What’s actually in it

first on the label · Skim milk powder, sucrose, vegetable oils (soy, high-oleic sunflower), maltodextrin, cocoa (3.2%), 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.
artificial colourSynthetic colours (INS numbers). Pure decoration, the body gains nothing, the label gains a glow.
probioticsLive cultures included, genuinely useful, especially in dahi-style products.

The fine print

Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
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: 14 g/100 g · 3.1 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
