Clark Beans with Tomato Sauce (Feves a la sauce tomate) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Clark Beans with Tomato Sauce (Feves a la sauce tomate) by clark TREAT — score 43/90.
A genuine white-bean base, but loaded with two added sweeteners and a purely cosmetic caramel colour to fake that slow-baked look.
Why this verdict
- Two separate added sugars (brown sugar + glucose-fructose syrup)
- Caramel colour is a cosmetic industrial dye, zero nutritional value
- Real white beans and tomato paste give honest fibre and protein
- Simple list overall, no emulsifiers or stabilizer stacks
Ingredients (9)
- White beans (safe) — Whole legume, real fibre, plant protein, iron and folate. The genuinely good part of this can.
- Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
- Tomato paste (safe) — Concentrated tomato — a real-food component of the sauce.
- brown sugar (caution) — Second added sugar in the flavor base.
- Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
- Glucose-fructose (moderate) — A second added sugar (corn syrup). Two distinct sweeteners means engineered sweetness, not real fruit.
- dehydrated onions (safe) — Real onion, the one whole-food flavor here
- Spices (safe) — Real seasoning — the flavor comes from spices, not additive flavor systems.
- Caramel colour (concerning) — Added colour to fake a grilled look; some forms carry contaminant concerns.
