Our pure roast and ground and instant coffees are both made from a single ingredient: green coffee. 

Green coffees are seeds of coffee cherries grown on coffee trees. That means that our pure roast and ground, and instant coffees are both natural food products. If any other flavours or ingredients are added to an instant coffee product, it would be indicated on the package. For example, a flavour-added instant coffee would be named FLAVOURED INSTANT COFFEE. We follow the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s strict guidelines when labeling our pre-packaged food products.

A serving size is typically one rounded teaspoon. This guide shows approximately how much caffeine is present in a typical 6oz serving of prepared coffee. Amount is in milligrams.

NESCAFÉ Sweet & Creamy products are not vegetarian or vegan as they contain milk products.

NESCAFÉ Taster's Choice 100g jars, Classic and Decaf are not Kosher certified. For that reason, they do not have the Kosher certified symbol on the package. The reason they are no longer certified Kosher is because we switched manufacturing locations and the new location is not Kosher approved at this time.

All NESCAFÉ decaf coffees are decaffeinated using water to remove the caffeine from the beans. If you have additional questions regarding our decaf coffee, here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions: https://www.madewithnestle.ca/nescafe-decaffeination-process
