Caffeine · Free sugars

Caffeine
  • Per serving: about 3 mg caffeine (serving: 1 of 16 servings). Source: 1.5 g instant coffee/espresso powder × USDA FDC SR Legacy #171893 (instant coffee powder, 3142 mg/100 g); divided by 16 servings.
  • 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: 3 mg · 2 servings: 6 mg · 3 servings: 9 mg · 4 servings: 12 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

1.3 g per serving

2.6 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 5.2 % 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
