Nabati Richoco Chocolate Wafer — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Nabati Richoco Chocolate Wafer by Nabati DUMP — score 20/90.
A sugar-and-palm-oil wafer dressed up with a whisper of cocoa and a vitamin sprinkle. Sugar leads the ingredient list, refined maida and palm oil follow, and the whole thing is bound with stacked emulsifiers. It's engineered snack candy, not a source of nutrition.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
- Refined palm olein loads it with saturated fat (11.2g/100g)
- Refined maida flour, near-zero fiber
- Two stacked lecithin emulsifiers plus corn starch and flour treatment agent
- Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with only 3.6% cocoa solids
Ingredients (11)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- Refined Palm Olein (concerning) — Refined vegetable oil high in saturated fat; the main fat source and a hyper-palatability driver.
- Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (concerning) — Stripped white flour, no fiber, spikes blood sugar; the #1 ingredient
- Whey Powder (moderate) — Dairy protein fraction, minor and mostly for texture/flavour.
- Cocoa Powder (3.6% cocoa solids) (safe) — The one real flavor asset, but present in tiny amounts, mostly for color and taste.
- Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a coating and binder; empty carbs.
- Emulsifier INS 322 (lecithin) (moderate) — Soy lecithin emulsifier, an industrial processing marker.
- Iodized Salt (safe) — Common salt; iodine is a plus in small amounts.
- Acidity regulator (INS-330, citric acid) (safe) — Common tartness/pH agent, low concern on its own.
- Flour Treatment Agent (INS 1101 (i)) (moderate) — Enzyme dough conditioner used to engineer texture; a hallmark of industrial baking.
- Raising Agent (INS 500(ii), Sodium Bicarbonate) (moderate) — Leavening for the wafer — a benign but telltale sign of an industrially built product.
