Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its extremely high content of added sugar, with a single 180ml serving containing 27g, which constitutes 54% of the FSSAI recommended daily allowance. While it is fortified with beneficial nutrients like calcium, zinc, and various vitamins, the excessive sugar level, presence of trans fat, and use of artificial flavors make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption, positioning it as an occasional dessert beverage rather than a nutritious drink.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Fortified Breakfast Smoothie
1. In a blender, combine one pack of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme milkshake with half a banana and one tablespoon of rolled oats. 2. Add a few ice cubes for a thicker consistency. 3. Blend until smooth and serve immediately for a more balanced breakfast drink.
Health Benefits
Adds dietary fiber from oats and potassium from the banana to slightly offset the high sugar content.
Cookies 'n' Creme Chia Pudding
1. In a jar or glass, mix the contents of one Hershey's milkshake pack with 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. 2. Stir vigorously for a minute to prevent clumping. 3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until a thick, pudding-like consistency is achieved. 4. Top with fresh berries before serving.
Health Benefits
Creates a dessert rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds, making it more satiating.
Additive Analysis
The product is UHT treated, which eliminates the need for preservatives. It contains several FSSAI-approved emulsifiers (INS 460i, 466, 471) and stabilizers (INS 415, 407) which are generally considered safe for consumption. The primary health concern stems from the nutritional profile, not the additives themselves.
Preservatives

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims create a 'health halo' by emphasizing fortification with vitamins and minerals ('Immunity Support', 'Goodness of Calcium & Vitamins'). While factually true that the product is fortified, these claims are misleading as they distract from the fact that the product is extremely high in added sugar (27g per serve). This tactic can mislead consumers, especially parents, into perceiving it as a healthy beverage for children, when it is nutritionally closer to a liquid dessert.
