Aroy-D Coconut Milk — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Aroy-D Coconut Milk by Aroy-D BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
The carton screams "100% coconut milk," but the actual formula sneaks in polysorbate 60 (E435), an emulsifier the label doesn't disclose.
Why this verdict
- Labeled "100% coconut milk" but actually contains polysorbate 60 (E435), an undisclosed synthetic emulsifier
- The "no additives" impression is false; an emulsifier is added to prevent separation
- Otherwise a clean, minimal formula, so this is a labeling problem, not a chemistry-textbook one
- Polysorbate 60 is a lab-made emulsifier, not a whole-food ingredient
Ingredients (2)
- Coconut milk (coconut extract + water) (safe) — Pressed coconut in water. Whole-food fat source, mostly saturated but from a natural whole food, not refined oil.
- Polysorbate 60 (E435, emulsifier) (moderate) — Synthetic emulsifier added at ~0.05% to stop the coconut fat from separating. Not disclosed on the '100% coconut milk' label; some evidence emulsifiers may irritate the gut lining in large amounts, but the dose here is tiny.
