Ingredients with an unresolved source
Natural flavours can come from plant or animal sources.
We could not identify this ingredient reliably. Check the label spelling; this is a recognition gap, not evidence of animal origin.
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.
The source or production method of vitamin A can vary, so it is not always vegan.
Niacin is normally synthesized, but the manufacturing source is not confirmed by this ingredient list.
Vitamin B12 is commonly produced by microbial fermentation, but its carrier and manufacturing source are not stated.
Vitamin D3 is often derived from lanolin unless another source is stated.
Riboflavin can be produced by fermentation or other processes; the manufacturing source is not confirmed here.
Additional evidence
The source data identifies this product as vegan.
The source data identifies this product as vegetarian, which does not by itself confirm vegan status.

- 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.

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 Instant Meals - Madras, barcode 5060495116803. 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 flavourings, natural flavours, micronutrient blend, menaquinone, retinyl acetate, vitamin A, niacin, vitamin b12, vitamin d3, 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.
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?
