Amul Chocominis — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Amul Chocominis by Amul DUMP — score 20/90.

Sugar is the number-one ingredient and the fat is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, not cocoa butter. This is a candy-grade compound chocolate: added sugar and industrial hardened fat dominate, cocoa is an afterthought.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
• Fat base is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, not cocoa butter
• ~51g added sugar and 27g saturated fat per 100g
• Stacked emulsifiers (E492, E322) plus artificial vanilla flavouring
• Compound chocolate engineered to be cheap and hyper-palatable

Ingredients (6)

• Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
• Hydrogenated edible vegetable oil (palm kernel oil) (harmful) — Industrially hardened fat used in place of cocoa butter. Hydrogenated oils are a red flag; this is very high in saturated fat and marks this as cheap compound chocolate.
• Milk Solids (safe) — Reconstituted dairy solids; adds some protein and calcium.
• Cocoa Solids (safe) — Real cocoa, but present in small amounts behind sugar and oil.
• Emulsifiers (E492 sorbitan tristearate, E322 lecithin) (moderate) — Two stacked emulsifiers that keep the cheap fat blend smooth and stable. Lecithin is benign; the pairing signals an engineered compound texture.
• Artificial flavouring substances (vanilla) (moderate) — Synthetic vanilla flavour standing in for real vanilla. Harmless in the amounts used, but it directly contradicts any 'no artificial flavours' labelling.
