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

Sugar load
■ Don't eat trigger

Meets the RED threshold because nutrition lists 22. 5g total sugars per 100g, which is ≥10g/100g for solids.

Evidence is from the product page cited below; no ingredient-ranking evidence is provided beyond the ingredients list.

Processing tier
■ Don't eat trigger

The research classifies this as NOVA Group 4 (ultra-processed) due to whey isolate/concentrate plus added flavours and emulsifier (sunflower lecithin). Per the v1 rule, NOVA Group 4 combined with another failed axis (Sugar load is red) triggers a RED flag.

Fat profile

Meets GREEN threshold based on provided nutrition: 4. 2g total fat/100g and saturated fat noted as 2.

5g/100g (i. e.

, <3g/100g). No partially hydrogenated oils or trans-fat quantity >1g/100g is evidenced in the provided ingredients/nutrition.

Sodium

Meets GREEN threshold because sodium is 190mg per 100g, below the 300mg/100g yellow threshold for solids. This is evidenced from the product nutrition details in the research.

Marketing deception
■ Think twice trigger

Insufficient product-specific substantiation for GREEN because the provided timeline includes an ASCI upheld complaint against the brand for a misleading claim on another product (chocolate). This is not a ruling about this whey protein, so it does not meet RED thresholds, but it is evidence of marketing-claim risk, triggering YELLOW under v1 due to brand-level advertising controversy.

Regulatory history
■ Think twice trigger

Insufficient evidence for GREEN because there is a documented ASCI upheld complaint (2023-06-15) against the brand (even though for a different product). Under the v1 rule, this constitutes a brand-level controversy/regulatory finding surfaced in public record, so it is marked YELLOW (not a recall/ban/court order for this product).
