The Original Macaroon — BULLSHIT

Name: The Original Macaroon
Brand: Poppies Int. Nv.

Munch or Dump rates The Original Macaroon by Poppies Int. Nv. BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold as 'All Natural,' but it's a sugar-first confection padded with palm fat and the synthetic emulsifier sorbitan tristearate. The label and the list don't match.

Why this verdict

Marketed 'All Natural' yet contains sorbitan tristearate, a synthetic emulsifier
Sugar is the #1 ingredient, ahead of the coconut it's named for
Three sweetener sources stacked: sugar, glucose syrup, and dextrose
Palm and palm-kernel fats drive saturated fat to 8g per serving
NOVA group 4 ultra-processed: stabilizer plus emulsifier

Ingredients (10)

Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
Coconut (safe) — Real coconut; the one whole-food element, but very high in saturated fat.
glucose syrup (caution) — A second refined sweetener in the caramel.
egg white (safe) — Whipped egg white gives the meringue structure.
Dextrose (caution) — Second added sweetener.
potato starch (safe) — Anti-caking agent to keep shreds separate.
Vegetable fats (palm, palm kernel, coconut) (concerning) — Cheap tropical fats high in saturated fat; the palm-kernel blend pushes saturated fat to 8g per serving.
Defatted cocoa powder (safe) — Real cocoa gives the chocolate flavour and some antioxidants.
Stabilizer (sorbitan tristearate) (moderate) — E492, a synthetic emulsifier/stabilizer; its presence directly contradicts the 'All Natural' marketing.
Emulsifier (soy lecithin) (moderate) — Industrial emulsifier that binds the fat and sugar into a smoother, more moreish texture.
