Brand: Nestle

Munch or Dump rates Coffee Mate Avellana (Hazelnut Coffee Creamer) by Nestle DUMP — score 20/90.

A hydrogenated-oil-based liquid creamer with no real dairy or hazelnut. Trans fat, sugar, corn syrup, and a stack of emulsifiers and stabilizers make this a lab-built whitener, not food.

Why this verdict

Contains hydrogenated vegetable oil, a source of artery-clogging trans fat
Sugar plus corn syrup plus maltodextrin: three refined sweeteners/carbs stacked
No actual hazelnut, only artificial flavors imitating it
Emulsifier and stabilizer stack: DATEM, mono/diglycerides, carrageenan, CMC
Titanium dioxide added purely to make it look white and creamy

Ingredients (14)

Water (safe) — Added back as a filler/texture agent; harmless but dilutes.
Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (harmful) — Industrially hardened fat that forms trans fats — linked to heart disease. Appears twice. Automatic hard fail.
Corn Syrup (concerning) — A second stacked added sugar on top of HFCS, pushing total sugar to roughly a quarter of the product.
Sodium Caseinate (moderate) — Processed milk-protein additive for creamy mouthfeel.
Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Synthetic hazelnut flavoring; there is no real nut in the product.
Maltodextrin (concerning) — Highly refined carbohydrate with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; listed twice here.
Dipotassium Phosphate (moderate) — Buffering/emulsifying phosphate salt.
DATEM (acetylated tartaric acid esters) (moderate) — An industrial emulsifier used to bind refined oil into water.
Titanium dioxide (concerning) — A whitening pigment with no nutritional purpose; banned as a food additive in the EU over genotoxicity concerns.
Microcrystalline Cellulose (moderate) — A processed-fiber bulking and anti-caking agent.
Mono- and diglycerides (moderate) — Fat-derived emulsifiers layered on with DATEM to stabilize the emulsion.
Carrageenan (moderate) — Seaweed-derived thickener linked to gut inflammation in some studies; common in shelf-stable shakes.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (moderate) — A synthetic gum thickener; another emulsifier in the stack.
