Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly primarily due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 180ml serving contains 21.24g of sugar, which constitutes over 42% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for an adult. While it is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which is a positive attribute, the excessive sugar makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption, positioning it as a dessert beverage rather than a nutritious drink.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Fortified Chocolate Banana Smoothie Bowl
Blend one pack of Hershey's Milk Shake with a frozen banana and a tablespoon of oats. Pour into a bowl and top with a sprinkle of chia seeds and a few almonds. This creates a more balanced meal.
Health Benefits
Adds dietary fiber, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to slow sugar absorption and increase satiety.
Vitamin-Boosted Chocolate Mocha
Use half a pack (90ml) of the milkshake to mix with your morning coffee instead of sugar and milk. This reduces the overall sugar intake while adding a chocolate flavor and vitamins.
Health Benefits
Reduces sugar consumption per serving while still enjoying the flavor and fortification benefits in a controlled portion.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including emulsifiers (460(i), 466, 471), a sequestrant (339(ii)), and nature-identical flavors, are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The UHT treatment serves as the primary preservation method.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims about fortification are factually correct as the product contains added vitamins and minerals. However, the heavy emphasis on these health benefits without acknowledging the very high sugar content is questionable. It can mislead consumers, particularly parents, into perceiving this high-sugar beverage as a healthy daily drink for children, which is not aligned with balanced nutritional principles.
