Published · Updated
Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee is a ready-to-drink flavoured milk sold as a coffee break. It scores [L]CB4: middling on nutrition from the milk protein and calcium, decent on ingredients despite the gums and flavouring, with the label flag because coffee is a tiny share, and high on risk because of the sugar. Best as an occasional sweet treat.

What to know about Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee
A cold coffee with 0.3% coffee in it
Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee is a UHT-treated flavoured milk in a 180 ml pack. It is built from double toned milk (the back of the pack says 91% milk, no added water), sugar, coffee powder at 0.3%, a stabiliser blend, coffee flavouring, an acidity regulator and an emulsifier. It is bought as a ready-to-drink coffee break that needs no fridge until opened.
One 180 ml cup gives 168 kcal, 5.8 g protein and 130 mg calcium, which the pack prints as 13% of the daily value. It also gives 24.4 g total sugar, of which 14.8 g is added, and 3.4 g saturated fat. Per 100 ml that is 93 kcal, 8.2 g added sugar and 1.9 g saturated fat.
The name says cold coffee, and the listing says made with real coffee, but coffee powder is 0.3% and a nature-identical and artificial coffee flavour sits beside it. That gap sets the [L] flag. The milk is real and does give protein and calcium. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB4.
Does Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee live up to its claims?
The 91% milk claim holds, but cold coffee in the name does not: coffee powder is 0.3% of the drink. Instant energy and the soothing claim are framed more strongly than the label supports.
- Product nameMisleading
“Cold Coffee”
Coffee powder is 0.3% of the drink, under the 2% line, and a nature-identical and artificial coffee flavour is listed too. The drink is mostly sweetened milk.
- On the packHolds
“91% Milk, No added water”
The list starts with double toned milk, and the pack states 91% milk. Sugar is the second ingredient.
- On the packBe careful
“Instant Energy”
The energy is calories, 168 kcal a cup, with 14.8 g of it as added sugar. It is true but not a benefit.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Relaxing agent, soothes the nerves”
The retailer page makes this claim, while the pack makes no such claim. Nothing in the ingredient list or panel supports it.
Why Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee scores [L]CB4
Nutrition is a C on 3.2 g protein and 72 mg calcium per 100 ml. Ingredients are a B, held back by carrageenan, other gums, flavouring and the thin coffee share. Risk is a 4, driven mainly by 8.2 g added sugar per 100 ml.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 3.2 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 93 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 3.22 g per 100 ml, almost all from the double toned milk, and that earns most of the grade. Calcium is 72 mg per 100 ml, 130 mg in a cup, which adds a micronutrient bonus.
No fibre is declared. The protein and calcium keep the drink in the middle of the scale, but the sugar is not offset by anything else.
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.
Good, few concerning additives
- Base
- Double Toned Milk
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 7
- Flagged
- Carrageenan
- Artificial flavour or colour
- Yes
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list leads with milk and sugar, so the base is simple. The points are lost on the additives: carrageenan costs the most, then sodium phosphates, flavouring, guar gum, locust bean gum, xanthan gum and mono- and diglycerides each cost ingredient points. The sodium citrates cost none.
The label-integrity penalty is for coffee. As a real ingredient named on the front, it is only 0.3%, under the 2% line, which sets the [L] flag and costs further ingredient points.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 8.2 g
- Sodium
- 95.6 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0.06 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar is the largest part of the risk number. Added sugar is 8.22 g per 100 ml, and 14.8 g in one cup.
Energy (93 kcal per 100 ml), saturated fat (1.89 g per 100 ml, 3.4 g per cup) and sodium (96 mg per 100 ml, 172 mg per cup) add smaller amounts. Trans fat is 0.06 g per 100 ml and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee?
Milk and sugar lead the list, with coffee powder a distant third at 0.3%. The sugar and the carrageenan are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Double toned milk leads, then sugar, then coffee powder at 0.3%. Milk gives the protein and calcium, sugar gives the sweetness, and the coffee taste is backed by a nature-identical and artificial coffee flavour.
The stabiliser group holds six items: guar gum (412), mono- and diglycerides (471), carrageenan (407), locust bean gum (410), xanthan gum (415) and sodium phosphates (339(ii)). Together they thicken the drink and keep it from separating. An acidity regulator (331(iii)) and an emulsifier (436) follow.
Ingredients to watch
- Coffee at 0.3%Concern
Coffee powder is a tiny share of the drink, and the coffee taste leans on flavouring. This is the hollow promise behind the [L] flag.
- Added sugarConcern
8.22 g per 100 ml, 14.8 g in one 180 ml cup. It is the main driver of the risk grade.
- Carrageenan (407)Worth watching
The costliest additive in the ingredient grade, used with other gums for a thick, creamy texture.
- Flavouring and sodium phosphatesWorth watching
Nature-identical and artificial coffee flavouring and sodium phosphates (339(ii)) each cost ingredient points.
- Milk protein and calciumFine
3.22 g protein and 72 mg calcium per 100 ml, so 5.8 g and 130 mg in a cup.
What it doesn’t have
- The ingredient list gives no percentage for the milk or the sugar, only for coffee.
Who should eat Cavin's Chilled Latte Cold Coffee?
An occasional drink for most adults and heart-conscious readers, and rarely for children or anyone sensitive to lactose.
- Most adultsOccasionally
14.8 g added sugar in one cup is the main cost.
- ChildrenRarely
Sweet, with coffee and flavouring, and 14.8 g added sugar a cup.
- Heart healthOccasionally
3.4 g saturated fat per cup, with added sugar on top.
- Lactose intoleranceRarely
It is mostly milk (91% on the pack), and no lactose figure is given.
