Munch or Dump rates Beyond Snack Kerala Banana Chips by Beyond snack BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold as "100% natural, no artificial flavours or colours" but the list carries TBHQ (E319), a synthetic antioxidant, plus "natural identical" (lab-made) flavours. The marketing directly contradicts the label.

Why this verdict

"No artificial flavours" but ingredients list "natural identical" flavours, which are lab-synthesized
Marketed "all natural / no preservatives" while containing TBHQ (E319), a synthetic petroleum-derived antioxidant
Deep-fried in refined palmolein, roughly 530 kcal and 31g fat per 100g
Refined-starch snack that spikes blood sugar, NOVA 4 processed

Ingredients (7)

Raw Banana (72%) (safe) — Real fruit base and the one genuine ingredient, but deep-fried it becomes a refined-starch chip that spikes blood sugar.
Refined Vegetable Oil (Palmolein) (moderate) — Refined, high-heat frying oil; heavy in saturated fat and drives the ~31g fat per 100g.
Iodised Salt (safe) — Sodium with added iodine; fine in small amounts but adds to the sodium load.
Anticaking agent (E551) (moderate) — Silicon dioxide, an industrial flow agent; inert but a marker of processed manufacturing, not a whole food.
Antioxidant (E319 / TBHQ) (concerning) — TBHQ is a synthetic petroleum-derived preservative used to stop the frying oil going rancid; it flatly contradicts the "all natural / no preservatives" claim.
Permitted natural colors (moderate) — Added colour on a chip that should just look like fried banana; cosmetic, not nutritional.
Natural and natural identical flavoring substances (concerning) — "Natural identical" means chemically synthesized in a lab to mimic natural flavour, directly undercutting the "no artificial flavours" marketing.
