Coca-Cola Vanilla

Coca-Cola Vanilla is a caffeinated soft drink with plant extracts that combines the classic cola taste with a pronounced vanilla note. In Germany and across the EU, it is typically sold in 1‑liter bottles or 0.33‑liter cans and is subject to mandatory EU nutrition labeling per 100 ml. According to German product and beverage retailers, Coca-Cola Vanilla provides about 45 kcal per 100 ml, with approximately 11.1 g of carbohydrates, almost all of which come from sugar, and 0 g of fat, 0 g of saturated fat, 0 g of protein, and about 0–0.03 g of salt per 100 ml.[1][3][4] This places the drink among classic sugar-sweetened soft drinks with a higher energy content from sugar but no fat or protein.

Regarding caffeine, Coca-Cola Vanilla in the EU follows the standard Coca-Cola profile and contains around 32 mg of caffeine per 330 ml can, which corresponds to roughly 9–10 mg of caffeine per 100 ml (based on manufacturer data for comparable cola beverages in Germany, reasonably transferable to Coca-Cola Vanilla). In a typical 250 ml serving, the drink therefore provides about 112.5 kcal and 27.75 g of sugar, while still containing 0 g of fat and 0 g of protein. For consumers who monitor their sugar intake or are sensitive to caffeine, checking the EU nutrition declaration per 100 ml and per portion is particularly important. The statement “caffeinated soft drink with plant extracts” on the label clearly indicates the presence of caffeine, as required by EU food information regulations.

From a nutritional perspective, Coca-Cola Vanilla should mainly be considered an indulgence beverage: it delivers quickly available energy from sugar but provides no fiber, no significant amount of vitamins, and no protein. Within a balanced diet, intake of such sugar-sweetened soft drinks is best kept moderate, especially in light of public health recommendations to limit daily sugar consumption. The EU nutrition labeling per 100 ml helps consumers assess how much a portion of Coca-Cola Vanilla contributes to their daily energy and sugar intake and to compare it with other beverage options.
