SuperYou Protein Wafer
Zero added sugar and solid 10g protein per bar, but hydrogenated coconut oil (trans-fats) and ultra-processed NOVA tier limit daily use.
§01 — Six-Axis Assessment
Red = warningZero added sugar per bar, meeting stringent WHO guidelines for free sugar intake[3]. However, product relies on non-caloric sweeteners (unspecified in sources); fermentation process may generate trace residual sugars. Excellent for diabetic and metabolic-conscious consumers, but sweetener identity not disclosed.
Ultra-processed (NOVA Tier 4): fermented yeast protein, hydrogenated fats, wafer-layered structure, artificial creamings, and multiple processing steps[20]. Lacks whole-food reference frame. While protein bioavailability is excellent, the degree of industrial transformation contradicts clean-eating positioning.
Contains hydrogenated coconut oil (trans-fats) per allergen disclosure on chocolate variant[38]. 10g coconut oil per 40g bar (25g per 100g). Hydrogenation converts unsaturated oils to saturated and trans configurations, increasing cardiovascular risk. Brand claims "no palm oil" but avoids disclosing trans-fat percentage—opacity inconsistent with "clean nutrition" messaging.
Sodium content not explicitly disclosed in accessible sources. Wafer structure and flavor creamings typically require <200mg/bar in compliant products, but brand transparency gap prevents confirmation. Cheese variant likely contains elevated sodium; label verification recommended before regular consumption.
Brand prominently advertises "no palm oil" and "clean, sustainable protein," yet ingredient list reveals hydrogenated coconut fats[30]. PDCAAS 1. 0 claim is accurate[3], but fermented yeast protein remains novel in India with limited long-term safety epidemiology. "Gut-friendly" positioning unsubstantiated in sources; fermentation benefit claims lack third-party clinical evidence.
Brand launched November 2024; no FSSAI recalls, notices, or enforcement actions identified as of April 2026[4]. Company claims batch-wise testing data accessible on request[2]. Non-GMO certification confirmed[33]. However, product's 18-month market history is insufficient for long-term safety surveillance. Fermented yeast protein technology is relatively novel in mass-market Indian food; regulatory precedent limited.
