Published · Last updated
A realistic serve of Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk (1 bottle, 180 mL) has 159 kcal, 5.2 g protein, 21.6 g carbohydrate, 5.4 g fat, 13.1 g added sugar and 72 mg sodium. Per 100 ml it has 88 kcal, 2.9 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate, 3 g fat, 1.8 g saturated fat, 7.3 g added sugar and 40 mg sodium.
Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk is a ready-to-drink UHT toned milk with added sugar, badam flavouring and four synthetic colours. It scores DA4: nutrition is low because protein is modest for the sugar, ingredients grade well on a short milk-based list while the dyes and flavouring cost points, and risk is high because of the added sugar. Best as an occasional treat.

Why Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk scores DA4
Nutrition is a D because protein is only 2.89 g per 100 mL. Ingredients are an A on a short milk base, though dyes and flavouring cost points. Risk is a 4, driven by 7.28 g added sugar per 100 mL.

01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 2.89 g per 100 mL, almost all from the toned milk, which is 5.2 g in a 180 mL bottle. Against 88 kcal per 100 mL and 12 g of sugars, that is a modest return.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, and no calcium figure is printed, so nothing lifts the grade beyond the protein.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and led by toned milk and milk solids, so the base scores well. Sugar comes third, and no percentages are declared.
The additives are where points go. Four synthetic colours (tartrazine 102, sunset yellow 110, carmoisine 122 and caramel IV 150d) and the artificial flavouring each cost ingredient points, with caramel IV costing the most. No label promise is hollow, so no [L] flag applies.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 7.3 g
- Sodium
- 40 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Added sugar is the biggest driver: 7.28 g per 100 mL, and 13.1 g in one bottle. It accounts for most of the risk number.
Energy of 88 kcal per 100 mL and saturated fat of 1.78 g per 100 mL add a little. Sodium is low at 40 mg per 100 mL, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk live up to its claims?
The UHT toned milk description holds. The badam flavour is artificial, with no almond listed, and the listing's calcium claim has no calcium figure on the pack to back it.
- On the packPartly true
“Badam flavour”
This is an honest flavoured-milk name. The taste comes from artificial flavouring substances (badam, caramel), and no almond is listed.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Rich in calcium”
The retailer page says rich in calcium, but the pack shows no calcium figure. Milk is a natural source, though the amount here is not stated.
- On the packHolds
“UHT Treated Flavoured Toned Milk”
Toned milk is the first ingredient, with milk solids added, and it is flavoured and coloured as the description says.
What's in Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk?
Toned milk, milk solids and sugar lead the list. Watch the added sugar, then the four synthetic colours and the artificial flavouring.
9 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 3 moderate concern, 1 low concern.
The ingredient list, read for you
Toned milk leads, then milk solids and sugar, so the drink is a sweetened milk base. Four synthetic colours (110, 122, 150d, 102) give it its look, and artificial flavouring substances (badam, caramel) give it the taste. No percentages are declared.
What the additives do
Sunset Yellow FCF (moderate concern): orange or yellow colour. A synthetic orange azo dye and one of the Southampton Six. The EU requires a hyperactivity warning on foods that contain it. More on Sunset Yellow FCF.
Carmoisine (moderate concern): pink, red or maroon colour. A synthetic red azo dye (also called azorubine) and one of the Southampton Six. It is not approved for food use in the United States. More on Carmoisine.
Tartrazine (moderate concern): lemon-yellow colour. A synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye and one of the Southampton Six. The EU requires a hyperactivity warning on every product containing it. More on Tartrazine.
Caramel Colour (Class IV) (low concern): dark brown colour. Sulphite ammonia caramel, the brown colour in colas and sauces. It can contain 4-MEI, a by-product IARC lists as possibly carcinogenic. More on Caramel Colour (Class IV).
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
7.28 g per 100 mL, 13.1 g in one 180 mL bottle. It is the main driver of the risk number.
- Synthetic coloursWorth watching
Tartrazine (102), sunset yellow (110), carmoisine (122) and caramel IV (150d) are all listed. Each costs ingredient points, and they add colour only.
- Artificial flavouringWorth watching
Badam and caramel flavouring substances give the taste, and they cost ingredient points.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
1.78 g per 100 mL, 3.2 g per bottle, from the milk.
- Milk proteinFine
2.89 g per 100 mL, 5.2 g per bottle, from toned milk. Sodium is low at 40 mg per 100 mL.
What it doesn’t have
- No calcium is declared on the panel, despite the listing's rich in calcium line.
- No ingredient percentages are given, so the share of milk solids and sugar is unknown.
What to know about Amul Kool Badam Flavoured Milk
A milk drink where sugar and dyes do the work
A 180 mL bottle of UHT flavoured toned milk, made from toned milk, milk solids and sugar, coloured with four synthetic colours (110, 122, 150d, 102) and flavoured with artificial flavouring substances (badam, caramel). It is sold as a chilled summer drink that tastes like a milkshake. No ingredient percentages are declared.
One bottle has 159 kcal, 5.2 g protein, 21.6 g total sugars of which 13.1 g are added, 3.2 g saturated fat and 72 mg sodium. Per 100 mL that is 88 kcal, 2.89 g protein and 7.28 g added sugar. The sugar is the main cost, and the colours add nothing to nutrition.
The name promises a badam flavour, and the pack delivers exactly that: a flavour, made with artificial flavouring substances, with no almond in the list. The listing also says rich in calcium, but no calcium is declared on the pack. CleanPlate scores it DA4.
