What to know about Good&Moore Sugar Free Caramel Syrup
A 4 kcal caramel syrup built on additives
Good&Moore Sugar Free Caramel Syrup is a 250 ml bottle of concentrate for flavouring coffee and other water-based drinks. The list is water, two sweeteners (acesulfame potassium and aspartame), citric acid, two thickeners (carboxymethyl cellulose and xanthan gum), potassium sorbate, nature-identical flavouring and caramel colour. It is bought by people who want a sweet caramel note in coffee without sugar. No ingredient percentages are declared.
What you get is almost nothing in calories: 4 kcal per 100 ml, 1 g carbohydrate and 0.02 g total sugar, with no added sugar, fat or protein. A 15 ml serve, the amount the pack suggests per coffee, has 0.6 kcal and 1.5 mg sodium, and one bottle makes 16 drinks. What it costs is on the ingredient side: the sweetness comes from additives, and the body from a cellulose thickener.
The name and front promise sugar free caramel, and the sugar-free part is true. The caramel taste comes from nature-identical flavouring and caramel colour, not from a caramel ingredient. The pack also says it is not recommended for children, pregnant or lactating women, or people with phenylketonuria. CleanPlate scores it EE1.
Why Good&Moore Sugar Free Caramel Syrup scores EE1
Nutrition is an E because the syrup is nearly all water, with no protein and 0.07 g fibre per 100 ml. Ingredients are an E on two sweeteners, carboxymethyl cellulose and flavouring. Risk is a 1 on 4 kcal and 10.2 mg sodium per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing here to credit. Protein is 0 g, fibre is 0.07 g per 100 ml, and the syrup has 4 kcal per 100 ml. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
The syrup is low in calories because it is mostly water, not because it is rich in anything. A grade this low reflects an empty ingredient list, not a harmful one.
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 E
The list is water and additives. Carboxymethyl cellulose (466) costs the most ingredient points, followed by aspartame (951), acesulfame potassium (950), xanthan gum (415) and nature-identical flavouring. Caramel I colour (150a) costs a little more.
Citric acid (330) and potassium sorbate (202) cost no points. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and no claim on the pack is hollow, so the label itself costs nothing.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lowest grade, a 1. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and energy is 4 kcal per 100 ml.
The only measurable part is sodium at 10.2 mg per 100 ml, which is 1.5 mg in a 15 ml serve. The risk grade does not measure the sweeteners, which show up in the ingredient grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Good&Moore Sugar Free Caramel Syrup live up to its claims?
Sugar free holds: added sugar is 0 g. The caramel is flavouring only, and the diabetic-friendly and calorie-saving claims come with caveats, including a 98% versus 99% mismatch.
- Product namePartly true
“Sugar Free Caramel”
Sugar free is true, with 0 g added sugar. The caramel taste comes from nature-identical flavouring and caramel colour 150a; no caramel is listed as an ingredient.
- On the packBe careful
“Sugar-free, Diabetic Friendly”
Sugar is 0.02 g per 100 ml and carbohydrate 1 g per 100 ml, so a 15 ml serve has 0.15 g carbohydrate. The sweeteners are aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and the pack says it is not recommended for children or pregnancy.
- On the packBe careful
“98% Less Calories”
The retailer page shows 99% less calories, the pack shows 98%. The pack does not say what it is compared with. The syrup itself has 4 kcal per 100 ml.
- On the packHolds
“1 Bottle Makes 16 Drinks”
A 250 ml bottle at 15 ml per drink gives about 16 serves, as the panel says.
What's in Good&Moore Sugar Free Caramel Syrup?
Water, two artificial sweeteners and two thickeners lead the list. Carboxymethyl cellulose, aspartame and acesulfame potassium are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, so the syrup is mostly water. Two sweeteners, acesulfame potassium (950) and aspartame (951), provide the sweetness. Citric acid is the acidity regulator, carboxymethyl cellulose (466) and xanthan gum (415) give the thick, syrupy body, and potassium sorbate (202) preserves it.
The caramel taste comes from nature-identical flavouring substances, and caramel I (150a) gives the colour. No percentages are declared for any ingredient.
Ingredients to watch
- Carboxymethyl cellulose (466)Concern
The thickener that costs the most ingredient points in this syrup. It gives body to a drink flavouring that is mostly water.
- Aspartame and acesulfame potassiumConcern

- Flavouring, xanthan gum and caramel colourWorth watching
Nature-identical flavouring, xanthan gum (415) and caramel I (150a) each cost a few ingredient points. The caramel taste is not from caramel.
- SodiumFine
10.2 mg per 100 ml, about 1.5 mg in a 15 ml serve.
- Sugar and caloriesFine
0 g added sugar, 4 kcal per 100 ml and 0.6 kcal per serve.
