Brand: Mt. Olive

Munch or Dump rates Mt. Olive No Sugar Added Sweet Relish by Mt. Olive DUMP — score 17/90.

Cucumbers swimming in artificial sweetener, an emulsifier, and Yellow 5 dye — a NOVA 4 condiment dressed up as a low-sugar health pick.

Why this verdict

Yellow 5 artificial dye colors it — pure cosmetics, linked to hyperactivity in sensitive kids
Sucralose (Splenda) replaces sugar but may disrupt your gut bacteria
Polysorbate 80 is an industrial emulsifier tied to gut-lining irritation
Sodium benzoate, alum, and 'natural flavors' stack on top — reads NOVA 4
'No sugar added' distracts from the artificial dye and sweetener inside

Cucumbers (safe) — The actual vegetable base; fine on its own.
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.
Sucralose (Splenda) (concerning) — Artificial sweetener that can alter gut bacteria and may train cravings for sweetness.
Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Industrial thickener.
Red Bell Pepper (safe) — Real vegetable for color and flavor.
sodium benzoate (caution) — Chemical preservative for shelf life.
calcium chloride (safe) — Firming salt that keeps the dice from turning to mush; trace amount, well tolerated.
Alum (moderate) — Aluminum-based firming agent; not something you'd add to fresh-pickled cucumbers.
Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
POLYSORBATE 80 (caution) — Synthetic emulsifier used to mimic creaminess cheaply.
Yellow 5 (tartrazine) (caution) — Synthetic petroleum-derived dye linked to hyperactivity sensitivity in some children.
