Coca-Cola Lemon

Coca-Cola Lemon is a lemon-flavoured version of classic Coca-Cola that is marketed in various EU countries and also distributed via the German market in cans.[3][5] Combining the familiar cola taste with a refreshing lemon note, this variant targets consumers looking for a fruitier twist on traditional cola. According to the EU-style nutrition declaration, Coca-Cola Lemon provides about 182 kJ (43 kcal) per 100 ml and around 10.6 g of carbohydrates, all of which come from sugars.[4][5] Fat, saturated fat, protein and fibre are declared as 0 g, and salt is listed as 0 g per 100 ml.[4] As with regular Coca-Cola, a typical caffeine content of about 32 mg per 330 ml can be assumed, unless a caffeine-free version is explicitly labelled.[3]

In the European Union, nutrition labelling under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 is mandatory, so Coca-Cola Lemon is sold with a complete nutrition declaration per 100 ml and often additionally per serving (for example, a 330 ml can). A 330 ml serving therefore contains roughly 142 kcal and about 35 g of sugar, which nutritionally represents quickly available energy.[4][5] Because of this sugar content, the drink is classified as a standard sugar-sweetened soft drink, while in parallel the European market also offers sugar-free alternatives such as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Lemon, which contain virtually no calories or sugar.[1][2][3] For consumers who monitor their sugar intake, checking the EU nutrition declaration per 100 ml and per portion is particularly important.
