Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Starbucks US Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, flavourings, acidity regulators and phosphates and mineral salts. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Emulsifiers

Keep fat and water mixed so doughs, fillings and sauces stay smooth and bakes stay soft for longer.

Thickeners and gums

Thicken and stabilise fillings, sauces and egg mixtures so they hold up through freezing, storage and reheating. Found in the sour cream.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the butter.

Acidity regulators

Control sourness and keep fillings, sauces and cured meats stable on the shelf. Found in the sour cream.

Phosphates and mineral salts

Raise industrial doughs, hold water in processed meat and egg, and firm textures. Found in the baking powder.

Boone classifies Starbucks US Cinnamon Coffee Cake 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.
