What to know about Raw Pressery Plain & Unsweetened Almond Beverage
An almond drink with 5% almond and no sugar
Raw Pressery Plain & Unsweetened Almond Beverage is a 1 l carton of almond drink made from water and almond (5%), with lecithin as an emulsifier, two acidity regulators and three stabilisers. It is bought by people who avoid dairy or lactose, and by anyone who wants a neutral drink for tea, coffee, baking and shakes.
A 250 ml glass, the serve on the pack, gives 80 kcal, 2.65 g protein, 5.7 g fat of which 1.1 g is saturated, 2 g fibre and no sugar at all. It also carries 232 mg calcium and 5.2 mg vitamin E. Sodium is very low, about 21 mg per glass.
The pack says unsweetened, dairy-free and lactose free, and the numbers agree: sugar and lactose are both 0 g. What the name does not say is how little almond there is: 5%, with the rest water. CleanPlate scores it [F]BA1.
Why Raw Pressery Plain & Unsweetened Almond Beverage scores [F]BA1
Nutrition is a B on modest protein and fibre plus calcium and vitamin E, helped by fortified calcium. Ingredients are an A with only minor additive costs, and risk is a 1: no sugar and 0.44 g saturated fat per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 1.06 g per 100 ml and fibre is 0.81 g, so the core score is small. What lifts it to a B is the micronutrient bonus: 92.6 mg calcium, 2.08 mg vitamin E, 1.28 mg iron and 55.8 mg potassium per 100 ml.
The calcium is flagged as fortified. Without that, the nutrition grade would be a C, so the grade leans on added calcium more than on the almonds.
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
Water and almond lead the list, and almond at 5% is the only declared percentage. The additives are few and mostly small: calcium phosphates (341), gellan gum (418), locust bean gum (410) and calcium carbonate (170) cost ingredient points, and lecithin (322) costs a little. Potassium citrates (332) cost nothing.
Nothing on the pack is hollow: no sweetness is claimed that is missing, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. That keeps the grade at an A.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is 0.44 g per 100 ml and sodium is 8.34 mg, the two small parts that make up the risk number. Sugar, trans fat and energy add nothing: added sugar is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and energy is 32 kcal per 100 ml.
A full 250 ml glass has 80 kcal, 1.1 g saturated fat and about 21 mg sodium, all well under the high lines.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[F] Added vitamins or minerals meaningfully lift this product's nutrition grade. Without them it would score lower.

What's in Raw Pressery Plain & Unsweetened Almond Beverage?
Water and almond (5%) lead a short list. The extras are lecithin, acidity regulators and gums, and the calcium phosphates, gellan gum and locust bean gum cost small ingredient points.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, then almond at 5%, the only percentage on the pack, so this is a thin almond drink rather than a thick nut milk. Lecithin (322) is the emulsifier that keeps the almond fat blended in the water.
The rest are small-dose additives: calcium phosphates and potassium citrates regulate acidity, and calcium carbonate, gellan gum and locust bean gum act as stabilisers that keep the drink smooth and the calcium suspended.
