What to know about Amul Cassatta Gold Ice Cream
A 280 kcal ice cream cake with three dyes
Amul Cassatta Gold is a single-serve ice cream pack in three parts: ice cream (80%) made from milk solids, sugar and mixed fruit jam (2.7%), an eggless cake base (10%) and a cashew topping (10%). It is sold as a nostalgic, flavour-packed dessert, with strawberry, butterscotch, tutti frutti and vanilla flavours all in one pack.
The pack is one serve of 105 g. It has 280 kcal, 5.4 g protein, 22.2 g total sugars (of which 16.8 g are added), 16.6 g fat with 8.0 g saturated, 39 mg cholesterol and 54 mg sodium. Trans fat is declared as 0 g. The sweetness and the fat are what you pay for in calories.
The back of the pack says Real Milk. Real Ice Cream., and milk solids do lead the list, but no cream percentage is declared even though the name stresses ice cream. The colour comes from three added dyes and the flavours are artificial flavouring substances. CleanPlate scores it EC3.
Why Amul Cassatta Gold Ice Cream scores EC3
Nutrition is an E: 5.4 g protein per pack against 16.8 g added sugar. Ingredients are a C, held back by many stabilisers, emulsifiers and three dyes. Risk is a 3, driven by 8.0 g saturated fat.
Very low nutrient density

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5.4 g in the 105 g pack, with milk solids the largest contributor at about 2.5 g. That is not enough to earn credit against 280 kcal, and no fibre is declared.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade. The score sits at the bottom of the scale.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The ice cream leads with milk solids and sugar, and the cake base adds refined wheat flour and more sugar. Fruit jam is only 2.7% of the ice cream. Real cashew pieces are 10% of the pack.
The additive list is long and is what holds the grade at a C. Carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most ingredient points, with the diphosphate raising agent (450), guar gum, xanthan gum, glycerol, several emulsifiers, artificial flavouring and the three dyes (127, 102, 124) adding smaller costs.
Sorbic acid (200), the preservative in the cake gel, and the sodium carbonate raising agent cost no points. A small label point goes because the name stresses ice cream with no cream percentage declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 16.8 g
- Sodium
- 54 mg
- Saturated fat
- 8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 8.0 g per pack, then added sugar at 16.8 g. Together they land risk on a 3.
Sodium is low at 54 mg, energy adds little at 280 kcal, and trans fat is 0 g, so none of these moves the number much.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Amul Cassatta Gold Ice Cream live up to its claims?
The eggless claim holds. Real Milk. Real Ice Cream. is true in that milk solids lead, but the name stresses ice cream without a declared cream percentage, which costs a small label point.
- On the packBe careful
“Real Milk. Real Ice Cream.”
Milk solids lead the list and the ice cream is 80% of the pack. But the name stresses ice cream and no cream percentage is declared, which costs a small label point.
- On the packHolds
“Eggless cake base”
No egg is listed in the cake base, and the pack carries the green vegetarian mark. The cake base is 10% of the pack.
- Product nameBe careful
“Amul Cassatta Gold”
The name suggests a rich, premium mix, but the fruit jam is only 2.7% of the ice cream and the colours and flavours are added dyes and artificial flavouring substances.
What's in Amul Cassatta Gold Ice Cream?
Milk solids and sugar lead the ice cream, with a cake base and cashews alongside. Watch the three dyes, the carrageenan and cellulose gum, and the added sugar.
The ingredient list, read for you
Milk solids and sugar lead the ice cream, followed by mixed fruit jam at 2.7%. Emulsifier 471 and four stabilisers (407, 466, 415, 412) give the texture, and artificial flavouring substances (strawberry, butterscotch, tutti frutti, vanilla) and three dyes (127, 102, 124) give the flavour and colour.
The eggless cake base is refined wheat flour, sugar, a cake concentrate of milk solids and dextrose with raising agents and emulsifiers, white butter and a cake gel with a humectant and sorbic acid as preservative. The topping is cashew pieces.
Ingredients to watch
- Three dyes (127, 102, 124)Concern
Erythrosine, tartrazine and Ponceau 4R are all listed in the ice cream. Each costs ingredient points, and they add colour only.
- Carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466)Concern
These two stabilisers cost the most ingredient points of any additive here. Cellulose gum (466) appears in both the ice cream and the cake base.
- Added sugarWorth watching
16.8 g added sugar in one pack, within 22.2 g total sugars.
- Saturated fatWorth watching
8.0 g in one pack, the biggest driver of the risk grade.
- Cashew piecesFine
A real topping at 10% of the pack, and sodium is low at 54 mg.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- No cream percentage is declared, although the name stresses ice cream.
