Kamoi Grinded Seasoned Codfish — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Kamoi Grinded Seasoned Codfish by Kamoi Shokuhin Kogyo Co. Ltd. TREAT — score 45/90.

A Japanese sweet-savory dried fish snack where sugar, not fish, leads the list. Simple ingredients but it's candy-coated pollack with added color.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of the actual fish
• Real pollack gives it some protein backbone
• Short, recognizable list with no maltodextrin or emulsifier stack
• Two added colorants (beet red, cochineal) for looks, not nutrition

Ingredients (6)

• Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
• Alaska pollack (safe) — Lean white fish, a genuine source of protein and the one nutritionally redeeming part.
• Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
• Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
• Beet red (safe) — A plant-derived (betanin) colorant. Harmless but purely cosmetic.
• Cochineal extract (moderate) — Natural red dye from insects. Generally safe but a known allergen for some and a cosmetic-only additive.
