Baidyanath Amla Juice — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Baidyanath Amla Juice by Baidyanath BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sold as 'pure' with 'no preservatives', but the label lists two added preservatives (E201, E211).
Why this verdict
- Marketed 'no preservatives' but contains sodium benzoate (E211) and sodium nitrate (E201)
- Two synthetic chemical preservatives in a product sold as 'pure' and 'natural'
- Citric acid (E330) added on top, undercutting the 'just amla' positioning
- The contradiction between claim and label is the issue — not the amla itself
Ingredients (4)
- Pure Amla Juice (safe) — Indian gooseberry juice — a genuine source of vitamin C, polyphenols and antioxidants. The good part of the bottle.
- Sodium nitrate (E201) (concerning) — A synthetic preservative. Its presence flatly contradicts the 'no preservatives' label claim.
- Sodium benzoate (E211) (moderate) — Class II preservative; can form trace benzene when combined with vitamin C and is linked to hyperactivity in sensitive kids.
- Citric acid (E330) (safe) — A mild acidulant for tartness and shelf stability — harmless in these amounts.
