Name: Coffee Mate Avellana (Hazelnut Coffee Creamer)
Brand: Nestle

Munch or Dump rates Coffee Mate Avellana (Hazelnut Coffee Creamer) by Nestle DUMP — score 17/90.

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) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (avoid) — Partially hydrogenated fat and trans-fat source — the decisive negative.
Corn Syrup (caution) — Added sugar baked into the crust.
Sodium Caseinate (safe) — Milk-derived protein used in the topping.
Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Synthetic flavoring; the reason this counts as a flavored coffee.
Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
Dipotassium Phosphate (moderate) — Buffer and stabilizer; added phosphates are worth limiting for people managing kidney health.
DATEM (acetylated tartaric acid esters) (moderate) — An industrial emulsifier used to bind refined oil into water.
Titanium dioxide (avoid) — Whitening color agent banned as a food additive in the EU.
Microcrystalline Cellulose (moderate) — Processed plant pulp used as a bulking/flow agent
Mono- and diglycerides (moderate) — Emulsifier that keeps fat and water blended - a processed-food marker.
Carrageenan (moderate) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer; some people report digestive sensitivity.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (moderate) — A synthetic gum thickener; another emulsifier in the stack.
