Horlicks
Product Insights
Horlicks is a powdered instant beverage marketed in India, made by Hindustan Unilever, positioned as a protein‑enriched sweetened drink. It falls into the protein beverage family, carries a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed classification and lacks an official Nutri‑Score, while its nutrition shows high sugar (46 g per 100 g) and salt (≈1 g per 100 g) levels, moderate fat (2 g) and a notable protein content (11 g). The formulation includes milk, wheat, barley and soy, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free or low‑carb diets, and the presence of several acidity regulators (E500, E500ii, E501, E501ii) contributes to its processed profile.
