What to know about Good&Moore Zero Sugar Vanilla Coffee Syrup
A zero-calorie syrup with no vanilla or coffee
A 250 ml bottle of flavoured syrup built from water, two sweeteners (E950, E955), citric acid, two thickeners (E415, E466), a preservative (E202), flavouring and caramel colour (E150a). It is sold to people who want a sweet vanilla taste in hot coffee, cold coffee, frappes, milkshakes and hot chocolate without the sugar. No ingredient percentages are declared.
What you get is almost nothing in nutrition terms: 2.32 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g added sugar and 4.14 mg sodium per 100 ml. The suggested pour is 20 ml, so a serve adds under 1 kcal to a drink. What it costs is on the ingredient side: two intense sweeteners, two thickeners and flavouring do the work that sugar and vanilla would normally do.
The name promises vanilla and coffee, and neither is listed. The taste comes from nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, and that is what sets the [L] flag. The sugar-free claim is true. CleanPlate scores it [L]EE1.
Does Good&Moore Zero Sugar Vanilla Coffee Syrup live up to its claims?
Sugar free holds, but the vanilla and coffee in the name are not in the ingredient list. The pack's sweetener wording also differs from its own ingredient list.
- Product nameMisleading
“Zero Sugar Vanilla Coffee Syrup”
Neither vanilla nor coffee is in the ingredient list. The taste comes from nature-identical and natural flavouring substances.
- On the packHolds
“Sugar free”
Added sugar is 0 g and total sugar is 0.03 g per 100 ml. The sweetness comes from acesulfame potassium and sucralose.
- On the packBe careful
“99% Less Calories”
The front does not say less than what. The syrup has 2.32 kcal per 100 ml, which is close to nil but not exactly the zero calories the back describes.
- On the packBe careful
“Contains Aspartame, potassium and Saccharine”
The back text names aspartame and saccharine, but the ingredient list shows E950 and E955, which are acesulfame potassium and sucralose. The ingredient list was used for scoring.
Why Good&Moore Zero Sugar Vanilla Coffee Syrup scores [L]EE1
Nutrition is an E because there is no protein, almost no fibre and 2.32 kcal per 100 ml. Ingredients are an E on carboxymethyl cellulose, two sweeteners, flavouring and the missing vanilla and coffee. Risk is a 1.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- 0.08 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 2 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing to credit. Protein is 0 g, fat is 0 g and fibre is 0.08 g per 100 ml, and energy is 2.32 kcal. No protein source is identified, and no vitamins or minerals are declared.
A 20 ml serve adds a trace of carbohydrate and under 1 kcal to a drink, so the grade rests on an empty panel.
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.
Severe ingredient concerns
- Base
- Water
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 4
- Flagged
- Acesulfame Potassium
02 Ingredient integrity: why E
The list is water and additives. Carboxymethyl cellulose (E466) is the heaviest cost, followed by sucralose (E955), acesulfame potassium (E950), flavouring and xanthan gum (E415). Caramel colour (E150a) costs a small amount. Citric acid and potassium sorbate cost nothing.
The name promises vanilla and coffee, and neither is in the list. Each missing named ingredient costs label points, and that sets the [L]. Together with the additives, it holds ingredients at the bottom grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Clean
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 4.1 mg
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lowest grade. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g and no trans fat is listed. Sodium is 4.14 mg per 100 ml and energy is 2.32 kcal, so none of the measures come near a high line.
The risk grade does not look at sweeteners or thickeners. Those are scored in the ingredient grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Good&Moore Zero Sugar Vanilla Coffee Syrup?
Water and two sweeteners lead the list, followed by thickeners, a preservative, flavouring and caramel colour. The cellulose thickener and the sweeteners are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, then two sweeteners (E950 and E955) that replace sugar, and citric acid for tartness. Two thickeners (E415 and E466) give the syrup body, potassium sorbate (E202) preserves it, and flavouring and caramel colour (E150a) supply taste and colour. No percentages are declared, and neither vanilla nor coffee appears.
Ingredients to watch

Both are in the product name but not in the ingredient list. The flavour is nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, which costs ingredient points.
- Carboxymethyl cellulose (E466)Concern
A thickener that costs the most ingredient points of any additive in the list.
- Acesulfame potassium and sucraloseWorth watching
E950 and E955 give the sweetness in place of sugar. Both cost ingredient points, and the pack itself says it is not recommended for infants, pregnant or lactating women.
- Xanthan gum, flavouring and caramel colourWorth watching
E415, the flavouring and E150a each cost a small number of ingredient points.
- Calories, sugar and sodiumFine
2.32 kcal, 0 g added sugar and 4.14 mg sodium per 100 ml, so a 20 ml serve adds almost nothing.
