Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks US Iced Double Berry Matcha (Tall)
Starbucks US Iced Double Berry Matcha (Tall) is assembled from 4 separately manufactured components, combined and served at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, flavourings, colours, preservatives and acidity regulators. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Emulsifiers
Keep fat and water mixed so sauces, creams and foams stay smooth. Found in the raspberry cold foam.
Thickeners and gums
Thicken and stabilise texture so sauces and foams hold up in storage. Found in the raspberry cold foam and strawberry puree sauce.
Flavourings
Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the raspberry cold foam, strawberry puree sauce and classic syrup.
Colours
Keep the colour bright and consistent from batch to batch. Found in the raspberry cold foam and strawberry puree sauce.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, or stop fats going stale, in centrally prepared components. Found in the raspberry cold foam and classic syrup.
Acidity regulators
Control sourness and keep syrups and bases stable on the shelf. Found in the raspberry cold foam, strawberry puree sauce and classic syrup.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Starbucks’ published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so sugar appearing in three syrups counts once. Ice and water added at the counter are not counted. Raw covers whole foods and basic kitchen staples such as milk, sugar, salt and oil. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing. Every figure here is a minimum.
