A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the shaved steak.

Modified starches

Starches altered industrially to thicken, bind or hold texture through freezing and reheating. Found in the shaved steak.

Emulsifiers

Thickeners and gums

Thicken sauces, fillings and drinks and stop them separating. Found in the Baja Chipotle sauce.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the Artisan Italian bread, shaved steak, Pepper Jack cheese and Baja Chipotle sauce.

Flavour enhancers

Boost savoury taste so less of the underlying ingredient is needed. Found in the shaved steak.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components, and keep cured meats pink. Found in the Pepper Jack cheese and Baja Chipotle sauce.

Emulsifying and buffering salts

Let processed cheese melt smoothly, keep cured meats moist, or hold acidity steady. Found in the shaved steak and Pepper Jack cheese.

Protein and dairy fractions

Isolated proteins and dairy by-products used to add bulk, structure or a creamy texture. Found in the Artisan Italian bread and shaved steak.
