Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Starbucks US Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich

Starbucks US Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich is built from 4 separately manufactured components. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and industrial sugars, maltodextrin, emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, flavourings, preservatives, acidity regulators, phosphates and mineral salts, protein isolates and dough conditioners and enzymes. 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 sausage.

Maltodextrin

A processed starch that adds body and bulk without much flavour. Found in the english muffin.

Emulsifiers

Keep fat and water mixed so doughs, fillings and sauces stay smooth and bakes stay soft for longer. Found in the english muffin and puffed scrambled egg patty.

Thickeners and gums

Thicken and stabilise fillings, sauces and egg mixtures so they hold up through freezing, storage and reheating. Found in the english muffin and puffed scrambled egg patty.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the puffed scrambled egg patty and sausage.

Preservatives

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

Acidity regulators

Control sourness and keep fillings, sauces and cured meats stable on the shelf. Found in the english muffin and puffed scrambled egg patty.

Phosphates and mineral salts

Raise industrial doughs, hold water in processed meat and egg, and firm textures. Found in the english muffin and puffed scrambled egg patty.

Protein isolates

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

Dough conditioners and enzymes

Speed up and standardise industrial dough so it behaves the same in every batch. Found in the english muffin.
