Ingredients (11)

• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• Sucrose (5.63%) (concerning) — Added table sugar; the main solid ingredient. Spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
• Reconstituted Orange Juice (10.5%, from concentrate) (moderate) — Juice rebuilt from concentrate; carries some vitamin C but also more free sugar than whole fruit.
• Glucose (1.64%) (concerning) — A second fast-absorbing added sugar; two sugar sources compound the glycemic load.
• Acidity Regulators (INS 330 citric, 331(i) sodium citrate, 339(i) sodium phosphate) (safe) — Common acidity/pH regulators; generally safe in these amounts.
• Nature Identical & Natural Orange Flavouring (moderate) — Lab-made 'nature identical' flavor plus natural flavor; harmless but signals engineered taste, not real fruit.
• sodium chloride (safe) — Electrolyte (sodium); useful for rehydration during heavy sweating.
• POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (safe) — A salt substitute used to trim sodium; fine for most.
• Magnesium Sulphate (safe) — Electrolyte (magnesium) source.
• calcium lactate (safe) — A calcium fortificant, well tolerated.
• Colour (INS 110, Sunset Yellow FCF) (harmful) — Synthetic azo dye; linked to hyperactivity in children (Southampton study) and banned or warning-labeled in some regions. Purely cosmetic.
