What to know about Smoodh Chocolate Hazelnut Flavoured Milk

Chocolate hazelnut milk that leans on sugar and flavouring

A 150 ml bottle of UHT flavoured milk built from milk solids (equivalent to 90% double toned milk), sugar, malt extract and cocoa solids, with a stabiliser and emulsifier blend, nature-identical chocolate and hazelnut flavouring and iodised salt. It is sold as a sweet, chilled drink for kids and for anyone who wants a milk that tastes like dessert.

Per 100 ml it has 81.8 kcal, 2.2 g protein, 13.7 g total sugar (7.0 g declared as added) and 1.2 g saturated fat. In the 150 ml bottle that is 122.7 kcal, 3.3 g protein, 20.6 g total sugar and 120.9 mg calcium. The sugar is the main cost: malt extract adds sugar that the added-sugar line leaves out.

The front says Chocolate Hazelnut, but no hazelnut is listed at all and chocolate appears as a flavouring, with real cocoa solids only fourth after milk solids, sugar and malt extract. That gap sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CD4.

Does Smoodh Chocolate Hazelnut Flavoured Milk live up to its claims?

The name promises chocolate and hazelnut, but both come as flavouring and no hazelnut is listed. Cocoa solids are only fourth on the list, so the name does not hold.

  • Product name

    “Chocolate Hazelnut”

    Misleading

    Chocolate and hazelnut are listed as nature-identical flavouring, and no hazelnut ingredient is listed. Cocoa solids come fourth, after milk solids, sugar and malt extract.

  • On the pack

    “Flavoured Milk”

    Holds

    It is milk with added sugar and flavour. The milk solids are equivalent to 90% double toned milk.

  • On the pack

    “UHT Treated”

    Holds

    The pack states UHT treatment, and the bottle is sold chilled-style with a long shelf life.

Why Smoodh Chocolate Hazelnut Flavoured Milk scores [L]CD4

Nutrition is a C on modest protein and some calcium. Ingredients are a D because of the flavouring-led name and seven additives, and risk is a 4 because free sugar is 13.2 g per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 2.2 g per 100 ml, and the main credit comes from calcium at 80.6 mg per 100 ml, which is 120.9 mg in one bottle. Protein is low for the calories, so it adds little.

No fibre is declared and no other vitamins or minerals are listed, so the grade rests on calcium and the milk base.

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 D

Milk solids, sugar and malt extract lead the list, then cocoa solids. Chocolate appears again as a nature-identical flavouring, and the real chocolate is not in the top three, which costs label-integrity points and sets the [L].

Seven additive entries cost ingredient points. Carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most. Cellulose (460), mono- and diglycerides (471), potassium phosphates (340), polyphosphates (452) and the flavouring each cost a smaller amount. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sugar drives the risk number. Malt extract is listed and its sugar is not in the added-sugar line, so free sugar is counted as 13.2 g per 100 ml, not the declared 7.0 g.

Energy (81.8 kcal), sodium (70.1 mg) and saturated fat (1.2 g) per 100 ml add smaller amounts. Trans fat is 0.05 g and plays no part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

What's in Smoodh Chocolate Hazelnut Flavoured Milk?

Milk solids, sugar and malt extract lead the list. Watch the sugar, the carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose, and the flavouring standing in for the name.

The ingredient list, read for you

Milk solids come first, equivalent to 90% double toned milk, then sugar and malt extract, so the sweetness comes from two sources. Cocoa solids give the real chocolate, and nature-identical chocolate and hazelnut flavouring fill in the rest of the taste.

A blend of cellulose, mono- and diglycerides, carboxymethyl cellulose, carrageenan and two phosphates keeps the drink smooth and stops it separating. Iodised salt is last. The pack states it contains milk, barley, wheat and millet.
