The table below shows how the nutrition of Actimel Original changes across pot or portion sizes.
Actimel Original contains 74 kcal, 1.6g of fat (1.1g saturated), 11.6g of carbohydrate (11g sugar), 2.9g of protein and 0.09g of salt per 100g.
Actimel is marketed around its L. casei Danone probiotic strain, but a single 100ml bottle delivers 11g of sugar, more than a third of the adult daily free sugar limit of 30g from one small drink. Multipacks of 8 bottles are commonly consumed daily by some households, which would deliver 88g of sugar across the pack.
At 11g of sugar per 100g, this is a high-sugar product under UK nutrient profiling thresholds (10g or more per 100g counts as high sugar). A small bottle (100ml) delivers 11g of sugar, 37% of the adult daily free sugar limit of 30g. As a general rule, the first 5g of sugar per 100g in any yoghurt is typically natural lactose; sugar content meaningfully above that reflects added sugar, fruit concentrate or sweetened fruit preparations.
Actimel Original contains 2.9g of protein per 100g. This is in the lower range for yoghurt-type products, typical of drinking yoghurts and some flavoured varieties where the recipe has been diluted with water or fruit preparation.
Actimel Original contains 1.1g of saturated fat per 100g, 6% of the adult daily guideline of 20g. A small bottle (100ml) delivers 1.1g of saturated fat.
Actimel Original has a single main component: fermented milk drink.
Looking at the ingredient list, it contains flavourings. Flavourings create or boost the taste profile, which matters particularly in products with very little actual fruit content.
