Sahara Barn Maltina Classic Can 33cl vs Wheat Flavoured Milk Drink - Viju - Viju

• Barley Malt (Grain/Base) — Provides natural enzymes, B-vitamins, and amino acids from the malting process for energy and digestion support; however, contains gluten which can cause digestive distress, inflammation, or nutrient absorption issues for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
• Sucrose (Sweetener) — Delivers the signature sweet taste and quick energy boost but as a refined sugar carries high glycemic load, potentially leading to blood sugar fluctuations, increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay with frequent or excessive intake.
• Caramel (Coloring Agent) — Imparts the attractive dark brown color with minimal nutritional contribution; generally safe in beverage quantities but some caramel variants may contain 4-MEI linked to potential carcinogenic risks in animal studies if consumed in very large amounts over time.

• 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.
