Aroy-D Coconut Cream — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Aroy-D Coconut Cream by Thai Agri Foods Public Company Limited BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sold as "100% Pure Coconut Cream, No Additives, No Preservatives, No Gums" and "all natural" — but the list includes emulsifier E435 (polysorbate 60), a synthetic additive. The pure/natural pitch directly contradicts what's in the carton.
Why this verdict
- Marketed "100% Pure, No Additives, No Gums" but the list contains emulsifier E435
- E435 (polysorbate 60) is a synthetic emulsifier — not natural, not an absence of additives
- "All natural" branding is undercut by a lab-made stabilizer
- It's only 85% coconut extract, not the advertised 100% pure
Ingredients (3)
- Coconut Extract (85%) (safe) — Pressed coconut meat — a real whole-food base. High in saturated fat but otherwise unprocessed.
- Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
- Emulsifier E435 (Polysorbate 60) (concerning) — A synthetic emulsifier. Emerging research links polysorbate emulsifiers to disruption of the gut mucus layer and microbiome. Purely there to stop fat separation.
