What we say

BIG M claims that one 300ml carton BIG M Chocolate Flavoured Milk contains 43% of an adult's daily calcium needs which is actually around 49% of an 8-year-old's recommended dietary intake for calcium. But one 300ml carton of BIG M Chocolate Flavoured Milk also contains about 32% of the amount of sugar that an 8-year-old should reasonably consume in a day.

It has around the same amount of fat as regular milks but with all that sugar it's best kept as an occasional treat rather than a regular calcium source for your child.

BIG M also claims that BIG M Chocolate Flavoured Milk has a "low GI for sustained energy release" but all milks have a low GI so this one's no better than the rest. And just because something is low GI doesn't mean you can eat or drink as much as you like. Some fatty and sugary foods like chocolate cake with chocolate frosting can have a low GI but it doesn't make them healthy.
