What’s actually in it
first on the label · Malt extract (57%), sugar, milk solids, maltodextrin, cocoa powder, full list read.
⚠artificial colourSynthetic colours (INS numbers). Pure decoration, the body gains nothing, the label gains a glow.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
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: 8 g/100 g · 2 g/100 kcal, may legally print “SOURCE ONLY” via the per-100 g route.
