Brand: Grace

Munch or Dump rates Grace Coconut Milk by Grace ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

Mostly coconut extract, but propped up with a synthetic emulsifier (polysorbate) and a cellulose stabilizer to fake a creamy texture, landing it in ultra-processed territory.

Why this verdict

Polysorbate 60 (E435), a synthetic emulsifier linked to gut-lining disruption
Carboxymethyl cellulose (E466), a chemically-modified stabilizer, not a real food
Two stacked industrial additives make it ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
Additives exist to fake creaminess, not to nourish

Ingredients (4)

Coconut extract (86%) (safe) — Real coconut, the actual food here. Rich in saturated fat but a legitimate whole-food base.
Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
Emulsifier E435 (Polysorbate 60) (concerning) — A synthetic emulsifier. Emerging research links polysorbate emulsifiers to disruption of the gut mucus layer and microbiome. Purely there to stop fat separation.
Stabilizer (E466 carboxymethyl cellulose) (concerning) — A chemically-modified cellulose gum used to thicken and hold texture. Also tied in studies to gut-microbiome and inflammation concerns. A processing aid, not nutrition.
