Enjuku Miso Soup with Tofu — BULLSHIT

Name: Enjuku Miso Soup with Tofu
Brand: HIKARI MISO

Munch or Dump rates Enjuku Miso Soup with Tofu by HIKARI MISO BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold as 'All Natural, No MSG,' but it's leaning on yeast extract, a glutamate-rich flavor enhancer that's MSG by another name, plus added sugar and a brutal salt load.

Why this verdict

'No MSG' claim is gamed with yeast extract, a glutamate flavor enhancer that acts just like MSG
'All Natural' over a list with added sugar and isolated yeast extract is a stretch
Punishingly high salt (~9.7g per 100g) is the real story
Added sugar in a savory soup, sweetening for craveability

Ingredients (10)

Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
YEAST EXTRACT (moderate) — Natural-source MSG/glutamate flavour enhancer to boost savouriness.
Spring onion (safe) — Real vegetable garnish, a genuine plus.
Tofu (safe) — Real soy protein, a clean ingredient.
seaweed (safe) — Whole-food base — rich in iodine, minerals, and fiber.
alcohol (safe) — Tiny amount used as a processing aid; cooks off during baking.
Miso paste (safe) — Fermented soybean paste, the legitimate flavor core with probiotic heritage.
Bonito fish (safe) — Dried fish for dashi stock, a traditional natural umami source.
