Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar
Published · Last updated
A realistic serve of Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar (1 bar, 40 g) has 196 kcal, 10 g protein, 16.4 g carbohydrate, 10 g fat, 0 g added sugar and 52 mg sodium. Per 100 g it has 490 kcal, 25 g protein, 41 g carbohydrate, 25 g fat, 15 g saturated fat, 0 g added sugar, 4 g fibre and 130 mg sodium.
Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar is a savoury whey protein wafer sold as a crunchy snack, but cheese is a small part of it and the name leans on a flavouring. It scores [L]AC4: nutrition is strong on protein and calcium, ingredients lose points for hydrogenated fat, maltitol and flavouring, and risk is high because of saturated fat. Best as an occasional snack.

Why Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar scores [L]AC4
Nutrition is an A on 25 g protein and 293 mg calcium per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of hydrogenated fat, maltitol, flavouring and the cheese gap, and risk is a 4 on 15 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Exceptional nutrient density
- Protein
- 25 g
- Fibre
- 4 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 490 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why A
Protein is 25 g per 100 g, mostly from whey protein isolate, so one 40 g bar has 10 g. Calcium is 293 mg per 100 g, 117 mg per bar, and fibre is 4 g per 100 g.
Protein and calcium together lift nutrition to the top grade. Sugar is 0 g, so nothing offsets that.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The list leads with a whey protein blend, then hydrogenated vegetable fat, refined wheat flour, maltitol and maize starch. Cheese powder, milk solids and milk fat follow.
Hydrogenated vegetable fat has no partly or fully qualifier on the label, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil, which costs ingredient points, even though trans fat is declared as 0 g. Maltitol, PGPR (476), lecithin (322) and the nature-identical flavouring cost further points.
The label also loses points for the cheese promise: a cheese flavouring is listed and the real cheese is not among the top three ingredients. That sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 130 mg
- Saturated fat
- 15 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat drives the risk number: 15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line, and 6 g in one bar. Energy at 490 kcal per 100 g, 196 kcal per bar, adds to it.
Sodium is low at 130 mg per 100 g, 52 mg per bar. Added sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part. The sweetness comes from maltitol, which counts as calories but not as sugar.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar live up to its claims?
The 10 g protein claim holds, but Made from Go Cheese does not. Cheese powder is sixth in the list, and a cheese flavouring is added on top.
- On the packMisleading
“Made from Go Cheese”
Cheese powder is listed sixth, behind the protein blend, hydrogenated fat, flour, maltitol and starch. A nature-identical cheese flavouring is added, and no cheese percentage is given.
- Product namePartly true
“Cheese Protein Wafer Bar”
Cheese powder is a real ingredient but a small one, and the cheese taste is helped by added flavouring.
- On the packHolds
“10g Protein”
25 g per 100 g, so 10 g in a 40 g bar, mostly from whey protein isolate.
What's in Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar?
A whey protein blend, hydrogenated vegetable fat, flour and maltitol lead the list. The fat and the sweetener are what to watch.
14 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Whey protein isolate and concentrate come first, then hydrogenated vegetable fat, refined wheat flour, maltitol and maize starch, so the bar is a protein-and-fat wafer on a flour base. Cheese powder, milk solids and milk fat give the dairy taste. Lecithin and PGPR are emulsifiers, sodium carbonate is the raising agent, and nature-identical cheese and vanilla flavouring finishes the list.
What the additives do
Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) (low concern): cheap, soft base flour. Refined wheat flour with the bran and germ removed. Low in fibre and quick to digest. More on Refined Wheat Flour (Maida).
Not in our additive research yet: INS 322; INS 476.
Ingredients to watch
- Hydrogenated vegetable fat (type not stated)Concern
No partly or fully qualifier is given, so it is scored as a partially hydrogenated oil and costs ingredient points. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
- Saturated fatConcern
15 g per 100 g, three times the 5 g high line. One bar has 6 g.
- MaltitolWorth watching
A sugar alcohol that still counts as calories. The pack warns that polyols may have laxative effects.
- Flavouring and PGPRWorth watching
The nature-identical cheese and vanilla flavouring and the emulsifier PGPR (476) both cost ingredient points.
- Protein and calciumFine
25 g protein and 293 mg calcium per 100 g, so 10 g and 117 mg per bar.
What it doesn’t have
- No percentage is declared for cheese powder or any other ingredient.
- No vitamins are declared, only calcium.
What to know about Avvatar Cheese Protein Wafer Bar
A cheese wafer bar where cheese is a minor part
A 40 g wafer bar built on a whey protein blend (isolate and concentrate), hydrogenated vegetable fat, refined wheat flour, maltitol and maize starch, with cheese powder, milk solids and milk fat further down. It is sold as a crunchy, savoury-style protein snack for people who want protein without a sweet bar. No ingredient percentages are declared.
What you get is real: 10 g protein, about 2 g fibre and 117 mg calcium in a 196 kcal bar, with 0 g sugar. What it costs is on the fat side. Saturated fat is 15 g per 100 g, so 6 g in one bar, and the sweetness comes from maltitol, a sugar alcohol that the pack itself warns can have a laxative effect.
The front says Made from Go Cheese, yet cheese powder comes sixth in the list and the label also adds a nature-identical cheese and vanilla flavouring. That gap sets the [L] flag. The protein promise holds. CleanPlate scores it [L]AC4.
