Pea protein isolate

Mild allergen potential, possible gastrointestinal discomfort at high intake, processing may involve anti-nutritional factors reduction

Flavouring

Potential allergens or irritants, presence of artificial or synthetic compounds, lack of transparency in composition

Natural Flavouring

Lack of transparency, potential for allergenicity, may contain trace solvents or contaminants, ultra-processed nature

Sweetener

Lack of transparency, potential for ultra-processed artificial sweeteners, possible gut microbiome disruption, may cause metabolic effects depending on sweetener type

Colour

Potential allergic reactions, hyperactivity in children (certain synthetic dyes), some synthetic colors linked to carcinogenicity concerns

Acidity Regulator

Potential gastrointestinal irritation with excessive consumption, may affect mineral absorption (phosphoric acid), possible contribution to dental erosion if consumed in excess

Thickener

Sodium Chloride

Increases viscosity, improves product stability, non-toxic, widely available and biodegradable
