Product Insights
Classic Malt by Horlicks is a malt‑based powdered beverage designed for reconstitution with water or milk, sold primarily in India. It falls under the "Beverages" and "Sweetened beverages" PNNS groups, carries a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed classification and has no assigned Nutri‑Score, offering 56.5 kcal per 15 g serving with low fat and salt but a very high sugar content of 46 g per 100 g. Although it supplies notable protein (11 g per 100 g) and calcium, the elevated added sugars and the presence of milk, wheat and soy allergens limit its suitability for low‑sugar, gluten‑free, or dairy‑free diets.
