Mega Marshmallow — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Mega Marshmallow by Rocky mountain TREAT — score 43/90.
It's a marshmallow the size of a fist, and it knows it: two sugars, starch, and gelatin whipped around a phosphate salt. The 'fat free' badge is technically true and completely beside the point — this is roughly 60% sugar by weight. Roast it, enjoy it, don't confuse zero fat with zero consequences.
Why this verdict
- First two ingredients are glucose syrup and sugar — this is candy, full stop
- Multiple sweeteners detected — sweetness engineered, not simple
- Tetrasodium pyrophosphate (E450) as whipping/texture agent — a phosphate additive of concern at habitual intake
- Unspecified 'flavour' — you don't get to know what it is
- Short, honest candy list with no colors or enhancer stacks — indulgent but not lab-built
Ingredients (7)
- glucose syrup (caution) — A second refined sweetener in the caramel.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Starch (moderate) — Added refined starch for structure, empty carbs
- Pork gelatin (moderate) — Animal gelling agent; makes the product non-vegetarian.
- Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
- Tetrasodium pyrophosphate (E450) (moderate) — Stabilizer/whipping aid; fine in small amounts but a sign of processing.
- Flavour (moderate) — Unspecified added flavoring; nature undisclosed.
