Hershey's Chocolate Flavour Milkshake

Hershey's Chocolate Flavour Milkshake is a 180 ml dairy-based drink made from water, sugar, milk solids (8%) and cocoa solids (0.75%), with emulsifiers, calcium carbonate, zinc, vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E, and nature-identical flavouring. The pack prints the panel per 180 ml, converted here to per 100 ml.

CleanPlate scores it [F]CB3. The C for nutrition is middling: modest protein, fibre and micronutrients per 100 ml. The [F] marks that added calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D and zinc lift the grade; without them it would be E. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by sugar, milk solids and cocoa solids), with additives that cost points: carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring, sodium phosphates and cellulose. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (7.8 g per 100 ml).

Water, sugar, milk solids (8%), cocoa solids (0.75%), emulsifiers (460(i), 466, 471), calcium carbonate, sequestrant (339(ii)), salt, zinc sulphate, vitamin E acetate, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D2, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, with nature-identical flavouring.

Per 100 ml: 92.3 kcal, 2.06 g fat, 11.8 g sugar, 2.19 g protein. The pack panel is per 180 ml serve and converted by dividing by 1.8: 92.3 kcal, 11.8 g sugars, 2.19 g protein, 2.06 g fat. It prints no sodium, added sugar, saturated fat, cholesterol or trans fat line (saturated and trans fat appear only as footnote limits), so the score is provisional. Free sugar is taken as 7.8 g (total sugars 11.8 g less about 4 g of milk sugar). The nature-identical flavouring statement beside the list is counted once. Added calcium and vitamins lift the nutrition grade (marked [F]).
