Raw Milk, Skimmed Milk, Whey Liquid, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Permitted Food Emulsifiers & Stabilizers (Sodium Alginate – INS 401, Carrageenan – INS 407, Guar Gum – INS 412, Mono and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids – INS 471), Artificial Chocolate Flavor, Trisodium Phosphate – INS 339(iii), Trisodium Citrate – INS 331(iii)

Sodium Alginate (INS 401)
Seaweed-derived thickener/stabiliser. Well-studied, low concern at food-use levels.
Trisodium Phosphate (INS 339iii)
Emulsifying salt/acidity regulator, same phosphate family as disodium phosphate. Low concern at typical levels, contributes to overall phosphate intake.
Carrageenan (INS 407)
Seaweed-derived thickener. FDA/JECFA approved, but some researchers and consumer groups (CSPI) flag possible gut inflammation, especially degraded forms.
Guar Gum (INS 412)
Plant-derived thickener. Well-studied, low concern at food-use levels.
Mono- & Diglycerides of Fatty Acids (INS 471)
Common emulsifier, generally recognised as safe. Can occasionally derive from partially hydrogenated oils — worth checking if trans-fat sensitive.
Tri-Sodium Citrate (INS 331iii)
Same citrate-salt family as sodium citrate; buffering agent. Low concern, minor sodium contributor.
