Bournvita Zero Added Sugar Nutrition Drink Mix

Bournvita Zero Added Sugar is a 500 g drink mix of cereal extract (73%: barley, wheat, millets), soluble corn fibre, cocoa solids, caramel colour, minerals, emulsifiers, a raising agent, vitamins, milk solids, flavours and iodised salt. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [F][L]BB2. The B for nutrition reflects 14 g fibre per 100 g; its 7 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The [F] marks that added calcium, iron, vitamin A and vitamin C lift the grade; without them it would be C. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by barley, wheat and millets), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, flavouring and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "zero added sugar" does not hold: a free-sugar ingredient is listed: cereal extract. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest as made (sodium 62.2 mg, free sugar 1.74 g, saturated fat 1.9 g per 100 g).

Cereal extract 73% (barley, wheat, millets), soluble fibre (corn), cocoa solids, colour (caramel, 150c), minerals, emulsifiers (322, 471), raising agent (500(ii)), vitamins, milk solids, flavours (natural, nature-identical and artificial vanilla) and iodised salt.

Per 100 g: 360 kcal, 1.8 g fat of which 0.9 g saturated, 22 g sugar of which 0 g added, 14 g fibre, 7 g protein, 250 mg sodium. Fibre is 14 g per 100 g, much of it added soluble corn fibre. Scored as made: a 20 g serve in 200 ml toned milk (the pack says add to milk but gives no ml), so the score is provisional (ASMADE_DEFAULT). Atwater energy without fibre is 388 kcal against the declared 360 kcal.
