Checkers Africa Limited Chocolate Custard vs Wheat Flavoured Milk Drink - Viju - Viju

• Sugar (Sweetener) — Offers sweetness but as added sugar contributes to high glycemic load, raising risks for blood sugar spikes, weight gain, tooth decay and diabetes with frequent intake.
• Egg Yolks (Binder/Emulsifier) — Adds richness, protein and nutrients like choline for brain health but high in cholesterol and a common allergen, posing risks for those with sensitivities or heart conditions.
• Carrageenan (Stabilizer) — Prevents separation to maintain creamy texture; ongoing debates about potential gut irritation and inflammation lead to caution for sensitive digestive systems.

• Sugar (Added Sweetener) — Contributes to pleasant taste but increases glycemic load leading to potential blood sugar fluctuations, weight gain, and higher risk of metabolic issues with frequent use.
• Malt extract (Flavor/Sweetener) — Offers some minerals and malty flavor from sprouted barley; adds to total sugars and may pose gluten-related risks for intolerant consumers.
• Wheat milk flavour (Flavoring Agent) — Creates the distinctive wheat-milk profile; provides no nutrients and may include synthetic compounds or traces that trigger allergies or sensitivities.
• Acesulfame-K (Artificial Sweetener) — Delivers intense sweetness with zero calories to partially replace sugar; subject to safety debates over potential long-term metabolic effects despite regulatory approval.
