How much caffeine & sugar does a 250-ml can of 'energy drink' contain?
short by Garima Garg / on Wednesday, 8 July, 2026
Food regulator FSSAI issued notices to beverage brands like Sting, Red Bull and Monster over misleading "energy drink" claims. Experts said the temporary boost comes primarily from caffeine, with a 250-ml can containing around 75 mg. However, the high sugar content is a bigger health concern, with the same can containing roughly 27 grams of added sugar, about seven teaspoons.
