This flavoured milk is primarily a source of added sugar, which is a significant nutritional concern, especially for young children. While it contains milk and a small amount of coffee, the overall formulation is driven by its sugar content and nature-identical flavouring. Individuals monitoring their sugar intake, particularly parents of young children, should be mindful of this product's nutritional profile.
At a glance
From the declared label — not a lab testFindings to weigh
High in added sugar with nature-identical flavouring
This flavoured milk contains a notable amount of added sugar, which contributes to its overall calorie content and is a key nutritional consideration. It also uses nature-identical flavouring substances, meaning the specific flavour compounds are not fully disclosed. While generally safe for healthy adults in moderation, those managing sugar intake or with sensitivities to flavourings should be cautious.

Ingredient Concerns safety database
Sources cited below may be Indian (FSSAI) or international (EU, US, WHO, IARC) — an international classification or law is evidence, not an Indian regulatory finding.
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 →Flavouring Substances
Indian rules classify added flavours as natural, nature-identical (chemically synthesised copies of natural compounds) or artificial, and require the class to be declared. The label names the class, not the compounds, so a reader cannot see which substances make up the blend, or whether it carries something they avoid. This is information about transparency, not a finding of harm.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSS (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations 2011, flavours; FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020
Flavouring Substances: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Contains Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances, a blend whose specific compounds are not disclosed, which may be a concern for individuals with flavour sensitivities.
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 nutrition information provides energy per 100g (60 kcal), but the total pack size is not stated, so the energy per pack cannot be verified.
The label states 5% of Guideline Daily Amounts, but without the total energy per pack, this percentage cannot be verified against the 2000 kcal guideline.
The product is described as a Chilled Latté, and the ingredients include milk and coffee, consistent with a latte.
The ingredients list Toned Milk (41%) and Milk solids as primary components, confirming it is a dairy-based drink.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

Trace amounts: some named ingredients appear in token quantities or low in the list. At these concentrations a meaningful benefit is unlikely, and their front-of-pack prominence may not reflect their level in the formulation.
In label order — normally largest quantity first. Select a row for the full write-up and sources.
These are major food allergens named on the ingredient list. They are a risk only to people allergic to them — not a general-population safety issue — so they do not lower the safety score. Anyone with the allergy should avoid this product, and check the pack’s own allergen statement.

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.
