Common questions

Is NESCAFÉ Gold healthy?

NESCAFÉ Gold scores 96/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in NESCAFÉ Gold?

NESCAFÉ Gold lists 2 ingredients, starting with Soluble Coffee and Blend of Arabica and Robusta Beans. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in NESCAFÉ Gold’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
