Again Strawberry, Chocolate, Jaggery Milk Drink — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Again Strawberry, Chocolate, Jaggery Milk Drink by again TREAT — score 45/90.
A jaggery-sweetened flavoured milk drink with real strawberry puree and a short, mostly-clean label, but jaggery is still sugar and two stacked thickeners keep it from being truly wholesome.
Why this verdict
- Jaggery is still added sugar, processed by your body like refined sugar despite the 'natural' framing
- Sweetened flavoured milk is an indulgence, not nutrition
- Two stacked thickeners (gellan gum + carrageenan) signal a processed beverage
- Real strawberry puree and low-fat milk keep the base relatively simple
Ingredients (9)
- Double Toned Milk (safe) — Low-fat dairy base; provides protein and calcium with reduced fat.
- Strawberry Puree (safe) — Real fruit puree (not concentrate); contributes some fibre and micronutrients.
- Jaggery (moderate) — Unrefined cane sugar — slightly more minerals than white sugar, but still added sugar your body treats the same way.
- Cocoa Mass (safe) — The cocoa solids that make it real dark chocolate; source of flavanols and the bitterness behind the 70% claim.
- Acidity Regulator (INS 340(ii) - Dipotassium phosphate) (safe) — Common pH/stability additive, used in small amounts; little health concern.
- gellan gum (safe) — Plant-derived thickener used in tiny amounts; generally well tolerated.
- Carrageenan (concerning) — Seaweed-derived stabilizer linked to intestinal inflammation in animal studies.
- Natural Colour (Beetroot) (safe) — Plant-based colour, a benign choice over synthetic dyes.
- Added Natural Strawberry Flavouring (moderate) — Even 'natural' flavouring is a processing additive that boosts palatability beyond what the fruit alone delivers.
