Private Selection Asian Inspired Spicy Orange Simmer Sauce — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Private Selection Asian Inspired Spicy Orange Simmer Sauce by No Mnaufacturer DUMP — score 17/90.

Sugar is the second ingredient in a 17-item processed sauce thickened with two stabilizers — it's mostly sweetened, salted flavor water dressed up as gourmet.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of every real aromatic
• Orange juice concentrate piles a second sweetener on top
• 17 ingredients with two stabilizers (corn starch + xanthan gum) = NOVA-4 processed
• Salt shows up twice over (added salt plus salty tamari) — sodium-heavy
• Real ginger, garlic and sesame oil are minor afterthoughts near the bottom
