first on the label · Protein blend 31.5% (soy nuggets, soy isolate, whey concentrate), maltitol dark compound with hydrogenated vegetable fat, almonds 12.5%, liquid glucose, refined sunflower oil, full list read.
⚠hydrogenated fatHydrogenated/partially-hydrogenated oils, the closest thing nutrition science has to a unanimous villain.
⚠emulsifiersINS 433/471-type emulsifiers keep the powder from clumping; early research links heavy daily intake to gut-lining irritation.
⚠refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.
⚠artificial flavour'Artificial flavouring substances' on the label. Not dangerous at these doses, just a sign the food needs a costume.
The fine print
Sugar: Plain added sugar, the honest villain. Counted by the gram in the Clean score.
Maltitol: A sugar alcohol used to make ‘no added sugar’ bars. Still raises blood sugar (GI ~35), and past ~20–30 g it’s a reliable laxative. Sugar-free, side-effects-included.
FSSAI: 31 g/100 g · 8.1 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route.
