This is sugar water with a splash of mango. Water and sugar lead the list, real mango pulp is only 5.1%, and it's propped up with an artificial colour, nature-identical flavours and a stevia sweetener.

Why this verdict

Sugar is the #2 ingredient right after water, ahead of any mango
Real mango pulp is only 5.1% concentrated (~10.2% reconstituted)
Contains Sunset Yellow (110), an artificial colour linked to hyperactivity concerns
Stacks an added stevia sweetener (960a) on top of all that sugar
Synthetic 'nature-identical' flavours plus two stabilizers and a preservative

Ingredients (9)

Water (safe) — First ingredient by weight; this pudding is mostly water, not milk.
Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
Concentrated Mango Pulp (5.1%) (safe) — The only real food benefit, but at ~5% it contributes flavour and a little vitamin, not real nutrition.
Acidity Regulator (330) / Citric acid (safe) — Common, safe acidulant for tartness; mildly erosive to tooth enamel in sugary drinks.
Nature-Identical & Natural Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-made flavours engineered to taste like more mango than is actually in the bottle.
Stabilizers (466 Carboxymethylcellulose, 440 Pectin) (moderate) — Industrial thickeners used to fake the body of real fruit juice.
Sweetener (960a / Steviol Glycosides) (moderate) — An added non-sugar sweetener stacked on top of the sugar to push sweetness even higher.
Preservative (202) — Potassium sorbate (moderate) — Standard shelf-life preservative; safe in small amounts but a marker of a processed product.
Colour (110 / Sunset Yellow FCF) (concerning) — Artificial azo dye used to make it look mango-orange; flagged in studies for hyperactivity in children.
