The iso fish is the same basemix with 10% fishmeal added to it.
Life can be simple and fools pay a lot of money for a bag of mainline!

re: ....And they are indeed an extremely simple mix.
Soya 33%
Pasta flour 24%
Potato protein 18%
Micronised maize 7.7%
Soya bean meal 6.3%
Heat treated rapeseed 6%
Egg products 5%
blimey if that really is the cell boilies ingredients list...then what a cheap load of sh!te...or maybe i've been overthinking it lol  ... as I assumed it had *Brocacel* in it hence the name CELL?!

Cell alternative
They say "This light brown coconut boilie is proving very successful in water dominated by Cell"
25kg = £150, Cell would be £250ish
Not tried it myself, but know a friend who rates it so going to take it to France later this year.
Could give a light coating of the Cell Activator?

Wish I could remember which brand had potash listed as one of the ingredients…

Recipe on iso fish packets and their pop ups virtually the same

I did that quite a while ago, after taking a picture and blowing it up so I could read it 
After a google, similar to what you have got.
I believe there is something like pythase, spelt right, in the activator, but can’t see that, tastes rank though, very chemical 
Base mixes have always been basic, not HNV
Mirage baits do a CSL with a part 2 or something, think they have figured it out, considering what the Grange was…

EU law means you have to list ingredients for bait sold in the EU, who or how it's checked is at best vague! However you wouldn't want to get caught out as the consequences could be huge and probably not worth the risk for a long established business.

Hi Smurf.
Yes they are the same liquid ingredients I could see listed on a packet from a bait group.
How bound would you be to include your exact ingredients on what in reality is fishing bait.
I suppose you can just get away with being vague.
You wouldn’t exactly give away your secrets which you have perfected, because of eu legislation surely.
Or is that just me 😅.

That is from a bag of Essential Cell I believe? Is the freezer Cell the same?
Also the same bag of Essential Cell says 'EEC Permitted Liquid Flavourings, Antioxidant, Sweetner, Colourant 0.001%, E415, E422. 7g/Kg'.
The key to the bait could be in these mainly unknown products (E415 is Xanthan Gum and E422 is Ammonium phophatides which is often used in food products with Rapeseed oil as an emulsifier and stabiliser) and how they interact with the basemix ingredients.

If that’s really the constituents of The Cell then we have been overthinking things. I have seen this bait dominate waters.

Reigniting an old thread.
I can see that it was mentioned in this thread that the cell ingredients were not known.
But they have obviously been listed on the packaging which I assume is since this conversation.
And they are indeed an extremely simple mix.
Soya 33%
Pasta flour 24%
Potato protein 18%
Micronised maize 7.7%
Soya bean meal 6.3%
Heat treated rapeseed 6%
Egg products 5%
I’m assuming this fuels the fire for the fermentation/enzyme argument?
To assume that it’s just good marketing is farcical, I think there most successful baits have continued on the same theme of the grange all those years ago, simply reinventing a new bait under the same guise.
Because anglers require it.

I suppose that's the question i was asking or invitation for opinion as has been rightly stated we don't know what's in the basemix. Has any of the tests suggested that that reaction is only with the dedicated basemix or does it react the same with others? Some have suggested it works well in other basemixes on this thread but that doesn't mean that it's as or equally effective for sure. You guys clearly have a wealth of bait knowledge so was just interested in your thoughts/conclusions  .

That’s why the baits are soft
Have you tasted the activator, I have, really harsh
