Morehouse Prepared Horseradish — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Morehouse Prepared Horseradish by Morehouse BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Sells itself on 'True Natural Taste' while loading in artificial flavoring, titanium dioxide, and a stack of chemical preservatives.
Why this verdict
- 'True Natural Taste' on the label, but artificial flavoring is right there in the ingredients
- Titanium dioxide added purely for color — banned as a food additive in the EU
- Triple preservative stack: potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulfite
- Modified food starch and EDTA push it firmly into ultra-processed territory
