What drinks are included on SMASH?

Drinks are based on an energy density cap of 50 calories per all single serve drinks (including 500ml portions). Therefore, all drinks on the app would also be exempt from the Soft Drink’s Industry Levy (the sugar tax!). Milk based drinks have a higher cap at 100 calories, to recognise that whilst plant-based alternatives are lower in calories than cow’s milk, they don’t all always contain the important nutrients that young people get from cow’s milk (unless fortified). No energy drinks are on the app as they contain a warning on pack saying ‘not suitable for children’ due to their caffeine content.
