Sabra Classic Hummus — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Sabra Classic Hummus by Sabra OKAY — score 60/90.
A genuinely short, recognizable ingredient list: chickpeas, tahini, and garlic. The only knocks are refined soybean oil and a preservative, which keep it out of MUNCH territory.
Why this verdict
- Short list of mostly whole-food ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, garlic
- No added sugar, artificial colors, or flavor enhancers
- Refined soybean oil adds processed fat with little upside
- Potassium sorbate is a preservative, not a nutrient
- Plant protein and fiber from chickpeas and sesame
Ingredients (8)
- Cooked chickpeas (safe) — Whole legume base — fiber, plant protein, and slow carbs.
- Tahini (ground sesame) (safe) — Ground whole sesame; healthy fats, calcium, and protein.
- Soybean oil (non-GMO) (moderate) — Refined seed oil — processed fat, high in omega-6, low nutritional value.
- Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
- GARLIC (safe) — A whole-food aromatic with its own beneficial compounds.
- Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
- citric acid (moderate) — Tartness and preservation, but the acidity erodes tooth enamel with regular exposure.
- Potassium Sorbate (moderate) — Synthetic preservative to extend shelf life; generally recognized as safe but not a clean-label ingredient.
