It carries a Nutri-Score of D and is placed in NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra-processed status due to added emulsifiers, preservatives and whey protein, while providing 45 g of fat (including 11.3 g saturated) and only 0.4 g of sugars per 100 g. The product supplies modest fiber and a range of added vitamins but also contains 1.1 g of salt and a milk allergen, which may be concerns for some consumers.
