Weikfield Green Chilli Sauce — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Weikfield Green Chilli Sauce by WeiKFiELD DUMP — score 20/90.
A thin chilli condiment padded with water and potato, sweetened with added sugar, and held together by a synthetic preservative plus a gum stabilizer. NOVA group 4 processed food.
Why this verdict
- Synthetic preservative sodium benzoate (INS 211) keeps it shelf-stable
- Added sugar is high on the list, ahead of most of the actual chilli aromatics
- Bulked out with water and potato filler, not chilli (chilli is only 25%)
- Stacked stabilizer + acidity regulator + cornflour = engineered, NOVA-4 formulation
- Salt added on top of the sugar
Ingredients (12)
- Water (safe) — Inert; just adjusts texture.
- potatoes (safe) — Whole-food starch and the traditional body of chowder.
- Green chilli (25%) (safe) — The real star ingredient, but only a quarter of the jar.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
- Fresh Coriander (safe) — Real herb adding genuine flavor.
- Acidity Regulator (INS 260, Acetic Acid) (safe) — Vinegar acid for tang and shelf stability; harmless.
- GARLIC (safe) — Whole aromatic; flavor and beneficial plant compounds.
- Cornflour (moderate) — Refined starch used to thicken; minor processing, low nutritional value.
- Stabilizer (INS 415, Xanthan Gum) (moderate) — Industrial texture additive. Generally tolerated but a marker of a processed formula.
- Preservative (INS 211, Sodium Benzoate) (moderate) — Class II preservative. In acidic drinks it can form trace benzene, and it is linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children when combined with azo dyes.
- Spices & Condiments (safe) — Generic spice blend, neutral.
