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 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
