Summary
This product contains maltodextrin, a highly processed carbohydrate with a high glycemic index, which can lead to rapid blood sugar spikes. While it uses stevia as a natural sweetener, the presence of maltodextrin as a filler reduces its overall healthfulness. The product is ultra-processed, which further impacts its rating, despite the absence of artificial sweeteners or dyes.
