Cavin's Creamy Latte Cold Coffee
Published
Cavin's Creamy Latte Cold Coffee is a ready-to-drink milk and coffee beverage in a small can. It scores [L]CB4: moderate on nutrition from milk protein and calcium, ingredients lose points because real coffee is a tiny share despite the beans claim, and risk is fairly high because of added sugar. Best as an occasional café-style treat, not a daily drink.

What to know about Cavin's Creamy Latte Cold Coffee
A latte can with just 0.6% coffee powder
A 170 ml can of sterilised flavoured toned milk, built from toned milk, sugar and water, with coffee powder at 0.6%, coffee flavouring, phosphate and citrate sequestrants, an emulsifier and carrageenan as a stabiliser. It is sold chilled as a quick café-style drink for a break or on the move.
Per 100 ml it has 89.8 kcal, 3.0 g protein, 12.5 g total sugar (7.3 g of it added), 2.0 g saturated fat and 120 mg calcium. The pack counts the can as two 85 ml servings, but a whole can is 153 kcal, 5.1 g protein and about 12.4 g added sugar.
The front says 100% Real Coffee Beans, while the list shows coffee powder at 0.6% with a coffee flavouring added alongside it. That gap is what sets the [L] flag. The milk protein and calcium are real. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB4.
Does Cavin's Creamy Latte Cold Coffee live up to its claims?
The protein and calcium claims hold, but 100% Real Coffee Beans does not: coffee powder is 0.6% of the drink. The retailer page also shows different numbers from the pack.
- On the packMisleading
“100% Real Coffee Beans”
Coffee powder is only 0.6% of the drink, and a coffee flavouring is listed as well. Toned milk, sugar and water make up most of it.
- Product namePartly true
“Cold Coffee, Creamy Latte”
The coffee is real but small at 0.6%, and the coffee taste is helped by nature-identical and artificial flavouring.
- On the packHolds
“Source of Protein”
3.0 g per 100 ml, 2.6 g per 85 ml serve and about 5.1 g in the can, mostly from the toned milk.

“Source of Calcium”
120 mg per 100 ml, about 102 mg per 85 ml serve.

Why Cavin's Creamy Latte Cold Coffee scores [L]CB4
Nutrition is a C on milk protein and calcium. Ingredients are a B after points lost for carrageenan, phosphates, flavouring and coffee at only 0.6%. Risk is a 4, driven by 7.3 g added sugar per 100 ml.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 3 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 90 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 3.0 g per 100 ml, mostly from the toned milk, and the core score is modest at 1.07. Calcium at 120 mg per 100 ml earns the micro bonus that lifts the grade to a C.
A whole can gives 5.1 g protein and about 204 mg calcium, but the drink also carries 153 kcal, so the nutrition is useful rather than dense.
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.

- Yes
02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The base is simple: toned milk, sugar and water. The cost comes from the additives. Carrageenan (INS 407) is the biggest deduction, and the phosphate sequestrants, mono- and diglycerides (INS 471) and the nature-identical and artificial coffee flavouring each cost ingredient points too. Sodium citrate costs nothing.
Coffee powder is 0.6%, under the 2% needed to back a real-coffee promise, and the 100% Real Coffee Beans claim fails the same test. Together these take 10 points off and set the [L] flag. No hydrogenated fat is listed.

High risk
- Added sugar
- 7.3 g
- Sodium
- 67 mg
- Saturated fat
- 2 g
- Trans fat
- 0.1 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Added sugar is the main driver: 7.3 g per 100 ml, about 12.4 g in the can. It makes up most of the risk score.
Energy (89.8 kcal per 100 ml), saturated fat (2.0 g) and sodium (67 mg) add smaller amounts. Trans fat is under 0.1 g, so it plays no part.
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 Creamy Latte Cold Coffee?
Toned milk, sugar and water lead the list, with coffee powder far behind at 0.6%. Watch the added sugar and the carrageenan.
The ingredient list, read for you
Toned milk leads, then sugar and water, so this is sweetened milk with a little coffee. Coffee powder follows at 0.6%, with a nature-identical and artificial coffee flavouring to carry the taste. The sequestrants (phosphates and citrate) keep the milk stable, the emulsifier (INS 471) blends the fat, and carrageenan (INS 407) thickens the drink and gives it a creamy body.
Ingredients to watch
- Coffee powder at 0.6%Concern
A real ingredient under 2% sits behind a 100% Real Coffee Beans claim. It costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
- Added sugarConcern
7.3 g per 100 ml, about 12.4 g in the 170 ml can. It is the largest part of the risk score.
- Carrageenan (INS 407)Worth watching
The stabiliser that costs the most ingredient points among the additives listed.
- Phosphate sequestrants and flavouringWorth watching
Potassium, sodium and poly-phosphates (INS 340, 339, 452) and the coffee flavouring each cost ingredient points.
- Milk protein and calciumFine
3.0 g protein and 120 mg calcium per 100 ml, from the toned milk.
What it doesn’t have
- The toned milk has no declared percentage, and no caffeine amount is given.
