Common questions

Is Nesquik Cocoa healthy?

Nesquik Cocoa scores 47/100 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.

What is in Nesquik Cocoa?

Nesquik Cocoa lists 10 ingredients, starting with Sugar, Cocoa, Soy Lecithin, Salt and Sodium Ascorbate [vitamin C]. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Nesquik Cocoa contain seed oils?

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