Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend by Trader Joe's MUNCH — score 100/90.

This is six recognizable pantry ingredients and nothing else: two kinds of sesame, salt, dried garlic, dried onion, and poppy seeds. No anti-caking agents, no natural flavor, no fillers. The cult status is deserved on the merits, not just the hype.

Why this verdict

• Six-ingredient list, every item a whole seed or spice
• No artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or anti-caking additives
• Sea salt is the only ingredient to watch, and only if you pour it on heavily
• Genuinely minimally processed, matching its 'all natural' billing
