Lowest kilojoules: cordial, ranked
Three cordials tie for the fewest kilojoules on Australian shelves at 2 kJ per 100 mL undiluted (0 Cal): Golden Circle Zero Sugar Cordial Fruit Cup 2L, Golden Circle Zero Sugar Cordial Raspberry 2L and Golden Circle Zero Sugar Cordial Lime 2L, all verified against their pack labels.
Sugar is the only energy in the bottle, so this ranking mirrors the sugar list, with the zero lines at genuine zero. Undiluted figures, as the panel declares them.
