The Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate as published, seen four ways.
1 of 3 limits is over 30% in one hot drink, the UK front-of-pack mark for high.
Free sugar is the biggest issue: 23g is 77% of an adult’s daily 30g in one hot drink.
NHS limits by age: salt goes from 0% for an adult to 1% at age 4 to 6.
For age 4 to 6, free sugar is the bigger share: 23g is 121% of the day’s 19g limit.

For age 11 to 17, free sugar is the bigger share: 23g is 77% of the day’s 30g limit.
Protein counts in your favour here, but the saturated fat is still 25% of the adult limit.
