Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Subway US Chipotle Philly Salad
Subway US Chipotle Philly Salad is built from 8 components, combined and served at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains dextrose, modified starches, flavourings, flavour enhancers, emulsifying and buffering salts, protein and dairy fractions and anti-caking agents. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Dextrose
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.
Flavourings
Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the shaved steak.
Flavour enhancers
Boost savoury taste so less of the underlying ingredient is needed. Found in the shaved steak.
Emulsifying and buffering salts
Let processed cheese melt smoothly, keep cured meats moist, or hold acidity steady. Found in the shaved steak.
Protein and dairy fractions
Isolated proteins and dairy by-products used to add bulk, structure or a creamy texture. Found in the shaved steak.
Anti-caking agents
Stop powders and shredded cheese clumping. Found in the shaved steak.
Boone classifies Subway US Chipotle Philly Salad 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 Subway’s published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in four components counts once.

Every figure here is a minimum.
