Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Starbucks US Pecan Mini Pie

Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and industrial sugars, maltodextrin, thickeners and gums, modified fats, flavourings and preservatives. 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.

Maltodextrin

A processed starch that adds body and bulk without much flavour.

Thickeners and gums

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

Modified fats

Fats altered industrially to stay solid, stable or cheap in mass production. Found in the vegetable oil shortening.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing.

Preservatives

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

Boone classifies Starbucks US Pecan Mini Pie 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.
