Dynasty Wasabi Mayonnaise — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Dynasty Wasabi Mayonnaise by Dynasty DUMP — score 20/90.
A soybean-oil mayo dyed bright green with FD&C Yellow #5 and Blue #1 to fake the look of real wasabi. Artificial colors plus a refined-oil base land this in DUMP territory.
Why this verdict
- Two artificial petroleum-based dyes (FD&C Yellow #5 and Blue #1) added only for color
- Refined soybean oil is the #1 ingredient, making this almost pure fat
- No actual wasabi, the 'wasabi' kick is horseradish and mustard plus dyes
- Calorie-dense: ~100 calories of fat per tablespoon
Ingredients (13)
- Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used to fake creaminess
- Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
- Whole Eggs (safe) — Emulsifier for the creamy texture, a real food ingredient
- apple cider vinegar (safe) — Simple fermented acid for tang.
- Horseradish (safe) — Real root providing the actual pungent heat in place of true wasabi.
- Egg Yolks (safe) — Standard mayo emulsifier from real eggs.
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
- mustard flour (safe) — Adds bite and emulsifying help; a labeled allergen.
- lemon juice concentrate (safe) — Acidulant for tartness.
- Mustard Oil (safe) — Flavoring oil, minor quantity.
- FD&C Yellow #5 (concerning) — Tartrazine, a synthetic petroleum-derived dye linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children; added purely for the fake green color.
- FD&C Blue #1 (concerning) — Synthetic artificial dye used with Yellow #5 to fake a wasabi-green hue; cosmetic only, no nutritional value.
- Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed proprietary flavor blend; here to prop up flavor a tiny amount of real vanilla can't.
