127 kcal (531 kJ) per 100 g · P/F/C 0.5/0.5/31 g
Serving (scoop, 70 g) — 89 kcal (372 kJ) · Nutri-Score C
Per 100 g: sugar: high saturated fat: low salt: low fiber: low
In moderation. Sorbet sits in the middle of the scale — grade C on the open 2023 Nutri-Score algorithm: fine in a balanced diet, but not a “more is better” food.
Against
- Sugar: 20 g per serving. For scale, the WHO's ideal limit for free sugars (added sugar, plus the sugar in honey, syrups and juice) is 25 g a day.
A typical serving (scoop, 70 g) has 89 kcal, 0.4 g protein, 0.4 g fat and 21 g carbs. Other weights in the table.
How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
