Handcrafted Creme Cake — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Handcrafted Creme Cake by Roundy's Supermarkets DUMP — score 20/90.
Sugar is the very first ingredient, ahead of refined bleached flour and soybean oil — the classic hyper-palatable triad — then dosed with modified starch and propylene glycol emulsifiers. This is engineered indulgence, not a simple bakery treat.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of flour and oil
- Hyper-palatable triad: added sugar + soybean oil + refined starch
- Bleached, refined flour stripped of fiber
- Modified food starch and propylene glycol emulsifiers — NOVA 4 processing
- Calorie- and sugar-dense with negligible protein or fiber
Ingredients (9)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- Enriched bleached wheat flour (moderate) — Refined and bleached; fiber and most nutrients stripped, then a few synthetic vitamins added back.
- Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used to fake creaminess
- egg yolk (safe) — Used as an emulsifier; not a health concern in this amount.
- modified food starch (moderate) — Industrial thickener used to bulk and stabilize the sauce
- Whey (safe) — Milk protein byproduct used for texture; harmless.
- Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda) (safe) — Standard rising agents; safe in baking amounts.
- Egg Whites (safe) — Real egg white, adds structure and a little protein.
- Propylene Glycol Mono- & Diesters (moderate) — Synthetic emulsifier for soft, uniform crumb — a hallmark of engineered baked goods.
