Cassava Chips, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Sugar, Dehydrated onion powder, Dehydrated garlic powder, Black pepper, Spices and Herbs, Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (soya), Acidity regulator (Citric acid – INS 330, Malic acid – INS 296), Anticaking (Silicon dioxide – INS 551). For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Plant protein (often soya) broken down into amino acids to create a savoury, meaty flavour. Releases free glutamate, so it delivers much the same taste effect as added MSG without being labelled as MSG. Low concern at food-use levels; a declared allergen where soya-derived.

Malic Acid (INS 296)

Fruit-derived acidulant giving a sharp, tart note; naturally present in apples and many other fruits. Well studied, low concern at food-use levels.

Citric Acid (INS 330)

Naturally occurring fruit acid used as an acidulant. Well-studied, low concern; frequent intake from acidic drinks can contribute to dental erosion.

Silicon Dioxide (INS 551)

Common anticaking agent (also known as silica). Considered safe by FDA/EFSA at food-use levels.

Allergy advice: for allergens, see ingredients in bold. No added msg.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Yeast Extract

Yeast cells broken down to release their contents, used as a savoury flavour base. Naturally rich in free glutamate — like hydrolyzed vegetable protein, permitted on packs stating "no added MSG" while working by the same mechanism. Low concern.

Silicon Dioxide (INS 551)

Common anticaking agent (also known as silica). Considered safe by FDA/EFSA at food-use levels.

Citric Acid (INS 330)

Naturally occurring fruit acid used as an acidulant. Well-studied, low concern; frequent intake from acidic drinks can contribute to dental erosion.

Steviol Glycoside (INS 960)

High-intensity sweetener extracted from the stevia leaf, used to cut total sugar in "energy reduced" drinks. Approved by FDA/EFSA/JECFA; low concern at permitted levels.

Curcumin (INS 100)

The natural yellow-orange pigment from turmeric. Low concern, a well-studied natural colour.

Annatto / Norbixin (INS 160b)

Natural orange-red colour extracted from annatto seeds. Low concern; rare reports of allergic-type reactions in sensitive individuals.

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.

Maltodextrin

Highly processed carbohydrate used as a flavour carrier/bulking agent. Not a toxicity concern, but has a high glycemic index and adds to overall carb load.

Contains Milk Ingredients.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) (INS 621)

Flavour enhancer providing umami/savoury taste. Extensively studied and considered safe by major food safety bodies (FDA, EFSA); some people report mild sensitivity, though controlled studies haven't consistently confirmed a causal link.

Allura Red (Red 40) (INS 129)

Synthetic red azo dye, one of the "Southampton Six" colours a UK study linked to increased hyperactivity in some children — requires a warning label in the EU. Labelled as "Red 40" or "FD&C Red No. 40" on some imported products.

Sunset Yellow (INS 110)

Synthetic orange-yellow azo dye, another of the "Southampton Six" colours — same EU hyperactivity warning requirement as tartrazine and Ponceau 4R.

Tartrazine (INS 102)

Synthetic yellow azo dye, also one of the "Southampton Six." Can trigger reactions in aspirin-sensitive individuals, alongside the same EU hyperactivity labelling requirement.

Disodium Inosinate (INS 631)

Flavour enhancer typically used alongside MSG to boost savoury/umami taste. Considered safe at typical food-use levels.

Disodium Guanylate (INS 627)

Flavour enhancer typically used alongside MSG and disodium inosinate to boost savoury taste. Considered safe at typical food-use levels.

Lactic Acid (INS 270)

Common acidulant, naturally occurring in fermented foods. Well-studied, low concern.

Maltodextrin

Highly processed carbohydrate used as a flavour carrier/bulking agent. Not a toxicity concern, but has a high glycemic index and adds to overall carb load.

Citric Acid (INS 330)

Naturally occurring fruit acid used as an acidulant. Well-studied, low concern; frequent intake from acidic drinks can contribute to dental erosion.
