Spartan Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Spartan Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce by Spartan Whole TREAT — score 45/90.

Real cranberries drowned in two corn-based sugars. It's basically cranberry candy in a can.

Why this verdict

• 21g sugar per serving from two corn sweeteners
• High fructose corn syrup is the #2 ingredient
• Corn syrup added on top of HFCS — doubled-up sweetness
• Whole cranberries are real, but heavily sweetened

Ingredients (4)

• Cranberries (safe) — Real whole berries — the one genuinely good thing here, with natural antioxidants and fiber.
• High Fructose Corn Syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener stacked on the first; fructose load is linked to fatty liver and metabolic strain.
• Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
• Corn Syrup (concerning) — Cheap glucose syrup; pure added sugar with no nutrition, here as the second-largest ingredient.
