What’s actually in it

first on the label · Milk solids 31% (casein 9%), whey protein concentrate 22%, soy protein isolate 5%, cereal extract, sunflower-oil fat powder (INS 471), colours 150c+150d, full list read.

⚠emulsifiersINS 433/471-type emulsifiers keep the powder from clumping; early research links heavy daily intake to gut-lining irritation.
⚠artificial colourSynthetic colours (INS numbers). Pure decoration, the body gains nothing, the label gains a glow.
⚠refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.

The fine print

Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
FSSAI: 34 g/100 g · 8.7 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route.
