Why does Proteino have a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients lower its rating?

The D rating is driven mainly by the very high sugar level (29 g per 100 g) and a moderate amount of fat (6.7 g), which generate many negative points, while the positive points from fiber (8.4 g) and protein are insufficient to offset them.

How does the high sugar content in Proteino affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 29 g of sugar per 100 g, the cereal can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, and although its salt is low, the overall sweet load can contribute to weight gain, which may indirectly raise blood pressure.

Is Proteino suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

Proteino is vegan because it contains no animal‑derived ingredients, but it is not gluten‑free; wheat flour (27 % oat flour and 5 % wheat) provides gluten, so it should be avoided by those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
