Wegmans Roasted Garlic Hummus, 32 oz — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Roasted Garlic Hummus, 32 oz by Wegmans MUNCH — score 90/90.

Hummus the way you'd make it at home: chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon. One mild acidulant is the only concession to the supermarket shelf. High fiber, real plant protein, honest label.

Why this verdict

• Ten ingredients, nine of them kitchen-recognizable whole foods
• Uses olive oil where many national hummus brands lean on cheaper soybean or canola oil
• High fiber (~7g/100g) and solid plant protein from chickpeas and tahini — Nutri-Score A
• Citric acid is the lone additive: a mild, well-understood acidulant, not a red flag

Ingredients (8)

• Chickpeas (safe) — The base — fiber, plant protein, slow carbs.
• Tahini (sesame seed paste) (safe) — Ground sesame — healthy unsaturated fat and the classic hummus flavor. Note: sesame is a major allergen.
• olive oil (safe) — A quality fat rarely seen in mass-market jarred sauce.
• garlic / roasted garlic (safe) — Actual garlic twice over, not 'garlic flavor'.
• lemon juice (safe) — Real squeezed juice providing the flavor in the Lemon cans.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — It's a salted chip; sodium is the point and the problem.
• citric acid (safe) — Benign acidity regulator paired with the TBHQ.
• CAYENNE (safe) — A spice, doing spice things.
