Fortune Sunlite Refined Sunflower Oil — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Fortune Sunlite Refined Sunflower Oil by fortune DUMP — score 20/90.

A chemically refined seed oil loaded with omega-6 and stabilized with synthetic antioxidant TBHQ. The heart-healthy marketing is the opposite of what a bleached, deodorized, additive-preserved oil delivers.

Why this verdict

• Highly refined seed oil (bleached, deodorized) that is nearly all omega-6 fat
• Contains TBHQ (E-319), a synthetic petroleum-derived antioxidant
• Pure fat: ~900 calories per 100ml, extreme calorie density
• Omega-6-dominant oils promote inflammation when overconsumed
• Added vitamins are a fortification mandate, not a real nutritional benefit

Ingredients (4)

• Refined Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Heavily refined, high-omega-6 seed oil; stripped of natural nutrients by bleaching and deodorizing, and heavily unbalanced toward pro-inflammatory linoleic acid.
• TBHQ (E-319) (concerning) — Synthetic petroleum-derived antioxidant added to stop the oil going rancid; some studies flag immune and tumor-related concerns at high intake.
• Vitamin A (safe) — Added fat-soluble vitamin (fortification). Harmless but a marketing add-on, not a reason the oil is healthy.
• vitamin D (safe) — Added fortification; useful since most people are low in vitamin D.
