Ingredients worth knowing
Malt Extract (34%) (contains Barley), Sugar, Milk Solids (21%), Cocoa Powder (9%), Palm Oil, Minerals (Dicalcium Phosphate, Ferric Pyrophosphate), Vitamins (C, D3, B2, B3, B6, B12), Disodium Phosphate (INS 339ii), Sodium Carbonate (INS 500i)
Malt Extract (Barley)
Natural flavouring/sweetening ingredient. Contains gluten — relevant for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Dicalcium Phosphate (INS 341ii)
Calcium fortification salt, also used as an anticaking agent. Low concern, essentially a nutrient source.
Ferric Pyrophosphate
Iron fortification compound. Low concern, though its iron bioavailability is somewhat lower than other iron forms.
Disodium Phosphate (INS 339ii)
Emulsifying salt/acidity regulator common in dairy and processed foods. Low concern at typical levels; contributes to overall phosphate and sodium intake.
Sodium Carbonate (INS 500i)
Alkalising agent/acidity regulator. Low concern at food-use levels.
