Nurri Ultra-Filtered Milk Shake, Chocolate — BULLSHIT
Munch or Dump rates Nurri Ultra-Filtered Milk Shake, Chocolate by Nurri BULLSHIT — score 0/90.
Marketed as 'no unnecessary sweeteners, just pure clean taste' while packing three sweeteners including two artificial ones.
Why this verdict
- 'Pure, clean taste, no unnecessary sweeteners' claim vs. sucralose + acesulfame potassium + monk fruit on the label
- Three stacked sweeteners, two of them artificial, to fake the '1g sugar' number
- Alkali-processed (Dutched) cocoa strips much of the natural flavonoids
- Reads wholesome up top, then quietly artificial at the bottom of the list
Ingredients (12)
- Ultra Filtered Skim Milk (safe) — Concentrated real dairy protein and calcium; the legitimate backbone of the drink.
- cream (safe) — Real dairy fat for mouthfeel; whole-food ingredient.
- cocoa processed with alkali (moderate) — Dutching mellows flavor but destroys much of the beneficial cocoa flavanols.
- POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE (moderate) — Stabilizer/buffer; fine in small amounts but a processing additive, not nutrition.
- Natural flavor (moderate) — Undefined proprietary flavoring; signals engineered taste over real ingredients.
- Lactase enzyme (safe) — Breaks down lactose so the drink is tolerable for lactose-intolerant people.
- Pectin (safe) — Fruit-derived thickener; benign texturizer.
- Sucralose (moderate) — Artificial high-intensity sweetener; may disrupt gut bacteria and keeps sweet cravings wired.
- Acesulfame Potassium (moderate) — Second artificial sweetener; often stacked with sucralose to mask each other's aftertaste.
- Monk fruit extract (safe) — Plant-based non-nutritive sweetener; the least objectionable of the three, but its presence contradicts 'no unnecessary sweeteners.'
- Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Added vitamin A; standard fortification.
- vitamin D3 (safe) — Added vitamin D; standard dairy fortification.
