Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws Sea Salt — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws Sea Salt by Sensible Portions DUMP — score 20/90.

This is fried potato starch and oil wearing a vegetable costume. The 'garden veggies' are trace powders and colorants, and the base is refined starch, refined oil, and added sugar.

Why this verdict

• Base is refined potato starch, potato flour, and oil, not real vegetables
• The 'garden veggies' (spinach, tomato, beet) are trace powders used mostly for color
• Refined starch + refined oil + added sugar hyper-palatable pattern
• Rated NOVA 4, ultra-processed
• Nearly as much fat and salt as regular potato chips

Ingredients (12)

• potato starch (moderate) — Refined starch used for coating texture; adds refined carbs.
• Potato Flour (moderate) — Another refined potato derivative; adds to the starchy, blood-sugar-spiking base.
• Canola/Sunflower/Safflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oils used for frying; energy-dense with little nutritional upside.
• Corn Starch (moderate) — Refined starch used as a coating and binder; empty carbs.
• Cane Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar with no nutritional benefit; drives palatability and blood-sugar spikes.
• Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
• POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (safe) — Salt substitute for seasoning.
• spinach powder (safe) — Real vegetable, but a trace amount for color and the 'veggie' name, not meaningful nutrition.
• Sea Salt (safe) — Standard seasoning in small amounts.
• Tomato paste (safe) — Small amount for flavor and color; not enough to count as a vegetable serving.
• Beetroot Powder (safe) — Used as a natural color, not for nutrition.
• TURMERIC EXTRACT (safe) — Natural yellow coloring agent.
