Majestic Bread Butter Chips — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Majestic Bread Butter Chips by Majestic DUMP — score 17/90.

Sweet pickle chips drowned in high-fructose corn syrup with an artificial Yellow 5 dye and a chemical preservative. The cucumber is just a delivery vehicle for sugar and additives.

Why this verdict

• High-fructose corn syrup is the #2 ingredient — pure added sugar
• Yellow 5 (tartrazine) artificial dye, cosmetic only, linked to hyperactivity
• Sodium benzoate preservative
• A vegetable turned into a sugar-and-dye delivery system

Ingredients (11)

• Cucumbers (safe) — The actual vegetable base; fine on its own.
• High Fructose Corn Syrup (caution) — The dominant sweetener and second ingredient; drives the sugar load.
• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• vinegar (safe) — Mild preservative and flavor enhancer.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• mustard seeds (safe) — The real deal — nutrient-dense seed with antioxidants and healthy fats, virtually no calories in a serving.
• Onion Flakes (safe) — Dehydrated onion, no additives.
• calcium chloride (safe) — Firming salt that keeps the dice from turning to mush; trace amount, well tolerated.
• sodium benzoate (caution) — Chemical preservative for shelf life.
• Celery seeds (safe) — Whole spice for flavor.
• yellow 5 (avoid) — Artificial dye linked to sensitivity in some people; unnecessary here.
