Processing and additives: McDonald's US Spicy Snack Wrap

McDonald's US Spicy Snack Wrap is assembled from 5 separately manufactured components, combined and served at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains modified starches, emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, processed cellulose, flavourings, flavour enhancers, colours, preservatives, phosphates and raising agents, hydrogenated or interesterified oils and protein and dairy fractions. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Boone classifies McDonald's US Spicy Snack Wrap 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.

What those ingredients are, by type

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on McDonald’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 Sweet ’n Sour sauce.
