Dynasty Wasabi Mayonnaise — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Dynasty Wasabi Mayonnaise by Dynasty DUMP — score 17/90.

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 vegetable oil for body and mouthfeel.
• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• Whole Eggs (safe) — Traditional emulsifier and the reason this qualifies as 'real' mayo.
• 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) — Adds richness and emulsifying power.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• mustard flour (safe) — Spice for flavor and emulsification; benign.
• lemon juice concentrate (safe) — Concentrated lemon juice for acidity and flavor.
• Mustard Oil (moderate) — Pure cold-pressed vegetable oil, high in monounsaturated and omega-3 fats with no additives, but it is calorie-dense pure fat and naturally contains erucic acid.
• 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 (avoid) — Petroleum-derived synthetic dye used purely for color.
• Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend; minor but not fully transparent.
