Iced Coffee in VKI Test: Only a Few Are "Good" or "Very Good"

18 out of 30 of these coffee drinks only achieved an "average" rating. None of the products containing (vegan) milk received the rating "very good".

Iced Coffee in VKI Test: Only One Product Received "Very Good"

Only one out of 30 products received the overall rating "very good". Eight milk-based drinks and three vegan alternatives were rated "good". In the Nutri-Score, more than half of the products only achieved a C, D, or E. This rating results from the addition of milk and sugar, leading to higher levels of fat, saturated fatty acids, and sugar. Additionally, many milk-based drinks are highly processed and contain numerous additives. Therefore, the NOVA value, which indicates the degree of processing, was rated as "average" or even "less satisfactory" in 29 products. Regarding consumer-friendly labeling, half of the packaging managed to impress with a "very good".

Little Coffee in Iced Coffee Available in Stores

"Iced coffee" refers to chilled coffee or espresso served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Products available in stores are technically referred to as milk-based drinks, with vegan alternatives also available. These chilled drinks often contain little coffee but a lot of milk and added sugar, as well as additives like sweeteners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, or flavors for the desired taste and consistency. The detailed test results are now available here and can be found in the September issue of the magazine KONSUMENT from August 28.
