Weak nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 ml
A weak nutrition box and an ultra-processed recipe. A treat in a bottle, not a weekday pour.
Worse than 10 in 10 packs in Drinks. The swap is on this aisle.
A 330 ml can is about 33 g of sugar — roughly 8 teaspoons. A can a day this week is about 56 teaspoons. Per 100 ml hides that.
Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A 330 ml can is about 33 g of sugar. The colour (Tartrazine) is cosmetic, not food. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Worse than 10 in 10 packs in Drinks. The swap is on this aisle.

What pulled it down
A weak nutrition box cannot be rated Good
Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate this box. Poor at best — a treat, not a habit.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
A cluster of extras blocks Excellent or Good
A cluster of extras keeps this at Poor: a sometimes product, not a habit.
A weak nutrition box
About 2.5 teaspoons of sugar in 100 ml. Nothing in the bottle slows that sugar down — no fibre, no protein. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
Carrageenan
-14Degraded carrageenan is inflammatory in animal studies. Debate continues.
Tartrazine
-14Azo dye linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children. EFSA ADI 7.5 mg/kg.
Natural flavouring
-5Undisclosed mixture. Usually low toxicological risk, poor transparency.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

Extra care for children
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Natural flavouring
−5Not a toxin. A sign the recipe needed a perfume. You cannot tell what is inside from the words.
Water
No concernNo concern. The best everyday pour.
LecithinE322
No concernGenerally fine. Soy lecithin can matter if you are highly soy-allergic.
