Sunfeast Dark Fantasy — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Sunfeast Dark Fantasy by Sunfeast DUMP — score 20/90.
A chocolate-filled cream biscuit built on hydrogenated oil, refined palm oil, refined flour and multiple sugars. The hydrogenated vegetable oil alone is a trans-fat red flag, and the rest is a NOVA-4 stack of artificial flavors and emulsifiers.
Why this verdict
- Hydrogenated vegetable oil — industrial trans fat that hurts your heart
- Sugar, invert syrup and liquid glucose — three distinct sweetener sources
- Refined palm oil and palmolein plus refined wheat flour — empty refined calories
- Artificial flavors (ethyl vanillin), added colors and stacked emulsifiers
- Real cocoa is barely present (0.7% in the biscuit); flavor comes from chemicals
Ingredients (14)
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Refined palm oil / palmolein (concerning) — Highly refined, saturated-fat-heavy oil with no nutritional upside.
- Hydrogenated vegetable oil (harmful) — A source of artificial trans fat that raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol; no safe level.
- Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (moderate) — Stripped white flour with no fiber; spikes blood sugar and undercuts the 'whole wheat' claim.
- invert syrup (concerning) — A second free-sugar source for sweetness and browning.
- Liquid glucose (concerning) — A second refined sweetener; rapidly absorbed sugar that adds to the glycemic hit.
- Cocoa Solids (safe) — The actual chocolate; contributes flavor and some antioxidants, but it's far down the list.
- Antioxidant (INS 322, lecithin) (safe) — Soy lecithin used as antioxidant/emulsifier; generally safe in these amounts.
- Raising agents (INS 503, 500, 450) (safe) — Standard leavening agents; safe but signal a heavily formulated product.
- Emulsifiers (INS 322, INS 471) (moderate) — Stacked emulsifiers that hold this ultra-processed formula together; a NOVA-4 marker.
- Butter / milk solids (moderate) — Adds dairy fat and richness; not harmful but adds saturated fat.
- Natural colours (INS 150c, 150d caramel) (moderate) — Caramel coloring used purely for cosmetic appeal; some classes carry contaminant concerns.
- Artificial flavouring (ethyl vanillin) (moderate) — Synthetic flavor standing in for real chocolate/vanilla; signals lab-built taste.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
