Name: S&W Premium Petite-Cut Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions & Roasted Garlic
Brand: Sw

Munch or Dump rates S&W Premium Petite-Cut Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions & Roasted Garlic by Sw BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold as 'Premium' canned tomatoes, but high fructose corn syrup is the third ingredient and retailer listings flag it 'No Added Sugar' and 'No Artificial Ingredients' — both directly contradicted by the label.

Why this verdict

Listed as 'No Added Sugar' yet high fructose corn syrup is the 3rd ingredient
Tagged 'No Artificial Ingredients' while containing HFCS and vague 'natural flavors'
Added sugar in a savory tomato product that doesn't need any
'Natural flavors' hides an undisclosed flavor blend behind a clean-sounding label
