQ and ketchup counts as added, 90% of the sugar in breaded chicken, bread and Dave's sauce, and 75% where cheese, slaw or other vegetables supply some naturally occurring sugar.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: Dave's Hot Chicken US #2 (2 Sliders & 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.
