What’s actually in it

first on the label · Slow-release maltodextrin, calcium caseinate, vegetable oils (high-oleic sunflower + soy), fructose, FOS 4.1%, sucralose, full list read.

refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.
artificial flavour'Artificial flavouring substances' on the label. Not dangerous at these doses, just a sign the food needs a costume.

The fine print

Sucralose: Zero-calorie artificial sweetener. Regulators rate it safe at normal intake; a 2023 lab study flagged a trace impurity (sucralose-6-acetate) as genotoxic in cells. Doses there were far above what a scoop delivers.
Maltodextrin: A starch that legally isn’t ‘sugar’, so it never shows in the sugar line, yet has a glycemic index of 85–105, higher than table sugar. The classic ‘sugar-free’ loophole.
FSSAI: 16 g/100 g · 3.7 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
