Sliders White Enriched Mini Buns — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Sliders White Enriched Mini Buns by Dillons DUMP — score 20/90.
Refined white buns built on enriched flour, high fructose corn syrup, refined soybean oil and a stack of dough conditioners. Soft texture, but it's the hyper-palatable triad with zero whole-grain value.
Why this verdict
- High fructose corn syrup is the #3 ingredient
- Enriched white flour, bran and germ stripped out
- Refined soybean oil adds the third leg of the hyper-palatable triad
- Stacked dough conditioners and emulsifiers (monoglycerides, SSL, calcium sulfate, ammonium sulfate)
- Ultra-processed NOVA 4 bread, no whole-grain value
Ingredients (14)
- Enriched flour (wheat flour, malted barley, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid) (moderate) — Refined white flour with bran and germ removed, then fortified with synthetic vitamins. Spikes blood sugar, little fiber.
- Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener stacked on the first; fructose load is linked to fatty liver and metabolic strain.
- yeast (safe) — Standard leavening, fine.
- Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used to fake creaminess
- wheat gluten (safe) — Added protein/structure; fine unless you're gluten sensitive.
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
- soy flour (safe) — Cheap protein and binder for the batter.
- MONOGLYCERIDES (moderate) — Emulsifier; can hide industrial trans fat and signals processing.
- Calcium Sulfate (safe) — Firming/anti-caking agent; neutral.
- Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (moderate) — Synthetic emulsifier that fakes a creamy texture without cream.
- Ammonium sulfate (moderate) — Yeast nutrient / dough conditioner. Another lab additive.
- ascorbic acid (safe) — Vitamin C, used to preserve freshness; benign and even mildly beneficial.
- calcium propionate (moderate) — Mold-inhibiting preservative. Generally tolerated but a sign this is shelf-stable industrial bread.
