Club Original Crackers — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Club Original Crackers by Club ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Refined flour, refined oil, and three separate sweeteners stacked together with a synthetic preservative and emulsifier. A hyper-palatable snack built for craving, not nutrition.

Why this verdict

• Three distinct sweeteners stacked: sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and corn syrup
• Hyper-palatable triad of refined flour + refined oil + added sugar, built for craving
• Enriched flour is stripped, refined wheat with vitamins added back
• TBHQ, a synthetic preservative, plus soy lecithin emulsifier
• NOVA 4 ultra-processed with no real nutritional upside

Ingredients (8)

• Enriched flour (refined wheat) (moderate) — Refined white flour stripped of fiber and germ, with a few vitamins added back. Spikes blood sugar and offers little real nutrition.
• Soybean oil (with TBHQ) (moderate) — Refined, high-omega-6 industrial oil. TBHQ is a synthetic petroleum-derived preservative flagged for consumption limits.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
• High Fructose Corn Syrup (concerning) — Refined liquid sugar; drives a rapid blood-sugar spike and adds empty calories with no nutrition.
• Corn Syrup (concerning) — A third added sweetener on top of sugar and HFCS. Three sweetener sources is engineered sweetness.
• Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
• Leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, monocalcium phosphate) (safe) — Standard chemical leavening agents that help the cracker rise. Not a health concern in these amounts.
• Soy Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier; common and generally benign, but a soy allergen.
