Product Insights
Cola Cao Original is an instant cocoa drink mix sold in 310 g tins, belonging to the cocoa-based beverage family. It carries a NOVA 4 classification, indicating an ultra-processed product, and lacks an official Nutri-Score, while its formulation includes high cane sugar (about 66% of the mix) and a modest amount of natural defatted cocoa (22%) plus added wheat-based cereal cream, resulting in high sugar and moderate salt levels. The blend is enriched with calcium and phosphorus minerals, bears UTZ sustainable-farming and no-additives labels, but it also contains gluten, potential non-vegan sugar, and delivers a high sugar load, which may be unsuitable for diabetic or low-sugar diets.
