What’s actually in it
first on the label · Maltodextrin, whey protein concentrate, skimmed milk powder, cocoa, xanthan (INS 415), stabilisers (INS 412, 466), sucralose, natural colours (carotene 160a, beetroot 162), full list read.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
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.
FSSAI: 22 g/100 g · 5.8 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route.
