Bakin' Miracle Seasoned Coating Mix For Chicken, Fish, And Pork — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Bakin' Miracle Seasoned Coating Mix For Chicken, Fish, And Pork by Bakin' Miracle DUMP — score 20/90.

A bleached-flour coating mix loaded with MSG, multiple processing aids, and two artificial colors (Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 lakes) to fake a golden crust. This is a NOVA 4 chemistry kit, not seasoning.

Why this verdict

• Two artificial dyes (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake) just to fake a golden-brown look
• MSG flavor enhancer doing the heavy lifting on taste
• Refined, bleached white flour as the #1 ingredient — fiber and germ stripped out
• Stacked processing aids: tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium aluminosilicate (aluminum), carrageenan
• Classic NOVA 4 ultra-processed formula

Ingredients (17)

• Enriched bleached wheat flour (moderate) — Refined and bleached; fiber and most nutrients stripped, then a few synthetic vitamins added back.
• Enriched degermed yellow corn meal (moderate) — Degermed corn has the nutrient-rich germ removed, leaving mostly refined starch.
• yellow corn flour (moderate) — Refined coating starch that adds crunch but little nutritional value.
• Enriched farina (moderate) — Refined wheat middlings, another starchy refined base.
• Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
• Relecithinated soy flour (moderate) — Defatted soy flour with lecithin added back; a processed protein/fat filler and a soy allergen.
• WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR (safe) — The one whole-grain ingredient here, but it sits far down the list behind refined flours.
• Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG) (moderate) — Flavor enhancer that, stacked with inosinate and hydrolyzed protein, manufactures craveable umami.
• Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate (moderate) — A processing additive (whipping/texture aid); fine in tiny amounts but another industrial ingredient.
• Sodium aluminosilicate (moderate) — Anti-caking agent containing aluminum compounds.
• Carrageenan (concerning) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer linked to intestinal inflammation in animal studies.
• Baking Soda (safe) — Standard leavening agent.
• YELLOW 5 LAKE (concerning) — Tartrazine; associated with hyperactivity and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
• Yellow 6 Lake (concerning) — Synthetic azo dye flagged for behavioral effects in children.
• Paprika (safe) — Real pepper, neutral-to-positive.
• Spices and dehydrated onion (safe) — Real seasoning components -- the only genuinely whole-food flavor here.
