What’s actually in it
first on the label · Milk solids 34.2% (SMP, WPC 9.3%, casein), sugar, maltodextrin, peanut oil, FOS, full list read.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
✓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: 18 g/100 g · 4.2 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
