Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its very high content of added sugar (16g per serving, 32% of FSSAI's recommended daily allowance) and high saturated fat (5.6g per serving, 25% of RDA). The presence of artificial colours (INS 110, INS 102) and stabilizer (INS 407) further lowers its health score. While it provides a moderate amount of protein and is a good source of calcium, these benefits are overshadowed by the high sugar and fat levels, making it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Quick Badam Kheer
Gently heat the Amul Badam Shakers in a pan. Add a tablespoon of pre-soaked sabja (basil seeds) and a handful of roasted vermicelli. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vermicelli is soft. Garnish with extra slivered almonds and a pinch of saffron.
Health Benefits
Adds fiber from sabja seeds and complex carbs from vermicelli, making the drink more satiating and slowing sugar absorption.
Almond-Kesar Iced Coffee
Brew a shot of strong espresso or mix 2 tsp of instant coffee in a little hot water and let it cool. In a tall glass, add ice cubes and the cooled coffee shot. Top it up with chilled Amul Badam Shakers and stir well before serving.
Health Benefits
Creates a flavourful iced coffee without needing extra sugar or syrups, while getting a small protein and calcium boost.
Additive Analysis
The product contains artificial colours INS 110 (Sunset Yellow FCF) and INS 102 (Tartrazine). Both are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits, but Tartrazine can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. The stabilizer INS 407 (Carrageenan) is also FSSAI-approved but has been a subject of debate regarding potential inflammatory effects. The additives are legally permitted but may be a concern for sensitive individuals.

Marketing Claims
The marketing is questionable. While the product does contain 'Badam Bits', the quantity is extremely low at just 0.5%. The name 'Badam Shakers' might mislead consumers into perceiving it as a healthy, almond-rich drink, whereas it is primarily a sugar-sweetened, milk-based beverage with artificial almond flavouring. The high sugar content is not highlighted, making the 'delicious drink' claim potentially misleading from a health standpoint.
