Ingredients (20)

dehydrated potatoes (moderate) — Reconstituted potato flakes, not whole potato; refined starch base with little intact nutrition.
Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for mouthfeel; contributes omega-6 and calories.
Corn Flour (moderate) — Refined starch used to bind the dough.
wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour filler; contains gluten.
Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
Whey permeate powder (milk) (moderate) — Cheap lactose-rich dairy byproduct used to carry flavor.
Flavourings (moderate) — Undisclosed added flavor compounds engineered to mimic BBQ ribs.
Monosodium glutamate (E621) (concerning) — Flavor enhancer that boosts palatability and drives overeating.
Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides (E635) (concerning) — Nucleotide enhancer that synergizes with MSG; hallmark of an engineered flavor stack.
fructose (moderate) — A second added sweetener stacked on top of sugar.
Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined starch with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; spikes blood glucose and flags ultra-processing.
Smoked maltodextrin (concerning) — Second maltodextrin, smoke-flavored; more processed filler.
Caramel colour (concerning) — Added colour to fake a grilled look; some forms carry contaminant concerns.
Paprika Extract (moderate) — Added colour/flavor to enhance the BBQ appearance.
Annatto (norbixin) (moderate) — Added colour that can trigger sensitivity in some people.
Emulsifier (E471) (moderate) — Mono- and diglycerides; industrial emulsifier used to hold the dough together.
rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch binder.
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (safe) — Salt substitute for seasoning.
YEAST EXTRACT (safe) — Concentrated deactivated yeast that supplies natural glutamates for the savory flavor plus B vitamins; a whole-ish food, not a synthetic additive.
