Aroy-D Coconut Milk — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Aroy-D Coconut Milk by Aroy-D BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sold as '100% pure coconut milk, no additives' — but the list includes synthetic emulsifier E435 (polysorbate), so the 'pure/additive-free' claim directly contradicts what's in the carton.
Why this verdict
- Marketed as '100% pure / no additives' but contains E435, a synthetic emulsifier
- Coconut extract is diluted to 70% with water, not the implied 100%
- Polysorbate (E435) is a lab-made emulsifier, not a whole-food ingredient
- Classified NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed) despite the 'clean' image
Ingredients (3)
- Coconut Extract (70%) (safe) — Pressed coconut — a real whole-food fat source, source of medium-chain fats. Fine on its own.
- Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
- Emulsifier E435 (Polysorbate 60) (moderate) — A synthetic emulsifier added to stop the fat separating. Some research links polysorbate-type emulsifiers to gut-lining and microbiome irritation, and its presence flatly contradicts the 'no additives' claim.
