Good Day Cashew Cookie — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Good Day Cashew Cookie by Britannia DUMP — score 20/90.
Refined flour and sugar cookie built on palm oil and lab-made interesterified fat, with only 4.5% cashew and artificial flavours doing the heavy lifting.
Why this verdict
- Refined wheat flour and sugar dominate - sugar is listed twice to spread it down the label
- Only 4.5% cashew despite the name; nuts are a garnish, not the base
- Built on palm oil plus interesterified vegetable fat, a lab-modified hard fat
- Multiple emulsifiers (322, 471, 472e) and invert syrup - textbook ultra-processing
- Contains nature-identical and artificial flavours faking butter, milk and vanilla
Ingredients (13)
- Refined wheat flour (moderate) — Stripped of fiber and nutrients; a fast-digesting refined starch that spikes blood sugar.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Edible vegetable oil (palm) (concerning) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat, sitting as the second-largest ingredient. Cheap fat that drives the calorie density.
- Cashew nuts (45%) (safe) — The one genuinely good ingredient, but at 4.5% the health benefit is minimal.
- Interesterified Vegetable Fat (concerning) — A chemically restructured hard fat used to replace trans fats; industrially processed and best avoided.
- Cocoa Solids (3%) (safe) — Small amount of cocoa for flavor; benign.
- invert syrup (concerning) — A second added sugar in liquid form to boost sweetness and moisture.
- Milk Solids (safe) — Reconstituted dairy solids; adds some protein and calcium.
- Butter (0.6%) (safe) — Trace amount, more for label appeal than real content.
- Raising Agents (503ii, 500ii) (safe) — Standard leavening agents; harmless.
- Emulsifiers (322, 471, 472e) (moderate) — A stack of emulsifiers (lecithin, mono/diglycerides) that signal engineered texture.
- Artificial and nature-identical flavours (milk, vanilla) (concerning) — Synthetic flavours faking butter, milk and vanilla notes the real ingredients can't deliver.
- Iodised Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance; iodine is beneficial.
