Munch or Dump rates Deko Wafer Roll, Choco Banana by Sixfifteen Imports Exports Ltd DUMP — score 17/90.
Sugar is the first ingredient, followed by palm oil and refined wheat, with maltodextrin and dextrose stacking on even more sweetness. Two emulsifiers, caramel color, and added flavor finish the lab build.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of any cocoa or banana
- Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + palm oil + refined wheat/starch
- Three sweetener sources stacked (sugar, maltodextrin, dextrose)
- Two emulsifiers plus caramel color and unnamed 'flavor' = NOVA 4
- Maltodextrin spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar
Ingredients (16)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Vegetable fat (palm oil) (concerning) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat; the #2 ingredient and the source of Nutella's spreadable texture.
- wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
- Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
- cocoa powder (safe) — Additional cocoa solids for depth.
- Whey Powder (safe) — Dairy-derived milk solid for flavor and browning.
- milk powder (moderate) — Dried milk adds creaminess and some protein and calcium, but also milk sugars.
- Banana (safe) — Whole fruit and the first ingredient — fiber and potassium.
- Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch for texture; part of the hyper-palatable structure.
- Soya lecithin (E322) (moderate) — Emulsifier binding the fat and sugar into a smooth cream — a sign of industrial formulation.
- Sorbitan tristearate (E492) (moderate) — Synthetic emulsifier stacked with lecithin to hold the fat together.
- Dextrose (caution) — Second added sweetener.
- Wheat fiber (safe) — Added isolated fiber; minor functional ingredient.
- Egg powder (safe) — Standard pancake ingredient, no concern.
- Caramel color (E150d) (concerning) — Sulphite-ammonia caramel added purely for cola-brown color; can contain 4-MEI, a compound flagged in animal studies.
- Flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed nacho flavor blend.
