Maaza Mango Drink — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Maaza Mango Drink by Mazza DUMP — score 17/90.

A sugar-water drink wearing a mango costume. Real mango is a small fraction; sugar, artificial flavor, and preservatives do most of the work.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient, right behind water
• Contains artificial flavoring substances despite the 'real mango' image
• Synthetic preservative (sodium benzoate, 211) and acidity regulator
• Mango pulp is only ~19.5% — mostly sweetened water
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4); a glass can exceed a day's added sugar

Ingredients (8)

• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Acidity Regulator 330 (Citric Acid) (safe) — Common food acid for tartness; generally harmless.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• Antioxidant (300 ascorbic acid) (safe) — Vitamin C used mainly to protect flavor and color, not as a real nutrition boost.
• Preservative (211 Sodium Benzoate) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative; can form trace benzene with ascorbic acid and marks this as a processed formulation.
• Natural and Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-created 'nature-identical' flavors doing the heavy lifting on taste.
• Artificial Flavouring Substances (concerning) — Purely synthetic flavor chemicals — the tell that this is engineered taste, not fruit.
