The Guilt Meter

Know before you sip.

Sugar isn’t the enemy. Not knowing is. So every No Guilt product comes with a Guilt Meter: one glance, one score, zero confusion.

How it works

Every product gets a score from 0 to 100 based on one thing: the sugar in the whole pack. Low score, low guilt. High score, high guilt. What you do with it is up to you.

The four levels





No guilt

0 g sugar

score 0

A little naughty

1 to 16 g sugar

score 1 to 33

Naughty

17 to 33 g sugar

score 34 to 66

With guilt

34 g+ sugar

score 67 to 100

The math (it’s simple)

No secret formula. We take the sugar in the full pack, compare it to 50 g, and turn it into a score out of 100.

Guilt score

max 100

Why 50 g? It’s the upper limit the World Health Organization suggests for daily free sugars on a 2,000-calorie diet. A score of 100 means one pack could use up a whole day’s limit. Anything above 50 g stays capped at 100.

See it in action

Here’s how four example products land on the meter.

Zero-sugar drink, 0 gScore 0 · No guilt

Small treat, 10 gScore 20 · A little naughty

Sweet snack, 25 gScore 50 · Naughty

Big sugary can, 54 gScore 100 · With guilt

Worked example: 54 g ÷ 50 g × 100 = 108, capped at 100.

The fine print (we keep it real)

  • Whole pack, not “per serving”. If you’re going to finish the can, the score counts the whole can.
  • Sugar only. The meter doesn’t measure calories, caffeine or anything else.
  • From the label. Scores are based on the nutrition information printed on each product.
  • A guide, not medical advice. If you have a health condition or dietary needs, talk to your doctor.

Questions

Why sugar and not calories?

Because sugar is our whole thing. The meter answers one question: how much sugar am I taking in?

A high score means you don’t want me to buy it?

Not at all. We sell sugar products now and we won’t pretend we don’t. The meter is the honest label. You make the call.

Is every zero-sugar product “No guilt”?

Yes. If there’s no sugar in the pack, it scores 0.
