What to know about Jeram's Fruit Flavoured Drink Tube
A sugar-sweetened ice tube with no fruit in it
A pack of ten 45 ml tubes (450 ml) of flavoured drink from Malaysia, made from water, sugar and milk powder, with a stabiliser, acidity regulators, a preservative, artificial flavouring and three artificial colours. It is sold as a treat children can drink, or freeze and bite, and the pack carries no declared percentages.
Per 100 ml it has 34 kcal, 8.2 g total sugar and 6.9 g added sugar. One tube is 15.3 kcal and 3.1 g added sugar, so the whole box of ten comes to about 31 g added sugar. Protein, fibre and fat are all 0 g, and sodium is only 3.7 mg per 100 ml.
The name promises a fruit flavour, and the list shows five artificial flavours (mango, lychee, strawberry, green apple and grape) but no fruit. The pack also says it contains milk, and milk powder is third on the list. CleanPlate scores it EA3.
Why Jeram's Fruit Flavoured Drink Tube scores EA3
Nutrition is an E because protein, fibre and fat are all 0 g and minerals are negligible. Ingredients are an A on a short list, with points lost to colours and flavour. Risk is a 3 on 6.9 g added sugar per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why E
The panel shows 0 g protein, 0 g fibre and 0 g fat per 100 ml. Calcium is 3.0 mg and potassium 4.8 mg per 100 ml, too little to add credit. The energy, 34 kcal per 100 ml, is almost all sugar.
Milk powder is on the list, but the declared protein is 0 g, so there is no protein credit and nothing else lifts the grade.
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 A
The list is short: water, sugar, milk powder, then a stabiliser, acidity regulators, a preservative, flavouring and colours. That brevity keeps the grade high, and no hollow label promise applies.
Artificial flavouring, the three colours (tartrazine 102, allura red 129 and brilliant blue 133) and xanthan gum 415 each cost ingredient points. Potassium sorbate, citric acid and sodium citrate cost none.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 6.9 g
- Sodium
- 3.7 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sugar drives the risk number: 6.9 g of added sugar per 100 ml, 3.1 g in one tube. That is the whole reason the risk lands on a 3.
Saturated fat and trans fat are 0 g and sodium is 3.7 mg per 100 ml, so they add almost nothing.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Jeram's Fruit Flavoured Drink Tube live up to its claims?
The flavoured-drink name is honest about flavour but no fruit is listed, and the milk claim holds. A retailer page names the product differently from the pack.
- Product namePartly true
“Fruit flavoured drink tube”
The name says flavoured, and that is honest. The taste comes from artificial flavouring for mango, lychee, strawberry, green apple and grape, and no fruit is listed.
- On the packHolds
“Contains milk”
Milk powder is the third ingredient, though its share is not declared and the panel shows 0 g protein.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Milk Icebar Jelly”
The retailer page shows Milk Icebar Jelly, the pack shows Fruit Flavoured Drink Tube. The pack is a liquid drink in tubes, not a jelly.
What's in Jeram's Fruit Flavoured Drink Tube?
Water, sugar and milk powder lead the list. Watch the added sugar and the three artificial colours.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water and sugar lead, then milk powder, so this is sweetened water with a little milk solids; none of the shares are declared. Xanthan gum keeps it smooth, citric acid and sodium citrate balance the sharpness, and potassium sorbate preserves it. The five artificial flavours and three artificial colours (102, 129, 133) give the taste and bright look.
Ingredients to watch
- Added sugarConcern
6.9 g per 100 ml, 3.1 g in one tube, about 31 g across the box of ten. It is the main driver of the risk number.
- Artificial colours 102, 129, 133Worth watching
Tartrazine, allura red and brilliant blue each cost ingredient points. They add colour only.
- Artificial flavouring and xanthan gumWorth watching
The flavouring and the stabiliser 415 each cost ingredient points. There is no fruit behind the flavour.
- Sodium and fatFine
Sodium is 3.7 mg per 100 ml and fat is 0 g, so they play no part in the risk.
What it doesn’t have
- No protein or fibre is declared, and the milk powder share is not stated.
- No fruit is listed, only flavouring.
