Costa Food: calories, sugar and salt for every item

Each Costa Food item is listed with its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein, and how much of the daily guideline it uses. Open any item for the full breakdown and allergens.

Open any Costa Food item and set an age and sex. The calculator shows its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein as a share of that person's daily guidelines, and you can adjust the portion size.

Yes. Start with any Costa Food item, then add food and drinks from across the Costa menu. The calculator totals the order and shows how it fits the daily guidelines for your age and sex.

Boone uses UK government and NHS guidelines, which differ by age and sex. Saturated fat is limited to 20g a day for women and 30g for men, and free sugar to 30g for adults but 19g for children aged 4 to 6. Choosing an age and sex recalculates every figure against the right limits.

Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt and need less energy, so the same item uses a bigger share of their day. A child aged 4 to 6 has a limit of 19g of free sugar and 3g of salt, compared with 30g and 6g for an adult.

Boone uses the nutrition and allergen information Costa publishes for its UK menu, then calculates free sugar and how much of the daily guidelines each item uses for your age and sex.

Yes. Each Costa Food item page lists the allergens Costa declares, including where cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. If you have a severe allergy, always check with the store before ordering.

Costa publishes total sugar, which includes the sugar naturally found in milk and whole fruit. NHS limits apply only to free sugars, so Boone separates the two and measures free sugar against your daily limit. That is why an item can use less of your limit than its total sugar suggests.
