Our take
CleanPlate reviewMilk with 25 g of protein and almost no fat
Country Delight 25 g High Protein Vanilla Milk is retort-treated skimmed milk (99.7%) with natural vanilla flavour (0.2%) and a trace of monk fruit extract (0.002%). One 250 ml pack gives 25 g of protein.
CleanPlate scores it [L]BA1. The B for nutrition reflects 10 g protein and natural calcium per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by heat treated skimmed milk), with additives that cost points: monk fruit extract. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: vanilla is named on the pack, but the list has only a natural vanilla flavour (0.2%), not vanilla itself. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 88 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.4 g per 100 ml).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- Product nameMisleading
“25 g High Protein Vanilla Milk”
The list has natural vanilla flavour (0.2%) but not vanilla itself, so the vanilla in the name is a flavouring, not an ingredient.
- Product nameHolds
“25 g High Protein”
10 g per 100 ml gives 25 g in the 250 ml pack, well above the FSSAI high-protein line.
- Retail listingHolds
“No added sugar”
Added sugar is 0 g; the 3.5 g of sugar is lactose from the milk.
