Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This adult protein supplement is generally well-formulated, focusing on milk solids as its primary ingredient and using alternative sweeteners like Maltitol and Steviol Glycosides. The main considerations are the presence of phosphates, which warrant caution for individuals with kidney conditions, and Carrageenan, which has been linked to gut inflammation in some studies. While the flavouring substances are not individually itemized, this is a common practice in the industry. Overall, it's a suitable option for most adults seeking a protein supplement, provided they are not sensitive to the listed additives.

What’s favorable
- Milk Solids
Adult protein supplement with alternative sweeteners and common food additives
This adult protein supplement is primarily made from milk solids and uses alternative sweeteners like Maltitol and Steviol Glycosides. It contains phosphates, which individuals with kidney conditions should be cautious about, and Carrageenan, a thickener linked to gut inflammation in some research. The flavouring substances are listed as blends, which is typical for such products.

Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
Carrageenan (E407)
Carrageenan is a seaweed-derived thickener and emulsifier widely used in dairy alternatives and processed foods. Animal and cell studies suggest it may promote intestinal inflammation, though regulatory agencies still permit it. People with inflammatory bowel conditions may wish to avoid it.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: Bhattacharyya et al. 2008; IARC; Consumer Reports
Carrageenan: regulation, sources and other products →Dipotassium Phosphate (E340)
Used as an emulsifier and stabiliser. Adds both phosphate and potassium load, which patients with kidney disease or hyperkalaemia need to monitor closely.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 340
Dipotassium Phosphate: regulation, sources and other products →Sugar Alcohols (Polyols)
Polyols are bulk sweeteners and humectants (also used in toothpaste). They are only partly absorbed, so large amounts can cause gas, bloating and a laxative effect, and EU rules require foods containing them to say "excessive consumption may produce laxative effects". Xylitol is toxic to dogs.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: EU Regulation 1169/2011 Annex III (polyol labelling statement); EU Regulation 1333/2008
Sugar Alcohols (Polyols): regulation, sources and other products →Flavouring Substances
Indian rules classify added flavours as natural, nature-identical (chemically synthesised copies of natural compounds) or artificial, and require the class to be declared. The label names the class, not the compounds, so a reader cannot see which substances make up the blend, or whether it carries something they avoid. This is information about transparency, not a finding of harm.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSS (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations 2011, flavours; FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020
Flavouring Substances: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains multiple phosphate additives (Potassium Phosphates, Polyphosphates, Sodium Hydrogen Phosphates). Individuals with kidney disease should exercise caution as excessive phosphate intake can be detrimental.
Contains Carrageenan, a thickener that some studies have linked to gut inflammation. Individuals with sensitive digestive systems may wish to avoid.
Contains Maltitol, a sugar alcohol. Excessive consumption of sugar alcohols can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating and a laxative effect.
The product uses 'Nature Identical Flavour' and 'Natural Flavours & Flavouring Substances'. While common, the specific compounds within these blends are not disclosed, which may be a concern for individuals with specific flavour sensitivities.
Combined Effects interactions
Cumulative phosphate load, which can be a concern for individuals with impaired kidney function.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The label states 10.4g of protein per 100g, and the serving size is 250ml, which would be 26g of protein per serving. However, the density of the product is not provided, so the conversion from ml to grams for the serving size cannot be accurately made to verify the 26g protein c
The label declares 0 g added sugar; the 5.4 g of sugar shown is naturally occurring from milk. The "no added sugar" claim is supported by the label.
Coffee Powder (0.4%) is listed in the ingredients.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
Listed twice: an ingredient appears more than once in the same part of the list. This may indicate two separate ingredient blends in the formulation, or a duplication in how the label was recorded.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
