About Gold Peak Sweet Tea
Southern-style sweet tea, and the name is honest: 8.8 g of sugar per 100 ml is more than an AriZona green tea and not far off a cola. The 16.9 fl oz bottle brings that to 44 g, close to a whole day's orientation value — tea being the third ingredient does not change the arithmetic.
Is that a lot of sugar?

Overall composition
Nutri-Score D
Computed by Open Food Facts using the published Nutri-Score algorithm. Not assigned or endorsed by the manufacturer.
Nutri-Score grades the whole nutritional composition per 100 — energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt against fibre, protein and fruit or vegetable content — on a scale from A to E. It is a European front-of-pack scheme. It rates a product, not a diet, and says nothing about how much of it you drink.
Concentration follows the UK Department of Health front-of-pack thresholds for total sugars. The serving reading follows the WHO orientation value for free sugars. Nutri-Score is reproduced from the source named above. All three are applied mechanically to the declared figures for the market shown. None of them is a judgement about the product, and none is medical or dietary advice — what a given amount of sugar means for you depends on your whole diet and circumstances.
