Sugar
Cadbury Roses are an assortment of individually wrapped milk chocolates, typically sold in tins and bags for celebrations. Each chocolate weighs approximately 10g and contains 7g of free sugar. The variety includes caramel, nougat, strawberry cream and other flavour centres.
All sugar in Cadbury Roses counts as free sugar under NHS guidelines. The sugar comes from the chocolate itself and from the filling. Caramel and cream varieties tend to be higher in sugar than nut varieties. The 7g figure represents the average across the range.
A standard 290g bag contains approximately 29 chocolates and 203g of free sugar, nearly seven times the adult daily limit. Roses are typically eaten socially, and it is easy to consume several in a single sitting without tracking the accumulated total.
Four Roses chocolates approach the adult daily sugar limit
Each Cadbury Rose contains 7g of free sugar. Four chocolates deliver 28g, just under the adult daily limit of 30g. For children aged 7 to 10 with a daily limit of 24g, just over three chocolates would reach their daily allowance. Roses are sold in large tins and bags, and the social eating context makes portion control difficult.
