SHOPPING How much sugar is in that iced tea? Author: Healthy Food Guide staffHealthy Food Guide Save to favs Log in now in to enjoy this feature Favs List PRINT

Iced teas can be a delicious and refreshing summer drink, but check the nutritional information panel as the sugar content may give you a fright!

Serve sizes

These vary. A 500ml bottle may say it’s either one or two serves, but once the bottle is opened, chances are you’ll drink it all.

We’ve compared the sugar content per serve to 1 teaspoon of sugar (5g – in line with New Zealand’s official food measurements*).
