Every ingredient, and why it’s there.
This is the longest page on our website. That’s deliberate.
The backbone. High in lysine and branched-chain amino acids, and an isolate rather than a concentrate, so most of the plant’s original carbohydrate and fibre is removed.
The only plant protein complete on its own, and the most neutral-tasting of the three. It is why our flavours taste of themselves. Grown in India, where GM soybean cultivation is not permitted, so it is non-GMO by law. Soya is a declared allergen and is emphasised on every pack.
High in methionine, which is exactly what pea protein lacks. Its only job is closing that gap, and it does it.
Flavour, in the chocolate variants. Nothing more.
Derived from natural sources rather than synthesised. Genuinely the hardest ingredient to make good in this category.
So the powder disperses in liquid instead of clumping. Non-GMO, and not soy.
Sweetness from the stevia leaf. No sucralose, no aspartame, no acesulfame K.
Sweetness from the katemfe fruit. Rounds off the aftertaste stevia can leave.
A small amount. It makes everything else taste of more.
That’s nine.
In the barsEight per cent of each Core bar. It keeps the texture soft rather than chalky, and it makes every bar a source of omega-3 fatty acids — 1.1g of alpha-linolenic acid per bar.
Used instead of nut butter, so no bar in either range carries a tree nut. Sunflower is not one of the fourteen declared allergens.
Three of the five enzymes in the blend.
The other two.
So the powder disperses in liquid instead of clumping. Non-GMO, and not soy.
Twenty-one nutrients, built around the four that plant-based diets most commonly run short on.
One of the four nutrients plant-based diets most commonly run short on.
The second. Included at a meaningful level, not a token one.
The third, and the one almost every brand forgets.
D3 from lichen, not lanolin, so it is genuinely vegan — a distinction plenty of brands don’t bother making.
The rest of the twenty-one nutrient premix, at between 50% and 100% of the reference intake per serving.

How we test
Every batch, before release, at an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory.
- Full nutritional panel
- Protein by amino acid analysis
- Heavy metals — lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury
- Microbiological package
- Water activity
- Allergen swabs on the line after cleandown
On heavy metals specifically: peas accumulate cadmium from soil. It is a known characteristic of the crop, not a scandal, and it is why we test every lot rather than relying on a supplier certificate. Results for the current batch are available on request.
Allergens
We declare rather than claim. Every product contains soya, emphasised in the ingredient list on the pack as the law requires. Nothing else in the range is one of the fourteen declared allergens — our bars use sunflower seed butter rather than nut butter, and there are no oats anywhere in the range.
Our facility handles no milk, no milk products and no cereals containing gluten. That is why we can put gluten free and dairy free on the pack and mean it. It does handle nuts, peanuts and sesame, so every pack carries a cross-contamination statement saying so. We would rather be precise than reassuring.
If you have a diagnosed allergy, read the pack rather than this page — formulations change, and the pack is always current.
Packaging
Matte mono-material recyclable polyethylene pouches. Mono-material means a single plastic type rather than a laminate of several, which is what makes them recyclable rather than theoretically recyclable. Kerbside collection varies by council, so check your local guidance.
