The foodnetindia rating for this product:-
foodnetindia safety rating : 4- (On a scale of 1 to 10 from very unsafe to very safe)
We are concerned about the high level of added sugar in this product, as consuming it daily could lead to obesity and diabetes. Just two servings can exceed the daily recommended limit, and therefore it is advisable to consume it infrequently, and only in small quantities, even by healthy people.
foodnetindia wholesomeness rating : 4 – (On a scale of 1 to 10 from very unbalanced nutrition profile to excellent nutrition profile)
We like the fact that this product contains healthy and nutritional milk and also vitamins and minerals, but we don’t like the fact that there is high amount of added sugar in the product. High sugar consumption is unhealthy and unsafe.
Ingredients in Britannia Daily Fresh Mango Flavoured Yoghurt which are a concern
- Sugar
- IN 202
- Added Colours: IN 102, IN 110
- Added Flavours (Nature Identical Flavouring substances)
Sugar
Britannia Daily Fresh Mango Flavoured Yoghurt contains 13 gm sugar per 100 gm. This food product does not specify which sugar has been used. This is important because different sugars have different metabolic effects. For example, Sucrose (Cane Sugar) is very different from Fructose (Fruit Sugar). Some foods use high fructose corn syrup which may be harmful in much lower quantities than sucrose. We believe that it is not responsible behaviour for a brand to not clearly state what ingredients have been used.
Added Colour
Tartrazine- IN 102
It is a synthetic azo dye and is a yellow food colour. Very soluble in water.
Tartrazine is an azo dye. No side effects are known for pure tartrazine, except in people who are intolerant to salicylates (aspirin, berries, fruits); in that case tartrazine also induces intolerance symptoms.
In combination with benzoates (E210-215), tartrazine is implicated in cases of ADHD syndrome (hyperactivity) in children. Asthmatics may also experience symptoms following consumption of tartrazine, as it is a known histamine-liberating agent.
Sunset Yellow- IN 110
It is a synthetic azo dye and is a yellow food colour. Very soluble in water.
Since it is an azo dye, it may elicit intolerance in people intolerant to salicylates. Additionally, it is a histamine liberator, and may intensify symptoms of asthma. In combination with benzoates, it is also implicated in hyperactivity in children.
Added Flavour (Nature Identical Flavouring Substances
This food product does not specify which flavours or flavouring substances have been used. The flavours should be specified as some of them have serious side effects and may not be suitable for infants, pregnant women or people who are allergic. We believe that it is not responsible behaviour for a brand to avoid clearly stating what ingredients have been used.
By not specifying what these flavours and substances are, we are forced to consider what they are hiding and why would they be so reluctant to mention what they have used in the food product!
By this behaviour, these manufacturers expose people to possible allergens or toxins that could be avoided if consumers knew what they were.
