Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix
Published
Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix is an instant iced tea powder sweetened with sorbitol and stevia. It scores [L]EB1: nutrition is bare, ingredients lose points for the sugar-free claim and sweeteners, and risk is minimal. A light drink for now and then, not a source of nutrients, and the sugar-free label deserves a second look.

What to know about Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix
A light peach iced tea with a shaky sugar-free claim
A 200 g can of instant peach iced tea powder. The list opens with a sugar-free substitute (sorbitol, INS 420), then instant black tea, citric acid, natural peach flavour, sodium citrates, a second sweetener (steviol glycosides, INS 960) and vitamin C. No percentages are declared. It is bought by people who want a cold flavoured tea without sugar.
You stir 15 g of powder into 150 ml of water. At the declared 84.8 kcal per 100 g, that is about 13 kcal and 11 mg sodium a glass. Protein is declared at 5.24 g per 100 g, about 0.8 g a glass. Total sugar, added sugar and fat are not declared on the panel, and no vitamin amount is given.
The front says Sugar Free twice and promises Rich in Vitamin C. The list shows no sugar-free proof on the panel and no amount of vitamin C, and that costs label points. The peach is natural flavour only, with no fruit listed. CleanPlate scores it [L]EB1.
Does Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix live up to its claims?
The Sugar Free claim does not pass the label test, and the calorie line on the back is slightly off. The no artificial colours, no preservatives and no artificial flavours claims hold.
- On the packMisleading
“SUGAR FREE”
The label test finds sugar in the ingredient wording, and the panel prints no total or added sugar value. The sweetness itself comes from sorbitol and steviol glycosides.
- Product namePartly true
“Peach Iced Tea”
The peach is natural peach flavour only. No fruit or juice is listed, and the tea is instant black tea.
- On the packBe careful
“Rich in Vitamin C”
Vitamin C from ascorbic acid is the last item in the list, and no amount is declared on the panel.
- On the packBe careful
“<10 calories per serve”
At 84.8 kcal per 100 g, one 15 g serve works out to about 13 kcal, a little above the claim.
- On the packHolds
“No artificial colours, preservatives or flavours”
None is listed. The acids are acidity regulators, not preservatives, and the flavour is natural.
Why Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix scores [L]EB1
Nutrition is an E because no protein source or vitamin amount is identified. Ingredients are a B, held back by the Sugar Free label test and two sweeteners, and risk is a 1 with 74.69 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Energy
- 85 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
The powder earns no nutrition credit. Protein is declared at 5.24 g per 100 g, but no protein contributor is identified in the list, so it is not counted. No vitamins or minerals are declared with an amount, and vitamin C is only named at the end of the list.
Energy is 84.8 kcal per 100 g, about 13 kcal in one 15 g serve.
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 B
The list is short and simple: sweeteners, instant black tea, citric acid, sodium citrates, natural peach flavour and vitamin C. Citric acid and sodium citrates cost nothing. Sorbitol and steviol glycosides cost ingredient points each, and natural flavouring alone costs a small one.
The Sugar Free claim fails the label test: sugar is found in the ingredient wording, and the panel prints no sugar value to support it. That costs label points and sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Clean
- Sodium
- 74.7 mg
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is a 1. Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and energy all add nothing to the risk number. Sodium is the only part that registers, at 74.69 mg per 100 g, about 11 mg in one serve.
Total sugar, added sugar and fat are not declared, so the grade rests on the figures that are printed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Guppy Mom's Sugar Free Peach Ice Tea Premix?
Sweeteners, instant black tea, two acidity regulators, peach flavour and vitamin C make up the list. Watch the two sweeteners and the missing vitamin C amount.
The ingredient list, read for you
Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, leads the list, so the powder is mostly sweetener. Instant black tea follows, then citric acid and sodium citrates for tartness, natural peach flavour, steviol glycosides as a second sweetener and vitamin C from ascorbic acid. No percentages are declared for any ingredient.
Ingredients to watch
- Sugar Free claimConcern
The label test finds sugar in the ingredient wording and the panel gives no sugar value, so the claim costs label points.
- Sorbitol (INS 420)Worth watching
Leads the list as the main sweetener. It costs ingredient points and can upset the stomach in larger amounts.
- Steviol glycosides (INS 960)Worth watching
A second sweetener, which costs ingredient points. The back of the pack calls the sweetening both natural and artificial.
- Vitamin CWorth watching
Named last in the list with no amount, so Rich in Vitamin C cannot be checked.
- SodiumFine
74.69 mg per 100 g, about 11 mg in one serve.

- No total sugar, added sugar or fat values are declared on the panel.
