S&W Premium Cream Style Corn — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates S&W Premium Cream Style Corn by S & W Fine Foods Inc. TREAT — score 45/90.
Mostly corn and water, but they thicken it with modified food starch and sweeten it with added sugar instead of letting the corn stand on its own.
Why this verdict
- Added sugar in a vegetable you don't need to sweeten
- Modified food starch fakes the creamy texture instead of real corn
- NOVA-4 processed despite the short ingredient list
- Sodium added for flavor on top of the sugar
Ingredients (5)
- Corn (safe) — Whole vegetable, minor starch and fiber.
- Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
- modified food starch (moderate) — Industrial thickener used to bulk and stabilize the sauce
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
