There are 200+ calories in a Triple Berry Frosty, depending on size.

Total Sugars

There are 53 grams of total carbohydrate in the small size Frosty, including 46 grams of total sugars.

  • YOU SHOULD KNOW

Sugars contribute a significant portion of total calories. Ingredients include sugar, molasses, and high fructose corn syrup.

At this time, Wendy’s does not provide a breakout between Natural Sugars vs. Added Sugars. However, as you can see from the list of ingredients, the Frosty recipe includes sugar, molasses, and high fructose corn syrup, all of which are considered added sugars.

Moreover, sugar is the second ingredient. That’s an important note because regulations require food processors to list ingredients in order of dominance by weight.

That said, milk (the first ingredient) does contain natural sugars (lactose). Natural sugars are reported within “total sugars.”

To put all of this into context, the FDA recommends that American adults limit the amount of Added Sugars to 50 grams per day (based on a daily diet of 2,000 calories).

What is Annatto Extract?

Annatto is an orange/red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree.  The additive is primarily used in foods for its coloring properties, creating a yellow or orange product.

The achiote tree is indigenous to Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The seeds contain compounds called carotenoids, which provide the vibrant color.

Annatto is often used to develop a yellow color in butter, margarine, and cheeses.  As a condiment, Annatto is used for its nutty, peppery aroma.
