What’s actually in it
first on the label · Skimmed milk powder, sugar, high-oleic sunflower oil, maltodextrin, isomaltulose, full list read.
⚠refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.
⚠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: 20 g/100 g · 4.5 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g route.
