EU nutrition claims
- Low fat: 1.5 g fat per 100 ml (limit ≤ 1.5 g)
- Low salt: 0.08 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 213 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving: about 2 mg caffeine (serving: 1 glass). Source: about 39 g chocolate syrup × USDA FDC SR Legacy #174117 (chocolate syrup, 6 mg/100 g).
- Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 2 mg · 2 servings: 4 mg · 3 servings: 6 mg · 4 servings: 8 mg.
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 1 % of 400 mg. EFSA
22 g per serving
44 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 88 % of the ideal 25 g
Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
