Brand: society

Munch or Dump rates Society Sweet & Spicy Mango Pickle by society ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A mango base buried under two added sweeteners (sugar ahead of jaggery), refined corn oil, and a sodium benzoate preservative — built for a sweet-spicy hit, not nourishment.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the #2 ingredient, ahead of the jaggery — two added sweeteners stacked together
Refined corn oil adds empty industrial fat
Sodium benzoate (INS 211), a synthetic preservative, keeps it shelf-stable for 24 months
Two acidity regulators (INS 330, INS 260) round out a processed, lab-tuned profile
Mango base is real, but it's drowned in sweetness and additives

Ingredients (18)

Mango (45%) (safe) — Real fruit and the dominant ingredient — the one genuinely wholesome part.
Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
Jaggery (8%) (moderate) — Less refined than sugar but still added sugar — a second sweetener source on top of the first.
Red Chilli Powder (safe) — Real spice.
Fenugreek (safe) — Traditional pickling spice, neutral to mildly beneficial.
mustard (safe) — Simple flavoring with negligible health impact.
Iodised Salt (safe) — Adds sodium and iodine; fine in moderation.
Fennel Seeds (safe) — Whole seed, traditional breath freshener and mild digestive carminative.
Coriander seeds (safe) — Whole spice seed, harmless and mildly aromatic.
cumin (safe) — Whole spice.
corn oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil — industrial fat, high in omega-6, empty calories.
Asafoetida (safe) — Traditional spice resin for aroma and digestion; benign.
cinnamon (safe) — Whole spice.
Clove (safe) — Whole spice, harmless.
TURMERIC POWDER (safe) — Natural spice and colorant with curcumin.
Acidity regulator (INS-330, citric acid) (moderate) — Synthetic acidulant for tang and shelf life; generally safe but a processing marker.
Acidity Regulator (INS 260, Acetic Acid) (moderate) — Processing aid for pH and shelf life.
Preservative (INS 211, Sodium Benzoate) (moderate) — Synthetic class II preservative; flags this as industrially processed and clashes with 'organic'.
