Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks US Pecan Crunch Latte (Venti)
Starbucks US Pecan Crunch Latte (Venti) is assembled from 2 separately manufactured components, combined and served at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains preservatives, acidity regulators and protein isolates. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, or stop fats going stale, in centrally prepared components. Found in the pecan syrup.
Acidity regulators
Control sourness and keep syrups and bases stable on the shelf. Found in the pecan syrup.
Protein isolates
Concentrated proteins extracted industrially to raise the protein count or form a glaze. Found in the pecan crunch topping.
Boone classifies Starbucks US Pecan Crunch Latte (Venti) 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. Read from the published ingredient list, October 2026.

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.
