Munch or Dump rates Nextar Soft Brownies by Nabati DUMP — score 17/90.

Hydrogenated palm oil, maltodextrin, and artificial flavor wrapped around refined flour and sugar. This is a lab-built treat, not a brownie.

Why this verdict

Hydrogenated palm oil in both cookie and filling — a source of trans fat
Refined wheat flour (maida) + glucose syrup + sugar — the hyper-palatable triad
Maltodextrin and stacked emulsifiers signal heavy industrial processing
Only 4.5% cocoa despite being sold as chocolate brownies
Artificial vanilla flavor and preservative round out a lab-built formula

Ingredients (15)

Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (concerning) — Stripped white flour, no fiber, spikes blood sugar; the #1 ingredient
glucose syrup (caution) — A second refined sweetener in the caramel.
Hydrogenated Palm Olein (harmful) — Partially hydrogenated oil — a source of trans fat linked to heart disease.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
cocoa powder (safe) — Additional cocoa solids for depth.
Palm olein (moderate) — Refined vegetable oil high in saturated fat.
Humectant (INS 422 / Glycerol) (moderate) — Keeps it soft; harmless but signals processing.
Palm Sugar (concerning) — A second sugar source; still added sugar.
Emulsifier (INS 322 / soy lecithin) (moderate) — Binds fat and water; common processing aid.
Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
Artificial Vanilla Flavour (moderate) — Synthetic flavoring engineered for palatability.
Preservative (INS 202 / Potassium Sorbate) (moderate) — Chemical preservative to extend shelf life; generally regarded as safe but marks this as an industrial formula.
Antioxidant (INS 319 / TBHQ) (concerning) — Tertiary butylhydroquinone, a synthetic petroleum-derived preservative added to slow rancidity; restricted to low limits and questioned in higher-dose studies.
Leavening Agent (INS 500) (safe) — Baking soda; harmless.
Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
