Berry Cashew & Cacao Smooshed Wholefood Balls — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Berry Cashew & Cacao Smooshed Wholefood Balls by Tasti TREAT — score 43/90.

Genuinely simple ingredient list, but it's nearly 50% sugar from dates and fruit concentrate. A clean indulgence, not an everyday health food.

Why this verdict

• Short, recognizable whole-food list with no artificial additives
• Nearly 50% sugar (about 49g/100g), mostly from dates
• Apple juice concentrate adds extra concentrated fruit sugar
• Cashews, coconut and cacao bring real fat, fiber and minerals
• Sweet and energy-dense, best treated as an occasional indulgence

Ingredients (8)

• Dates (safe) — Whole dried fruit — the binder and sole sugar source, bringing fiber and potassium along with the sweetness.
• Cashews (safe) — Whole nut with minerals and healthy fats.
• cacao (safe) — Minimally processed cocoa solids rich in flavanols and antioxidants.
• Cranberries (safe) — Real dried fruit; some fiber and antioxidants survive drying.
• APPLE JUICE CONCENTRATE (moderate) — 100% fruit, but a concentrated sugar source with the fiber removed.
• Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil; fine in the modest amounts used here.
• Coconut (safe) — Real coconut; the one whole-food element, but very high in saturated fat.
• Natural flavour (moderate) — Undefined flavouring - a processing marker with no nutritional value.
