Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Starbucks US Cinnamon Pull-Apart

Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and industrial sugars, emulsifiers, flavourings, preservatives, protein isolates and glazing agents and humectants. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Corn syrups and industrial sugars

Sweeten, brown and keep bakes soft more cheaply than sugar alone. Found in the glaze.

Emulsifiers

Keep fat and water mixed so doughs, fillings and sauces stay smooth and bakes stay soft for longer. Found in the white chocolate chips.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the butter and white chocolate chips.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, or stop fats going stale, in centrally prepared food. Found in the enriched flour.

Protein isolates

Concentrated proteins extracted industrially to raise the protein count or build texture. Found in the glaze.

Glazing agents and humectants

Give a shine or coating and stop food drying out.
