Costa is under fire for their new Vegan Latte which can contain up to 32.4g of sugar.

The dairy-free Vanilla Latte “massimo” size has 32.4g of sugar — eight teaspoons — when made with coconut milk.

With almond milk it is 29.2g. NHS guidelines state people aged over 11 should have no more than seven teaspoons — 30g — a day.  Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum warned: “Vegans will get hooked on the sugar under the guise they are doing themselves a favour.” And Kawther Hashem of Action on Sugar said: “We urge all coffee shop chains to reduce sugar in their hot drinks.”

Costa Coffee said: “All our barista drinks are made to order and customers can opt for sugar-free syrups and smaller sizes.”

Half of people reckon mealtimes as a vegan would be a “nightmare”, a poll of 2,000 shows.
