Weak nutrition · Simply made · per 100 ml
Sugars are high for a drink (8.62 g/100 ml) with nothing to slow them down.
Worse than 8 in 10 packs in Breakfast. The swap is on this aisle.
A 330 ml can is about 28 g of sugar — roughly 7 teaspoons. A can a day this week is about 49 teaspoons. Per 100 ml hides that.
Council note
About 2.2 teaspoons of sugar in 100 ml. A 330 ml can is about 28 g of sugar. Nothing in the bottle slows that down. Water is the keep in this aisle.

The nutrition box is the limit. A kinder ingredient list cannot talk this pack into Good.
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.
Processing sets a ceiling
This is simply processed food. Fine often. Not a keep unless the rest of the pack is honest.
Two red lights on the box cannot be rated Good
Two red lights on salt, sugar or saturated fat keep this at Poor, not Good.
A weak nutrition box
About 2.2 teaspoons of sugar in 100 ml. Nothing in the bottle slows that sugar down — no fibre, no protein. Salt is moderate. Fibre is a genuine plus. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
What held it up
A quiet ingredient list
No high- or moderate-concern additives. The extras, if any, are pantry-familiar.
Also worth knowing
Simply made
Made with a few extra steps. Still recognisable as food.
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

Salt

Niacinamide
No concernA keep at modest percentages. Too much can flush some faces.
