Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 2.8 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
The score is held down by this product's nutrition profile, which dominates the assessment regardless of the rest of the formulation. This coffee beverage mix contains a significant amount of sugar, which is a primary nutritional concern, especially for regular consumption. The undisclosed anticaking agent also raises transparency concerns, as the specific substance and its safety profile cannot be assessed. While coffee powder provides a stimulant, the overall formulation is driven by sugar and milk solids. Individuals monitoring sugar intake or with sensitivities to undisclosed additives should exercise caution.

Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
The product contains an undisclosed 'Anticaking Agent'. Without specific identification (e.g., an INS number or chemical name), a full safety assessment for this additive is not possible, which is a transparency concern for consumers.
High in added sugar. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting free sugar intake to less than 10% of total energy, ideally under 5%.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The claim 'Premium Quality' is a subjective marketing statement that cannot be objectively verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The product is described as an 'Instant Milk Flavour' and the ingredients list 'Milk Solids', which supports the claim of milk flavour.
The product is named 'Cold Coffee' and 'coffee powder' is listed as an ingredient.
The product contains sugar (75g per 100g) which provides energy (375 kcal per 100g), supporting the claim of providing energy.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
