Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate and Caramel Dessert Pots nutrition

One pot (60g)Ultra-processed (NOVA 4)1 allergenNPM Score (2018): 18, higher is less healthy

Figures from Tesco product page, collected by Boone. Free sugar estimated by Boone. Last checked 26 October 2026. Data checks are led by Murray Dare.

Free sugar leaves out an estimated 4.3g of lactose per 100g, worked out from the protein, because milk carries about 1.4g of lactose for every 1g of protein and this is a milk-based product. Lactose is the sugar in milk and is not free sugar.
