Good Day Cashew Cookie — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Good Day Cashew Cookie by Britannia DUMP — score 17/90.

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 (concerning) — Stripped of bran and germ, so it acts like fast sugar with little fiber.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Edible vegetable oil (palm) (concerning) — Refined palm oil, high in saturated fat; a processed fat added for softness and shelf life.
• Cashew nuts (45%) (safe) — The one genuinely good ingredient, but at 4.5% the health benefit is minimal.
• Interesterified Vegetable Fat (concerning) — Industrially rearranged fat replacing trans fat; emerging evidence links it to poor metabolic markers.
• Cocoa Solids (3%) (safe) — Small amount of cocoa for flavor; benign.
• invert syrup (moderate) — A third sweetener that keeps the cookie soft.
• Milk Solids (safe) — Curdled dairy solids — the protein, fat, and calcium of milk. Whole-food base with no processing tricks.
• Butter (0.6%) (safe) — Trace amount, more for label appeal than real content.
• Raising Agents (503ii, 500ii) (safe) — Ammonium and sodium bicarbonate leavening; standard and harmless in these amounts.
• 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 (moderate) — Necessary for thyroid health, but overuse can contribute to hypertension.
