Sensations Poppadoms - Lime & Coriander Chutney — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Sensations Poppadoms - Lime & Coriander Chutney by Sensations DUMP — score 20/90.
A snack engineered from a stack of refined starches and flours fried in 22% sunflower oil, then dusted with sugar and seasoning. The 'poppadom' name and chickpea flour dress up what is really a hyper-palatable refined-carb crisp.
Why this verdict
- Three to four refined starch/flour fractions stacked (potato granules, potato starch, gram flour, rice flour) - fast carbs, almost no whole food
- 22% sunflower oil makes it fat- and calorie-dense (487 kcal/100g)
- Added sugar and barley malt extract in the seasoning on top of the starch
- Rated NOVA 4 ultra-processed; salt 0.39g per 13g pack adds up fast
Ingredients (11)
- Sunflower oil (22%) (moderate) — Refined seed oil at nearly a quarter of the product - drives the high fat and calorie load.
- Potato granules (17%) (moderate) — Reconstituted dehydrated potato - a refined, fast-digesting starch base, not whole potato.
- Potato starch (17%) (moderate) — Isolated refined starch, pure fast carbohydrate with no fibre or nutrients.
- Gram flour (14%) (safe) — Chickpea flour - the one genuine ingredient here, contributing a little protein and fibre.
- rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch used as a cheap filler, not a nutritional addition.
- Sugar (in seasoning) (moderate) — Added sugar layered onto an already starch-heavy snack.
- Barley Malt Extract (moderate) — Malt sweetener for colour and flavour
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
- Dried garlic & onion (safe) — Standard dehydrated aromatics for flavour, no real concern.
- citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness; harmless in this amount but can be rough on tooth enamel.
- Spices (coriander, paprika, chilli, cumin) (safe) — Genuine spices providing the lime-coriander-chilli flavour.
