Ingredients with an unresolved source

micronutrient blend

We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.

as mk-7

We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.

vitamin b12

Vitamin B12 is commonly produced by microbial fermentation, but its carrier and manufacturing source are not stated.

flavourings

Unspecified flavourings may contain carriers or ingredients of animal origin.

Sweetener

This ingredient name is in the source dictionary, but it is not yet covered by a verified assessment. This is not evidence of animal origin.

choline bitartrate

The source or production method of choline bitartrate can vary, so it is not always vegan.

vitamin d3

Vitamin D3 is often derived from lanolin unless another source is stated.

niacin

Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.

menaquinone

The source or production method of menaquinone can vary, so it is not always vegan.

retinyl acetate

The source or production method of retinyl acetate can vary, so it is not always vegan.

vitamin A

The source or production method of vitamin A can vary, so it is not always vegan.

riboflavin

Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.

Insufficient data

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

Source values per 100 g or 100 ml, as supplied by the record. Confirm the basis on the package; these are not per-serving values.

How our indicator is calculated

When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product

Is this answer valid for every Huel product?

No. This page covers Huel Vanilla Flavour, barcode 5060495111006. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.

What still needs to be confirmed?

The source of micronutrient blend, as mk-7, vitamin b12, flavourings, Sweetener, choline bitartrate, vitamin d3, niacin, menaquinone, retinyl acetate, vitamin A, riboflavin needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.

Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?

No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.

What if my label is different?
