Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: Dave's Hot Chicken US Top-Loaded Fries (Regular)

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 Top-Loaded Fries (Regular)

Dave's Hot Chicken’s US nutrition and allergen charts give figures for Top-Loaded Fries (Regular) but no ingredients, and the chain is under no legal obligation to publish them.

Under the FDA menu labeling rule, US restaurant chains with 20 or more locations must post calories on menus and provide further written nutrition information on request. A full ingredient list is not required for food prepared in a restaurant. Some chains publish one anyway.

Without an ingredient list, no page on this site can tell you how many ingredients are in this item, how many of them are manufactured substances, or whether it is ultra-processed. Boone will not estimate any of it.
