Rainbow Cherry — DUMP

Name: Rainbow Cherry
Brand: Squire Boone Village

Munch or Dump rates Rainbow Cherry by Squire Boone Village DUMP — score 20/90.

Sugar and glucose syrup colored with five artificial dyes and artificial flavor. This is pure novelty candy with nothing redeeming.

Why this verdict

Sugar and glucose syrup are the only two real ingredients
Five artificial dyes stacked for color (Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1)
Red 3 is linked to thyroid tumors in animal studies
Artificial flavor with zero real cherry
Pure empty calories, ultra-processed (NOVA 4)

Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness and preservation; safe in these amounts.
Artificial Flavors (moderate) — Lab-made flavor compounds in a product sold as premium dark chocolate; not what you'd expect at this tier.
red 40 (concerning) — A petroleum-derived artificial dye linked to hyperactivity in children; purely cosmetic.
red 3 (harmful) — Artificial dye (erythrosine) being phased out of the food supply over cancer concerns; purely cosmetic.
yellow 5 (concerning) — Tartrazine, a synthetic dye tied to hyperactivity and allergic reactions in some people.
yellow 6 (concerning) — Synthetic azo dye; cosmetic only, flagged for behavioral effects in sensitive kids.
blue 1 (concerning) — Synthetic artificial dye with no nutritional purpose, used only for color.
