President's Choice Chipotle Mayo Sandwich Spread — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates President's Choice Chipotle Mayo Sandwich Spread by President's Choice ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A canola-oil-and-sugar base dressed up as a chipotle condiment, with three different sweeteners, modified corn starch and a stack of preservatives. It's a NOVA 4 lab build, not real mayo.

Why this verdict

• Three sweetener sources: sugar, brown sugar and blackstrap molasses
• Modified corn starch as a thickener — a refined industrial additive
• Stacked preservatives: potassium sorbate plus disodium EDTA
• Canola oil and sugar dominate before any real flavor ingredient
• NOVA 4: ~20 ingredients including smoke flavour and spice extracts
