Whole Kernel Sweet Corn — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Whole Kernel Sweet Corn by Signature SELECT MUNCH — score 88/90.

Real corn kernels packed in water with a little sugar and salt. It is fundamentally a vegetable, and the short real-food list keeps it in good standing. The small amount of added sugar and the canning process are the only reasons it is not a perfect whole-food score.

Why this verdict

• Corn is the first and dominant ingredient
• Short, recognizable four-item list
• No additives, colors or preservatives
• Minor added sugar and salt plus canning (NOVA 3) keep it just below whole-food
