Spain’s supermarket shake-up as Lidl’s rival opens 14 new stores

Spain's consumer watchdog, OCU, has analyzed 91 supermarket-prepared coffees and exposed the healthiest and least healthy options. The investigation revealed that only six coffees met the outlet's Healthy Scale criteria, while 36 were deemed poor choices. An average sugar content of 7.6g per 100ml was found in the products tested, though some had significantly higher levels.

The research highlighted that certain coffee varieties, such as cappuccinos and flavored coffees, often contained more sugar, additives, and complicated ingredient lists. The study emphasized that the number of additives and sugar content can vary significantly between seemingly similar products. Kaiku Caffè Solo Largo Sin Azúcar, a coffee containing only water and Arabica coffee, was identified as the healthiest option.
