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.
