How this ranking works

Each item is scored with the UK Nutrient Profiling Model 2018 (DHSC technical guidance), using Starbucks’s published figures and portion weights. Where Starbucks does not publish a portion weight, Boone estimates it from the median energy per gram of similar items and labels it as estimated.

Starbucks does not publish fruit, vegetable or nut content, so those points count as 0, which can understate items with salad. Ties are shown as joint and listed by calories.
