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 (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
Coconut (moderate) — A whole-food base with fiber and minerals, but very high in saturated fat and calories.
glucose syrup (concerning) — A second refined sweetener layered on top of the sugar — pure fast carbs.
egg white (safe) — Binds the macaroon; a clean protein source.
Dextrose (concerning) — A second added sugar (pure glucose) that hits the bloodstream even faster than sucrose.
potato starch (moderate) — Another refined starch thickener layered on top of the modified maize starch.
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) — Stripped-down cocoa for color and flavor; neutral.
Stabilizer (sorbitan tristearate) (moderate) — E492, a synthetic emulsifier/stabilizer; its presence directly contradicts the 'All Natural' marketing.
Emulsifier (soy lecithin) (moderate) — A processed emulsifier; common but marks this as a manufactured product, not a simple baked good.
