02 Ingredient integrity: why B
Toned milk leads the list, which is a plus. The rest of the list is made of sugar, dried glucose syrup and texture additives.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (466) costs the most ingredient points, followed by cellulose (460), xanthan gum (415) and the nature-identical flavouring. Lecithin (322) costs one point, and the acidity regulators cost none.
The name stresses coffee, which is only 0.8% of the drink. That costs a small label point.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 4.8 g
- Sodium
- 51.8 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.1 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sugar is the main driver of the risk number: 6.2 g per 100 ml, about 10.5 g per can. This counts the sugar from the dried glucose syrup as well as the 4.8 g of added sugar the pack prints.
Saturated fat (1.1 g per 100 ml), sodium (51.8 mg per 100 ml) and energy (54 kcal per 100 ml) add only a little.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
