Ingredients
7 listed · 3 flagged · estimated by AI, check the label- Milk (Dairy Base)Beneficial
Provides protein and calcium essential for bone health and muscle function, beneficial in moderation, but a common allergen that can cause digestive distress for lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Sugar (Sweetener)Caution
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.
- Cocoa Powder (Flavoring Agent)Beneficial
Delivers rich chocolate taste along with antioxidant flavonoids that may support heart health and reduce inflammation, providing some beneficial properties.
- Modified Corn Starch (Thickener)
Creates the signature smooth and thick custard consistency as a carbohydrate source; offers little nutritional benefit and digests rapidly with minimal health impact.
- Egg Yolks (Binder/Emulsifier)Caution
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.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor Enhancer)
Boosts the chocolate profile with minimal calories; generally safe with no major nutritional contribution, considered neutral for most consumers.
- Carrageenan (Stabilizer)Caution
Prevents separation to maintain creamy texture; ongoing debates about potential gut irritation and inflammation lead to caution for sensitive digestive systems.
