Munch or Dump rates Chipmates Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies by Chipmates Candy DUMP — score 17/90.

Trans-fat cookies dressed up with candy-coated dye. Two different partially hydrogenated oils plus six artificial colors make this a textbook ultra-processed dump.

Why this verdict

Two partially hydrogenated oils — industrial trans fat that raises bad cholesterol
Six artificial dyes plus titanium dioxide just for color
Refined enriched flour and multiple sugars are the backbone
Corn syrup, dextrose and molasses pile on extra sugar with no benefit
Classic ultra-processed (NOVA 4) snack engineered for craving

Ingredients (15)

Enriched flour (wheat) (moderate) — Refined flour stripped of fiber then re-fortified with synthetic vitamins; spikes blood sugar.
Milk chocolate flavored candy pieces (harmful) — Sugar-and-trans-fat candy gems colored with a stack of artificial dyes.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils (harmful) — Industrial trans fat source — raises LDL, lowers HDL, strongly linked to heart disease
Partially hydrogenated palm kernel oils (harmful) — Second source of trans fat, hidden inside the candy pieces.
chocolate chips (moderate) — Add sugar, cocoa and milk powder; contribute to the sweetness load.
Corn Syrup (caution) — Added sugar baked into the crust.
Artificial colors (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 6 Lakes) (concerning) — Petroleum-derived dyes linked to hyperactivity in children; purely cosmetic.
Titanium dioxide (avoid) — Whitening color agent banned as a food additive in the EU.
Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
Dextrose (caution) — Second added sweetener.
molasses (moderate) — A second sweetener for color and flavor. Minor, but it stacks on top of the sugar.
Natural and Artificial Flavor (moderate) — Added flavor system, including artificial flavor.
Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch for texture; part of the hyper-palatable structure.
Ammonium bicarbonate / baking soda (safe) — Standard leavening agents.
