Ingredients (12)
- Milk Solids (54.8%) (safe) — Genuine milk protein and dairy base, the one real nutritional pillar here.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- PEANUT OIL (moderate) — A refined frying oil — calorie-dense and oxidized at high heat. Also an allergen.
- Maltodextrin (concerning) — A refined-starch filler with a glycemic index higher than table sugar; pure processed carbohydrate with no nutritional upside.
- Caramel (INS150C) (moderate) — Caramel colouring; class III caramel can carry process contaminants, purely cosmetic.
- Minerals (safe) — Added minerals for fortification; beneficial but in trace amounts.
- Beet Red (INS162) (safe) — Natural beet-derived colour, cosmetic but benign.
- vitamins (safe) — Added vitamin blend for the '17 vitamins' claim - beneficial but trace-level fortification.
- Inositol (safe) — Vitamin-like compound included in the nutrient stack, low concern.
- Taurine (moderate) — Synthetically produced amino acid; marketed as functional but EU rejected its energy claims.
- L-CARNITINE (safe) — Amino-acid derivative in the fortification stack, minor.
- Artificial Chocolate Flavouring (moderate) — Lab-made flavour doing the 'chocolate' work instead of actual cocoa.
