Munch or Dump rates Malkist Cheese Flavoured Crunchy Layered Cracker Biscuits by Mayora DUMP — score 20/90.

Refined flour, palm oil and sugar crackers dressed up with maltodextrin, artificial cheese flavor and two synthetic dyes (tartrazine + sunset yellow). This is textbook ultra-processed junk.

Why this verdict

Sugar (15.8%) plus glucose syrup make this a sweet snack, not a real cracker
Refined flour + palm oil + sugar = the classic hyper-palatable triad built for craving
Two artificial dyes, tartrazine (E102) and sunset yellow (E110), linked to child hyperactivity
Cheese flavour is mostly artificial; real cheese powder is just 1.62% and cut with maltodextrin
Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): maltodextrin, tapioca starch, glucose syrup, soy lecithin

Ingredients (15)

Refined wheat flour (moderate) — Stripped of fiber and nutrients; a fast-digesting refined starch that spikes blood sugar.
Palm Olein (vegetable oil) (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat; adds calorie density with no benefit.
Sugar (15.8%) (concerning) — Added sugar is the third ingredient and nearly a sixth of the product by weight.
Whey Powder (moderate) — Cheap dairy protein/lactose filler used to bulk up milk solids.
glucose syrup (concerning) — Refined liquid sugar and the #2 ingredient; spikes blood sugar and is the binder holding this bar together.
Cheese Powder (Cheese, Maltodextrin) 1.62% (concerning) — Only 1.62% and cut with maltodextrin, a rapidly-absorbed processed starch.
TAPIOCA STARCH (moderate) — Refined starch used as a thickener to replace the body lost by cutting fat and sugar; a processing crutch.
Leavening Agents (E503, E500) (safe) — Standard baking raising agents; harmless in these amounts.
Malt Extract (0.42%) (safe) — Trace flavoring/sweetener; the 'malt for energy' claim rests on this tiny amount.
BUTTER (moderate) — Real dairy fat; recognizable but adds to the saturated fat total.
Artificial Flavouring Substance (Cheese) (concerning) — Lab-made cheese flavor doing the work that real cheese should; signals a synthetic formula.
Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin E322) (moderate) — Processing aid to bind fat and water; marker of an engineered product.
Vitamin Premix (B1, B2, B6, B12) (safe) — Synthetic vitamins added for a fortification claim; does not redeem the base formula.
Synthetic Colour E102 (Tartrazine) (harmful) — Artificial yellow dye linked to hyperactivity in children and allergic reactions.
Synthetic Colour E110 (Sunset Yellow) (harmful) — Artificial orange dye; part of the Southampton dyes flagged for child hyperactivity.
