Chocolate Syrup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Nesquik Chocolate Syrup scores 49/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Nesquik Chocolate Syrup lists 5 ingredients, starting with Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Caramel Color, Natural Flavor, Citric Acid and Potassium Sorbate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 49/100 Nesquik Chocolate Syrup lands mid-scale — below the typical score in syrups & spreads, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in syrups & spreads is Spring Tree 100% Pure Rich Taste Maple Syrup at 100/100.
