Max Protein Ultimate Choco Berry

RiteBite · 100 g bar

RiteBite Max Protein Ultimate Choco Berry presents itself as a high-protein snack but falls into the 'think' category due to significant concerns around its sugar content and level of processing [2, 3]. While it delivers on protein, a single 100g bar contains 21.

The issue is frequency: the red flags make this a poor default, even if rare use carries lower practical concern.

This card is the decision shortcut. The detailed evidence and citations live in the six-axis cards below.

Sugar load
■ Don't eat trigger

A 100g bar contains 21. 6g of added sugar, which is 86% of the WHO's daily recommended limit of 25g for free sugars [1, 3].

Processing tier
■ Don't eat trigger

Classified as NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) due to the use of soy nuggets, invert syrup, humectants (glycerine, sorbitol), and emulsifiers [2, 3].

Fat / oil type
■ Think twice trigger

Contains palm kernel oil, which is high in saturated fats. The product contains 12g of saturated fat per 100g [3, 5].

Sodium

Sodium content is 400mg per 100g, which is 20% of the WHO's daily limit of 2000mg [1, 3].

Marketing deception
■ Think twice trigger

The front-of-pack focus on '30g Protein' and 'Ultimate' distracts from the high added sugar content and ultra-processed nature of the bar [4].

Regulatory history

No FSSAI notices, recalls, or major media controversies were found for this product or the RiteBite brand during the research period.
