Our take

CleanPlate review

Cold coffee sachet: 36 g added sugar per 100 g

Nescafe All in 1 Frappe is a pack of five 28 g sachets of milk solids, sugar, an instant coffee-chicory mixture (5%, of which coffee 3%), salt, vanilla flavouring and a steviol sweetener. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition is low: only 15.3 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and instant coffee-chicory mixture), with additives that cost points: flavouring and steviol glycosides. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (4.9 g per 100 g) and sodium (70.3 mg per 100 g) as made.

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Instant Cold Coffee Premix”

    Partly true

    Coffee is 3% of the powder; milk solids and sugar lead the list.

  • On the pack

    “This contains steviol glycosides”

    Holds

    960 is listed beside sugar, so it is not a sugar-free product.

  • On the pack

    “Contain non-caloric sweetener”

    Holds

    Steviol glycosides are listed.
