Munch or Dump rates Rum-Pum Veg Noodles by Rum-Pum Veg DUMP — score 20/90.

Fried refined-wheat instant noodles built on MSG, refined oil and an additive blend hiding behind 'permitted food additives' — a NOVA 4 snack with vitamins sprinkled on top.

Why this verdict

Refined wheat flour fried in vegetable oil — empty refined carbs plus frying fat
Monosodium Glutamate drives the savory craving with no nutritional benefit
Iodised salt this high up the list means a heavy sodium load
'Permitted food additives' is an undisclosed grab-bag — you can't see what you're eating
Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): sauces, gum and enhancers stacked on a fried noodle base

Ingredients (11)

wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour — fast carbs, little fibre, spikes blood sugar.
Iodised Salt (safe) — Adds sodium and iodine; fine in moderation.
Chilli (safe) — Whole spice, adds heat via capsaicin; no concern.
Vegetable Oil (moderate) — Refined oil padding the fat content beyond the butter.
Tomato Ketchup (moderate) — Processed condiment, typically carries added sugar and salt.
Chilli Sauce (moderate) — Processed sauce adding sugar, salt and acidity.
SOYA SAUCE (moderate) — Fermented but very high in sodium, piling onto the salt load.
Spices (safe) — Generic seasoning blend, no concern.
MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (moderate) — Synthetic flavor enhancer engineered to amplify umami and sodium
Edible Gum (moderate) — Thickener/stabilizer typical of engineered processed food.
Permitted Food Additives (concerning) — Undisclosed catch-all — hides preservatives, regulators and possibly more enhancers from the label.
