Orion The Ultimate Choco Chip Cookies — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Orion The Ultimate Choco Chip Cookies by Orion DUMP — score 17/90.

Hydrogenated vegetable fat plus three different sugars and lab-made flavors. This is a heavily engineered cookie wearing a 'premium gourmet' costume.

Why this verdict

• Hydrogenated vegetable fat means trans fat, the worst fat for your heart
• Three sugar sources stacked: sugar, liquid glucose and invert syrup
• Refined wheat flour (maida) base with zero whole grain
• Nature-identical (artificial) chocolate, milk and vanilla flavors
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) despite 'premium gourmet' framing

Ingredients (12)

• Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (concerning) — Stripped white flour, no fiber, spikes blood sugar; the #1 ingredient
• Chocolate chips (26%) (moderate) — Real cocoa is present but the chips are mostly sugar, with emulsifiers added.
• Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat (harmful) — Source of trans fats, which are linked to heart disease.
• Liquid glucose (moderate) — A simple syrup adding sweetness and texture.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• invert syrup (moderate) — A third sweetener that keeps the cookie soft.
• Milk Solids (safe) — Curdled dairy solids — the protein, fat, and calcium of milk. Whole-food base with no processing tricks.
• Cocoa Solids (safe) — Provides chocolate flavor and some antioxidants.
• Leavening agents (INS 503(ii), INS 500(ii)) (safe) — Standard baking raising agents; harmless.
• Emulsifiers (INS 322 lecithin, INS 476) (moderate) — Texture stabilizers typical of processed baked goods.
• Nature-identical flavouring substances (chocolate, milk, vanilla) (moderate) — Lab-synthesized flavors standing in for real ingredients.
• EDIBLE COMMON SALT (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
