Soy Milk (Chocolate) — DUMP

Name: Soy Milk (Chocolate)
Brand: Sahm In International Company

Munch or Dump rates Soy Milk (Chocolate) by Sahm In International Company DUMP — score 17/90.

It says soy milk; it drinks like liquid candy. Three separate sweeteners — high fructose corn syrup, sugar, AND corn syrup — plus artificial flavor and an emulsifier stack, all wearing the wholesome plant-milk costume of a company that markets itself on health. The soybeans are real; so is the syrup right behind them.

Why this verdict

Three distinct sweetener sources: high fructose corn syrup, sugar, and low-DE corn syrup — a sweetness system, not a recipe
HFCS is the third ingredient, ahead of the cocoa that supposedly defines the drink
Artificial flavor in a product marketed on plant-based purity
Stacked emulsifiers/stabilizers: gum arabic plus glycerin esters of fatty acids
Added corn oil for mouthfeel — fat, sugar and flavoring layered onto a health-halo base

Ingredients (12)

Filtered Water (safe) — Base liquid, no concern.
soybeans (safe) — The fermented protein source that gives soy sauce its savory umami depth.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (caution) — The dominant sweetener and second ingredient; drives the sugar load.
Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Low DE Corn Syrup (concerning) — A third refined sweetener/bulking syrup; three sweeteners together spike the sugar load.
cocoa powder (safe) — Additional cocoa solids for depth.
corn oil (moderate) — Refined frying oil; contributes to the high fat load.
calcium carbonate (safe) — Added calcium — a mineral fortificant.
Arabic Gum (moderate) — Stabilizer/thickener; benign on its own but a marker of a built formula.
Glycerin Esters of Fatty Acids (moderate) — Emulsifier used to hold the oil and water together; appears twice, signaling heavy processing.
Artificial Flavor) (moderate) — Lab-made flavor doing the 'creme' work.
Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
