Name: Snack Pack Chocolate Pudding
Brand: Snack Pack

Munch or Dump rates Snack Pack Chocolate Pudding by Snack Pack DUMP — score 17/90.

A water-and-sugar dessert thickened with modified cornstarch and slicked with palm oil, then finished with an emulsifier, artificial flavor, and added color. The 'real milk' is nonfat and watered down; this is engineered junk, not a wholesome snack.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the #3 ingredient, ahead of any cocoa
Modified cornstarch + palm oil do the work, not real dairy
Sodium stearoyl lactylate emulsifier holds the fake creaminess together
Artificial flavors plus added artificial color
Ultra-processed (NOVA 4) with no real nutritional payoff
