Hot Chocolate Powder
Product Insights
Hot Chocolate Powder is Cadbury's instant cocoa mix sold in a 500 g recyclable carton and stocked at major UK retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons. It belongs to the cocoa-based beverage powder family, carries a Nutri-Score of E and is classified as an ultra-processed NOVA 4 product, reflecting its high sugar content (about 55 g per 100 g), moderate salt (0.6 g per 100 g), elevated saturated fat (about 6.4 g per 100 g) and a surprisingly high protein level (about 19 g per 100 g). While the mix offers a quick chocolate flavor and a good protein boost, its excessive sugar and saturated fat, together with added acidity regulator and flavouring, make it a less suitable choice for health-focused diets.
