Fairlife Nutrition 30g Protein Shake Chocolate 11.5 Fluid Ounce (18 Count)
At a glance
Summary
This protein shake is ultra-processed, containing artificial sweeteners like acesulfame potassium and sucralose, which are controversial due to potential health concerns. The presence of carrageenan, a thickening agent linked to digestive issues, further impacts its health profile. Despite beneficial ingredients like filtered lowfat milk and added vitamins, the use of natural flavors and the brand's poor ethical track record contribute to a lower score.
