Bingo Mad Angles Tomato Madness — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Bingo Mad Angles Tomato Madness by Bingo DUMP — score 20/90.
A fried refined-starch chip built on palm oil, sugar, maltodextrin and MSG, with barely any real tomato. This is engineered crunch, not food.
Why this verdict
- Fried in refined palmolein with ~14g saturated fat per 100g
- Maltodextrin plus MSG (INS 627) flavour-enhancer stack
- Only 0.7% tomato powder, rest is flavourings and acidity regulators
- Refined starch + refined oil + added sugar hyper-palatable triad
- High sodium ultra-processed snack with no real nutrition
Ingredients (17)
- Rice grits (moderate) — Refined rice base — fast carbs with the bran stripped, little fiber or nutrition
- Corn Grits (moderate) — Refined corn starch base, another quick-digesting carb.
- Refined palmolein (concerning) — Refined palm oil used for deep-frying; high in saturated fat, drives calorie density
- Refined sugar (concerning) — Added sugar in a savory snack to round out the craving profile
- Iodised Salt (safe) — Adds sodium and iodine; minor amount.
- Tomato powder (0.7%) (safe) — Real tomato, but a token amount that barely contributes nutrition.
- Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
- ONION POWDER (safe) — Dried aromatic seasoning.
- GARLIC POWDER (safe) — Dried aromatic; fine.
- Acidity regulators (INS 330, INS 296) (moderate) — Citric and malic acid for tang; common but add to the additive load.
- Milk Solids (moderate) — Dairy base; adds protein and fat but heavily concentrated and calorie-dense in this format.
- Anticaking Agent (INS 551) (moderate) — Silicon dioxide to keep the seasoning free-flowing; purely a processing additive.
- YEAST EXTRACT (moderate) — A second glutamate-rich flavor enhancer — stacking two of these engineers an intense umami hit.
- Flavour enhancer (INS 627, disodium guanylate) (concerning) — Nucleotide that multiplies the umami hit alongside glutamates to drive overeating
- Gram grits (safe) — Chickpea flour in the base; adds a little protein.
- Acidity regulator (INS 500(ii)) (safe) — Sodium bicarbonate, a benign processing aid.
- Added flavours (natural, nature-identical) (moderate) — Engineered flavour blend that does most of the 'tomato' work in place of real tomato.
