Funny Frisch Chipsfrisch Peperoni — BULLSHIT

Munch or Dump rates Funny Frisch Chipsfrisch Peperoni by Funny Frisch Snack BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold with a big 'no artificial flavor enhancers' badge, yet packed with yeast extract and hydrolyzed soy protein — both glutamate-loaded enhancers. That contradiction, on top of a NOVA-4 chemistry-textbook seasoning stack, is the headline here.

Why this verdict

• 'No artificial flavor enhancers' claim is undercut by yeast extract AND soy protein hydrolyzate — both glutamate sources
• NOVA-4 ultra-processed: a deep-fried base under a stacked seasoning blend
• Added sugar plus a flavor-enhancer stack engineered for craving
• Refined sunflower oil makes these calorie-dense and easy to over-eat
• Added colorings (beetroot/red pepper extract) dress up the appearance

Ingredients (16)

• potatoes (safe) — Whole potato base - a real food.
• Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil; fine in the modest amounts used here.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• Flavor (aroma) (moderate) — Generic added flavoring — a manufactured taste layer, not real food.
• wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
• YEAST EXTRACT (moderate) — A hidden source of free glutamate, stacked with MSG for umami.
• Paprika (safe) — Natural color and flavor from ground peppers.
• Chili Powder (safe) — Real spice providing the heat.
• ONION POWDER (safe) — Dried aromatic for flavor.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Soy protein hydrolyzate (moderate) — Hydrolyzed protein is a classic free-glutamate flavor enhancer; another contradiction of the 'no enhancers' claim.
• Coloring: beetroot and red pepper extract (moderate) — Added colorings to make the dusting look more appetizing — cosmetic, not nutritional.
• GARLIC POWDER (safe) — Real seasoning.
• citric acid (safe) — Acidity and tartness adjuster.
• Lactic Acid (safe) — A mild acid for flavor and preservation; safe.
• Smoke Flavor (moderate) — Manufactured flavoring standing in for real smoking.
