Propercorn Sweet & Salty Popcorn — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Propercorn Sweet & Salty Popcorn by PROPER CORN TREAT — score 45/90.
A genuinely short, clean 5-ingredient list, but the sweet glaze means added sugar and refined oil coat every kernel. Simple indulgence, not health food.
Why this verdict
- Added demerara sugar coats every kernel
- Isomalt glazing agent adds a second sweetener
- Rapeseed oil is a refined oil
- Base is genuinely wholegrain corn (63%) with real fibre
- Short, recognizable 5-ingredient list, no artificial additives
Ingredients (5)
- Wholegrain corn (63%) (safe) — Whole grain, delivers fibre and keeps the base minimally processed.
- rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
- demerara sugar (moderate) — Added sugar for the sweet glaze; still sugar despite the 'natural' framing.
- Glazing agent (isomalt) (moderate) — Sugar alcohol used to set the sweet coating; a second sweetener source and can cause GI upset in quantity.
- Sea Salt (safe) — Standard seasoning in small amounts.
