Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Published · Last updated
A realistic serve of Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk (1 carton, 80 ml) has 65 kcal, 1.8 g protein, 11.4 g carbohydrate, 1.4 g fat, 5.6 g added sugar and 56 mg sodium. Per 100 ml it has 82 kcal, 2.2 g protein, 14.2 g carbohydrate, 1.8 g fat, 1.2 g saturated fat, 7 g added sugar and 70 mg sodium.
Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk is a ready-to-drink flavoured milk in small single cartons, sweetened with sugar and malt extract. It scores [L]CD4: nutrition is middling on a little protein and calcium, ingredients lose points for many emulsifiers and stabilisers and a chocolate flavour standing in for real cocoa, and risk is high because of the sugar. Best kept as an occasional treat.

Why Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk scores [L]CD4
Nutrition is a C on a little protein and calcium. Ingredients are a D because of the additive list and the chocolate flavour, and risk is a 4 on 13.2 g free sugar per 100 ml.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 2.2 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 82 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 2.2 g per 100 ml and the grade does not come from it: the protein factor is low. What lifts it is calcium, 80.6 mg per 100 ml, from the milk solids.
No fibre is declared and the energy is moderate at 81.8 kcal per 100 ml, so there is little else to add.
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.
Heavily processed or flagged substances

- Milk Solids*
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 6
- Flagged
- Carrageenan
02 Ingredient integrity: why D
Milk solids lead the list, then sugar, malt extract and cocoa solids. The additives are the main drag: carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most, and cellulose (460), mono- and diglycerides (471), potassium phosphates (340), polyphosphates (452) and the nature-identical flavouring cost ingredient points as well.
A flavouring named for chocolate is listed while the real cocoa is not among the top three ingredients. That label promise costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 7 g
- Sodium
- 70.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0.05 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number. Counting malt extract, free sugar is 13.2 g per 100 ml against 7.0 g declared as added, and it makes up most of the risk load.
Saturated fat (1.2 g per 100 ml), sodium (70.1 mg per 100 ml) and energy add a little. Trans fat is 0.05 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it 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.

Does Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk live up to its claims?
The calorie and calcium claims hold, but the chocolate hazelnut promise does not: a chocolate flavouring is listed while cocoa solids come fourth. The retailer page and the pack also differ on flavouring.
- On the packMisleading
“Chocolate Hazelnut”
A nature-identical chocolate flavouring is listed and the real cocoa solids are not in the top three ingredients. No hazelnut is listed, only flavouring.
- On the packHolds
“Less than 75 kcal per pack”
One 80 ml carton has 65.4 kcal.
- On the packHolds
“Contains Calcium”
80.6 mg per 100 ml, about 64.5 mg in a carton, coming from the milk solids.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Flavouring, salt and cocoa wording”
The retailer page shows artificial flavouring substances, plain salt and cocoa solids at 1%. The pack shows nature-identical flavouring substances, iodised salt and no cocoa percentage.
What's in Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk?
Milk solids lead, then sugar and malt extract, followed by six emulsifier and stabiliser codes and flavourings. Carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost the most points.
8 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern.
The ingredient list, read for you
Milk solids come first, equivalent to 90% double toned milk, then sugar, malt extract and cocoa solids. No percentages are printed for sugar, malt extract or cocoa.
Six emulsifier and stabiliser codes follow (460(i), 471, 466, 407, 340, 452). They keep the cocoa suspended and the drink smooth. Nature-identical chocolate and hazelnut flavourings and iodised salt close the list.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 ml the panel shows 81.8 kcal, 2.2 g protein and 13.7 g total sugars, with 7.0 g declared as added. Malt extract's sugar is not in the added line, so 13.2 g free sugar is counted. In one 80 ml carton that is 65.4 kcal, 1.8 g protein, 11.0 g total sugars and 5.6 g added.
Calcium is 80.6 mg per 100 ml, 64.5 mg per carton. Saturated fat is 1.2 g and sodium 70.1 mg per 100 ml (56.1 mg per carton). Protein is small, and no fibre or vitamins are declared.
What the additives do
Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.
Ingredients to watch
- Carboxymethyl cellulose (INS 466)Worth watching
A thickener that gives the drink body and holds the cocoa evenly, and it costs ingredient points.
- Nature-identical flavouring substances (chocolate, hazelnut)Worth watching
Lab-made flavours that give the chocolate and hazelnut taste the ingredients do not supply, and they cost ingredient points.
- Potassium phosphates (INS 340) and polyphosphates (INS 452)Worth watching
Sequestrants that keep milk proteins stable in the drink, and they cost ingredient points.
- Cellulose (INS 460(i)) and mono- and diglycerides (INS 471)Worth watching
A stabiliser and an emulsifier that keep fat and cocoa mixed so the milk stays smooth, and they cost ingredient points.
- Carrageenan (INS 407)Fine
A seaweed-derived thickener that stops the cocoa settling at the bottom of the carton, and it costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No hazelnut is listed, only a flavouring, and the cocoa solids carry no declared percentage on the pack.
- No fibre or vitamins are declared on the panel.
What to know about Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Chocolate hazelnut milk with sugar and a long additive list
Smoodh Hazelnut Chocolate Flavoured Milk comes in a pack of ten 80 ml cartons. It is built from milk solids (equivalent to 90% double toned milk), sugar, malt extract and cocoa solids, with six emulsifier and stabiliser codes, nature-identical chocolate and hazelnut flavourings and iodised salt. It is sold as a shake-and-sip drink for kids and for on-the-go moments.
Each 80 ml carton gives 65.4 kcal, 1.8 g protein and 64.5 mg calcium. It also gives 11.0 g total sugars, of which the pack declares 5.6 g as added. The pack itself says less than 75 kcal per pack, which holds. The cost is the sugar: 13.7 g per 100 ml in total, and malt extract adds sugar that the added-sugar line does not show.
The front promises chocolate and hazelnut. The list has a chocolate flavouring and a hazelnut flavouring, but no hazelnut, and cocoa solids sit fourth, behind the flavouring's claim to the name. That is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CD4.
