KinniToos Chocolate Sandwich Crème Cookies — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates KinniToos Chocolate Sandwich Crème Cookies by kinnikinnick DUMP — score 17/90.

A gluten-free Oreo clone built from sugar, palm-oil shortening, and a stack of refined starches, fibers, and stabilizers. The allergen-free halo doesn't change that it's an ultra-processed sugar-and-fat cookie with caramel color.

Why this verdict

• Over 20 ingredients — textbook ultra-processed
• Sugar appears twice plus glucose; sweetness dominates the formula
• Stacked refined starches (pea, potato, tapioca) and white rice flour spike blood sugar
• Modified cellulose stabilizer and double soy lecithin emulsifier
• Caramel color added purely for cosmetic darkness

Ingredients (17)

• Icing sugar (powdered sugar, cornstarch) (concerning) — Refined sugar is the base of the crème filling — pure fast carbs with cornstarch as anti-caking.
• Non-hydrogenated shortening (palm oil/canola) (moderate) — Refined fat for texture; non-hydrogenated avoids trans fat but it's still a refined oil and palm oil is saturated.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• pea starch (moderate) — Refined starch thickener and filler.
• potato starch (safe) — Anti-caking agent to keep shreds separate.
• WHITE RICE FLOUR (moderate) — Refined starch with the bran and germ removed — spikes blood sugar quickly and offers little fiber or protein.
• cocoa powder (safe) — Additional cocoa solids for depth.
• TAPIOCA STARCH (moderate) — Refined starch used for binding and chew, nutritionally empty.
• Glucose (caution) — Second added sugar, there to sharpen the hit.
• Pea Protein (moderate) — Second isolated protein; drives the 20g protein figure.
• Modified cellulose (moderate) — Industrial stabilizer/thickener — a marker of ultra-processing, not something in a real cookie.
• Pea fiber (moderate) — Isolated fiber, second added fiber.
• caramel color (caution) — Artificial coloring for a browned look, no nutritional purpose.
• inulin (moderate) — Chicory-root fiber; boosts the fiber number but can cause bloating in sensitive people.
• Sodium Bicarbonate (safe) — Standard baking leavener.
• Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
• Vanilla Extract (safe) — Real vanilla flavoring.
