What GAIL's does not publish for this drink

Missing data: GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk)

GAIL's publishes a calorie figure for GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk) but not fat, sugar, protein or salt.

UK law requires large chains in England to show calories at the point of choice. The rest of the nutrition panel is voluntary, and GAIL's leaves it out for drinks. Boone estimates the missing figures from the milk and ingredients used and labels them as estimates rather than presenting them as GAIL's data.

The meal calculator on this page uses the same estimates, so treat a total that includes this drink as approximate.

Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk)

Roughly 0g of the 7.8g counts as free sugar, or about 0 teaspoons. The rest, 7.8g, is lactose from the semi-skimmed milk. GAIL's does not publish sugar for its drinks, so both figures are Boone estimates.

NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk)

Boone cannot classify this item, because GAIL's does not publish an ingredient list for it.

NOVA classification is read from an ingredient list. Without one there is no way to count additives, separate raw ingredients from manufactured ones, or say whether an item is ultra-processed. Boone does not estimate a NOVA group, because a guess presented as a classification would be worse than saying nothing.

Where an item on this menu is a sealed branded product, a canned soft drink for example, the manufacturer’s own label is used and a NOVA group is given.

Ingredients

GAIL's does not publish ingredient lists

Ingredients: GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk)

GAIL's does not publish the ingredients in GAIL's Flat White (Semi-Skimmed Milk), and it is under no legal obligation to do so.

Food and drinks made in a bakery and sold loose or made to order count as non-prepacked under UK food law. The legal requirement is to declare the 14 major allergens, and for large businesses in England to show calories at the point of choice. A full ingredient list is voluntary. Items GAIL's packs on site for direct sale carry their ingredients on the label in the bakery, but GAIL's does not publish them online.

This means no page on this site can tell you how many ingredients are in this drink, how many of them are manufactured substances, or whether it is ultra-processed. Boone will not estimate any of it. That absence is GAIL's decision, not an omission on our part.

Allergen information for this drink is published by GAIL's and is shown below. Recipes change, so always check in the bakery before ordering if you have an allergy.

GAIL's makes its food and drinks by hand with many ingredients and shared equipment, so it cannot guarantee any item is free from allergens. GAIL's lists oat milk as cereals containing gluten.
