Bingo Mad Angles Achari Masti — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Bingo Mad Angles Achari Masti by ITC DUMP — score 20/90.
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 (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (concerning) — A processed glutamate source used to boost savory craving; part of the flavor-enhancer stack.
- Nature Identical Flavouring Substances (concerning) — Lab-synthesized flavour chemicals standing in for real spices/pickle flavour.
- Iodized Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; iodization is a minor benefit.
- Degermed corn grits (moderate) — Corn with germ removed - refined starch, minor share of the base despite the marketing.
- Bengal gram grits (moderate) — Chickpea grits add a little protein but are still a refined, fried component.
- Spices and Condiments (safe) — Real garlic, cumin, coriander, chilli and more provide flavor with minor benefit.
- Natural Flavours and Natural Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Undefined flavour additives; better than synthetic but still opaque.
