Twangers Blue Razz — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Twangers Blue Razz by bobbys foods DUMP — score 20/90.
Sugar-coated candy belts built on sugar, glucose-fructose syrup and palm oil, dyed with artificial blue E133 and flavored with synthetic 'blue razz' flavorings. No real fruit anywhere.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient, glucose-fructose syrup the #2 — pure sugar delivery
- Three sweetener sources (sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose)
- Artificial blue dye E133 and synthetic flavorings stand in for real fruit
- Refined palm oil plus 52g sugar per 100g — empty, hyper-palatable calories
Ingredients (11)
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- glucose-fructose syrup (concerning) — A second, refined liquid sweetener; rapidly absorbed and linked to fat storage and metabolic strain.
- wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour — fast carbs, little fibre, spikes blood sugar.
- malic acid (safe) — Sour/fizzy acid; harmless but signals candy, not food.
- citric acid (safe) — Common acidulant for tartness; harmless in this amount but can be rough on tooth enamel.
- Dextrose (moderate) — A second added sugar, used on the chicken; spikes blood sugar fast.
- vegetable oil (palm oil (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat used for texture; environmental concerns too.
- flavorings (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend in the frank — vague and unspecified.
- Color E133 (Brilliant Blue FCF) (concerning) — Artificial blue dye with no nutritional purpose; flagged in child-behaviour studies.
- Antioxidants E300, E306 (Vitamin C / tocopherols) (safe) — Added to protect the oil from going rancid; not a health benefit.
- Beeswax (glazing agent) (safe) — Surface glaze; harmless but means not vegan.
