Unibic Sugar Free Butter Cookies — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Unibic Sugar Free Butter Cookies by Unibic DUMP — score 17/90.

A refined-maida cookie dressed up as a health food. "Sugar free" just means the sugar was swapped for maltitol, a polyol that can trigger bloating and a laxative effect — the white-flour-and-butter base is still a treat, not a wellness snack.

Why this verdict

• Refined wheat flour (maida) is the #1 ingredient — fiber stripped, blood-sugar spiking
• Maltitol sweetener can cause bloating, gas and a laxative effect
• 20% butter makes it calorie-dense and saturated-fat heavy
• Soy emulsifier marks it as an ultra-processed (NOVA 4) formula
• "Sugar free" masks that it's still a refined-flour butter cookie

Ingredients (6)

• Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (concerning) — Stripped white flour, no fiber, spikes blood sugar; the #1 ingredient
• Butter (20%) (moderate) — Real dairy fat, but a high proportion here makes the cookie calorie-dense and heavy in saturated fat.
• Maltitol (Sweetener) (moderate) — Sugar alcohol used to replace sugar; lower glycemic impact but commonly causes bloating, gas and a laxative effect.
• Emulsifier (E322 Soy Lecithin) (moderate) — Industrial emulsifier; generally safe but a marker of a processed, lab-built formula.
• leavening agents (safe) — Standard raising agents; harmless in these amounts.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
