Soft drinks (regular)
Energy: ~40–45 kcal / 100 ml (typical) (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~40–45 kcal / 100 ml (typical)
- Energy density
- 40–45 kcal / 100 ml
- Basis
- Per 100 ml — a volume. Applying it to a weight would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 ml
- 40–45 kcal / 100 ml × 30 ml ÷ 100 = ≈ 12–14 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Sealed: per label. Opened: flat within about a day refrigerated.
Storage: Cool, dry stock; chill before service; strict FIFO by date.
- Chilled straight service
- Cola float with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Know the numbers when a guest asks for a lighter option
Essentially all added sugar. Set against WHO guidance (added sugar under 10% of daily energy, ideally under 5%), a full serving is a large share of a day in one drink.
