Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Subway US Italian Trio Protein Pocket

Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains corn syrups and invert sugar, dextrose, modified starches, emulsifiers, thickeners and gums, flavourings, colours, preservatives, emulsifying and buffering salts and firming agents. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the 9 inch wrap (pocket), Pepperoni, Genoa salami and Black Forest ham.

Modified starches

Starches altered industrially to thicken, bind or hold texture through freezing and reheating. Found in the Black Forest ham.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the 9 inch wrap (pocket) and banana peppers.

Thickeners and gums

Thicken sauces, fillings and drinks and stop them separating. Found in the 9 inch wrap (pocket) and MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the Pepperoni, Genoa salami, Black Forest ham, banana peppers and MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette.

Colours
