Our take

CleanPlate review

Canned coffee milk carrying 14 g added sugar

Amul Kool Cafe Milk 'n' Coffee lists standardised milk, sugar, milk solids, coffee (0.7%) and stabiliser (INS 401). The can is 200 ml and the panel is printed per 200 ml, converted here to per 100 ml.

CleanPlate scores it CA4. The C for nutrition is middling: 3 g protein and some calcium per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by standardized milk, sugar and milk solids), and almost no additives. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (7.2 g per 100 ml) and saturated fat (2.9 g per 100 ml).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Standardised milk, sugar, milk solids, coffee (0.7%) and stabiliser (INS 401).

Per 100 ml: 100 kcal, 4.5 g fat of which 2.9 g saturated, 11.9 g sugar of which 7.2 g added, 3 g protein, 40 mg sodium. The panel is per 200 ml can (one serve), so values are halved. The Blinkit listing mixes per 100 ml and per-can figures; the pack panel was used. Net quantity of 200 ml is taken from the panel serving size.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    7.2 g per 100 ml, 14.4 g in the can, about 29% of a day's limit on the pack's own basis.

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    2.9 g per 100 ml, 5.8 g in a can, from the milk fat.

  • IngredientsFine

    Five items, with sodium alginate (INS 401) as the only additive.

  • Protein and calciumFine

    3 g protein and 120 mg calcium per 100 ml.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Coffee milk is a coffee drink"

Coffee is 0.7% of the can; it is mostly sweetened milk.

Myth: "Milk makes the sugar harmless"

The 14.4 g of added sugar in the can counts in full; only the lactose is left out.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA few times a week
  • ChildrenOccasionally
  • Diabetes or prediabetesOccasionally, watch the sugar

Smarter ways to eat it

Share a can
