Why Is Actimel So High In Syns?
At 4 syns for just a small 100g bottle, you might be curious as to why Actimel Danone drinks are so high in syns, allowing you to have up to 4 before consuming all your daily syn allowance.
Actimel gets its syns from mainly the sugar and flavourings, with the average Actimel having up to 13g of sugar for a very small portion and around a gram of fat.
