What’s actually in it
first on the label · Maltodextrin, protein blend (whey concentrate, milk protein isolate, whey isolate, hydrolysate, micellar casein), sunflower creamer, cocoa, gum blend (cellulose, xanthan, carrageenan), full list read.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
⚠artificial flavour'Artificial flavouring substances' on the label. Not dangerous at these doses, just a sign the food needs a costume.
⚠refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.
The fine print
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.
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.
Acesulfame-K: Zero-calorie artificial sweetener, usually paired with sucralose to round off the aftertaste.
FSSAI: 16 g/100 g · 4.1 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
