Bingo Mad Angles Achari Masti — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Bingo Mad Angles Achari Masti by ITC DUMP — score 17/90.
Deep-fried refined-grain triangles drenched in palmolein oil with a lab-built flavour stack: hydrolyzed vegetable protein, nature-identical flavourings, sugar and salt. This is a textbook ultra-processed snack (NOVA 4), not a grain food.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in refined palmolein (listed twice) - about 30g fat per 100g
- Hydrolyzed vegetable protein = glutamate flavour enhancer engineered for craving
- Nature-identical (synthetic) flavouring substances, not real spices
- Refined grain grits plus added sugar and heavy salt - empty calories
- Ultra-processed NOVA 4 snack, ~547 kcal per 100g
Ingredients (10)
- Rice grits (moderate) — Refined milled rice, the dominant base (~37%); a stripped starch with little fiber or nutrition.
- Refined Palmolein Oil (moderate) — Refined palm-fraction frying oil, high in saturated fat. Fine in small amounts but this is a deep-fried product, so you get a lot of it.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (concerning) — Chemically broken-down protein used as a MSG-like flavour enhancer to boost craving.
- Nature Identical Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-synthesized 'mango' flavor doing the heavy lifting instead of actual fruit.
- Iodized Salt (safe) — Common salt; iodine is a plus in small amounts.
- Degermed corn grits (moderate) — Corn stripped of its germ and fibre, leaving mostly refined starch that spikes blood sugar.
- Bengal gram grits (moderate) — Chickpea grits add a little protein but are still a refined, fried component.
- Spices and Condiments (safe) — Actual spices used for masala flavour; the one genuinely wholesome part.
- Natural Flavours and Natural Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Proprietary flavour blend; 'natural' says nothing about how processed it is.
