Mevano Hot Chocolate Mix is a cocoa and coconut jaggery powder stirred into hot or cold milk.

Best kept as an occasional treat, with a lighter scoop.

Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 7.6 g
- Fibre
- 10.4 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 364 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 7.6 g per 100 g, and the largest share comes from the cocoa powder. Fibre is 10.4 g per 100 g, also from cocoa, which is high for a drink mix and lifts the grade. In a 20 g serve that is 1.5 g protein and 2.1 g fibre.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade. The carbohydrate is 78 g per 100 g, mostly the jaggery.
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 four items: coconut jaggery, cocoa powder, natural flavours and rosemary extract. There is no palm oil, no hydrogenated fat, no colour and no sweetener, and trans fat is 0 g. The pack declares no percentages, so the order is the only guide to the proportions.
Natural flavours, with no source named, cost ingredient points. Rosemary extract is an antioxidant additive and costs none. Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise, so there is no label penalty.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 61 g
- Sodium
- 18 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Added sugar drives the risk number: 61 g per 100 g, declared as added sugar from the coconut jaggery. It makes up almost all of the risk score, which lands on a 4.
Energy is 364 kcal per 100 g, 73 kcal per 20 g serve. Saturated fat is 0.7 g and sodium 18 mg per 100 g, so both add very little.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High added sugar (61g per 100g)

Does Mevano Hot Chocolate Mix live up to its claims?
No refined sugar is listed, no preservative and no artificial flavour, so those hold. The sweetness is still coconut jaggery at 61 g added sugar per 100 g, which the front does not make clear.
- On the packBe careful
“0% Refined Sugar”
No refined sugar is listed, but coconut jaggery is the first ingredient and the panel declares 61 g added sugar per 100 g, about 12.2 g in a 20 g serve.
- On the packBe careful
“NO JAGGERY either...”
The front line is easy to misread, because the ingredient list starts with coconut jaggery. It is the sweetener and the main source of the 61 g added sugar per 100 g.
- On the packHolds
“100% Natural Ingredients”
The four listed items are jaggery, cocoa, natural flavours and rosemary extract. No colour, sweetener or nature-identical flavour is listed.
- On the packHolds
“No Preservatives”
No preservative is listed. Rosemary extract is in the list as an antioxidant.
- On the packBe careful
“Creamy rich taste”
Taste cannot be checked from the label. The powder has 4.1 g fat per 100 g, and any creaminess in the cup comes largely from the milk added.
What's in Mevano Hot Chocolate Mix?
Coconut jaggery leads, then cocoa, natural flavours and rosemary extract. The only point lost is for the unspecified natural flavours.
4 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.
The ingredient list, read for you
Coconut jaggery leads the list, then cocoa powder, so the powder is mostly sweetener with cocoa behind it. Natural flavours add to the chocolate taste, and rosemary extract is a plant-derived antioxidant. No ingredient has a declared percentage.
The label numbers, read for you
The number that decides the score is added sugar: 61 g per 100 g, which is 12.2 g in the 20 g serve (2 teaspoons) before any sugar in the milk. Energy is 364 kcal per 100 g, 73 kcal per serve.
Fibre is 10.4 g per 100 g, or 2.1 g a serve, and protein is 7.6 g per 100 g, or 1.5 g a serve. Sodium is only 18 mg per 100 g and saturated fat 0.7 g. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
Ingredients to watch
- Natural flavoursWorth watching
Unspecified flavouring that rounds out the chocolate taste, and because its source is not named it costs ingredient points.
- 392 Rosemary extractFine
A plant antioxidant that slows the fat in the cocoa from going stale, and it costs no ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No ingredient percentages are declared, so the share of cocoa against jaggery is not shown.
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
