Ingredients with an unresolved source

The oil source is not identified as plant-derived.

natural flavours

Natural flavours can come from plant or animal sources.

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

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

riboflavin

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

menaquinone

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

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

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 Salted Caramel, barcode 5060495113918. 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 unspecified chocolate, unspecified oil, natural flavours, concentrated grape juice, niacin, riboflavin, menaquinone, retinyl acetate, vitamin A, vitamin b12 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.

Does “may contain” make it non-vegan?

A precautionary trace statement describes possible cross-contact, not an ingredient intentionally included in the recipe. We keep it separate from the recipe assessment. This distinction does not establish allergy safety.

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?
