Ingredients worth knowing
Malt Extract (Contains Barley), Milk Solids, Palm Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Soya Lecithin, Iodized Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, Vitamins, Magnesium Phosphate, Colour Caramel (INS 150a), Ferric Pyrophosphate
Malt Extract (Barley)
Natural flavouring/sweetening ingredient. Contains gluten — relevant for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Calcium Carbonate
Common calcium fortification mineral. Low concern, essentially a nutrient source.
Soya Lecithin
Common emulsifier from soybeans. Low concern except for those with soy allergy.
Sodium Bicarbonate (INS 500ii)
Common buffering/raising agent (baking soda). Low concern, negligible sodium contribution.
Magnesium Phosphate
Mineral fortificant supplying magnesium and phosphorus. Low concern, essentially a nutrient source.
Caramel Colour I (INS 150a)
"Plain" caramel colour made without ammonia or sulphites — the lowest-concern of the four caramel colour classes; no 4-MEI flag (unlike Class IV / INS 150d).
Ferric Pyrophosphate
Iron fortification compound. Low concern, though its iron bioavailability is somewhat lower than other iron forms.
