Frooti Mango Drink — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Frooti Mango Drink by Frooti DUMP — score 20/90.

Sugar water with a splash of mango pulp, dyed orange with synthetic Sunset Yellow and propped up by added flavor. It's a soda dressed as fruit.

Why this verdict

• Synthetic food colour INS110 (Sunset Yellow), an artificial dye
• Sugar is the #2 ingredient at ~13g per 100ml — soda-level sweetness
• Only 19.5% mango pulp; the rest is water, sugar and additives
• Added 'nature-identical' flavour doing the work real fruit can't
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) fruit drink, not a juice

Ingredients (7)

• Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
• Mango pulp (19.5%) (safe) — The only genuinely good part, but at under a fifth of the drink it's a minority ingredient.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Acidity Regulator (INS330, citric acid) (moderate) — Common food acid for tartness; safe but a marker of a processed formula and tough on tooth enamel.
• Antioxidant (INS300, ascorbic acid) (safe) — Vitamin C added to protect colour and flavour; benign.
• Synthetic Food Colour (INS110, Sunset Yellow FCF) (concerning) — Artificial azo dye used purely for the orange look; linked to hyperactivity in children and carries a warning in some markets.
• Added Flavour (nature-identical mango) (moderate) — Lab-made flavouring that fakes a stronger mango taste than the small amount of real pulp provides.
