What to know about Avolt Birthday Cake Protein Wafer Bar
15 g of whey protein, with BHA and flavouring
A 50 g soft-chew wafer bar built on a whey protein blend (concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate), peanut paste, fructooligosaccharides, white chocolate compound, wafer, rice crispies and a multigrain mix of rice, chickpea, maize, finger millet and Bengal gram. It is sold as an on-the-go protein snack for people who want protein without a meal. The pack gives no percentages for any ingredient.
What you get is real: 15 g protein in a 235 kcal bar, with 2.5 g total sugar, no added sugar and 1 g fibre. What it costs is energy and fat. Per 100 g the bar has 470.6 kcal and 24.2 g fat, of which 3.38 g is saturated, and 348 mg sodium, so one bar has 174 mg.
The name promises a birthday cake, and what delivers it is a nature-identical flavouring substance, which the list states openly. The list also carries BHA and potassium sorbate as preservatives. CleanPlate scores it CC3.
Why Avolt Birthday Cake Protein Wafer Bar scores CC3
Nutrition is a C on 30 g protein per 100 g with little fibre and no declared vitamins. Ingredients are a C because of BHA and flavouring, and risk is a 3, driven mostly by energy and sodium.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 30 g
- Fibre
- 2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 471 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 30 g per 100 g, about a quarter of the calories, and the largest source is whey protein concentrate, a dairy protein. In one 50 g bar that is 15 g protein. Fibre is 2 g per 100 g, and it comes from isolated fructooligosaccharides.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

- BHA
02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The list leads with a three-part whey blend and peanut paste, which is a short and recognisable start. Fibre, white chocolate compound, wafer, rice crispies and multigrains follow, with no percentages declared.
BHA costs the most ingredient points, and nature-identical flavouring costs a smaller amount. Potassium sorbate is listed too. The label makes no hollow promise, so nothing is lost on label integrity.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 348 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.4 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Energy is the biggest driver: 470.6 kcal per 100 g, 235 per bar. Sodium follows at 348 mg per 100 g, 174 mg per bar.
Saturated fat is 3.38 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and added sugar is 0 g, so neither adds much.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
