Why Amul Chocolate Magic Sundae Ice Cream Tub scores EC4
Nutrition is an E: 3.5 g protein per 100 g, no fibre and no vitamins declared. Ingredients are a C because of seven additive items, and risk is a 4 on 11.1 g saturated fat and 21.6 g added sugar.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 3.5 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 267 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 3.5 g per 100 g, and the largest share comes from the cocoa solids in the topping. That is low for the calories, so the protein factor is only 0.5 and earns no credit.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. The result is the lowest nutrition grade.
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 is milk solids and sugar, but it is held together by an emulsifier (471), carrageenan (407), carboxymethyl cellulose (466), xanthan gum (415) and guar gum (412). The chocolate ripple adds pectin (440). Each of these costs ingredient points, and carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost the most.
Artificial vanilla flavouring costs further points. The pack emphasises cream in the name but does not declare its percentage, which costs a small label point. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so no points are lost there.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 21.6 g
- Sodium
- 44 mg
- Saturated fat
- 11.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0.4 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 11.1 g per 100 g, more than twice the 5 g high line, from the milk fat and the coconut oil in the topping. Added sugar of 21.6 g per 100 g is the second driver.
Declared trans fat of 0.4 g per 100 g adds a little, and it is accepted as declared because no hydrogenated fat is listed. Sodium is low at 44 mg per 100 g, and energy plays no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High added sugar (21.6g per 100g)

Does Amul Chocolate Magic Sundae Ice Cream Tub live up to its claims?
Real milk is true as far as it goes, since milk solids lead the ice cream. The cream is emphasised in the name with no percentage, and the chocolate chips are only 1.5%.

“Amul Real Milk. Real Ice Cream.”
Milk solids are the first ingredient of the ice cream part, so the milk is real. The same list also has artificial vanilla flavouring, an emulsifier and four stabilisers.
- Product nameBe careful
“Amul Ice Cream”
Cream is emphasised in the name, but its percentage is not declared. The ice cream part is 78% of the tub and starts with milk solids.
- Product namePartly true
“Chocolate Magic Sundae”
The topping is 22% of the tub and starts with cocoa solids and coconut oil. The milk chocolate chips are only 1.5%.
What's in Amul Chocolate Magic Sundae Ice Cream Tub?

9 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
The tub has two parts. The ice cream (78%) is milk solids and sugar, with an emulsifier, stabilisers and artificial vanilla flavouring that give it body and keep it smooth. The topping (22%) starts with cocoa solids and coconut oil, then a ripple of water, sugar, dextrose, cocoa solids and pectin, and milk chocolate chips at 1.5%.
Sugar appears in both parts, once in the ice cream and again in the chocolate ripple, along with dextrose. No individual percentages are given for the sub-ingredients apart from the chips.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 g the panel shows 267 kcal, 21.6 g added sugar (26.5 g total sugar) and 11.1 g saturated fat. In the pack serve of 100 mL (54 g) that is about 144 kcal, 11.7 g added sugar and 6.0 g saturated fat. The tub is labelled as ten servings.
Protein is small at 3.5 g per 100 g, about 1.9 g a serve. Sodium is low at 44 mg per 100 g, trans fat is declared at 0.4 g and cholesterol at 36 mg. No fibre or vitamins are declared.
What the additives do
Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.
Not in our additive research yet: emulsifier (471); chocolate ripple [water, sugar, dextrose, cocoa solids, stabilizer (440)].
Ingredients to watch
- Carboxymethyl cellulose (466)Worth watching
A cellulose-based stabiliser that keeps the texture even and slows ice crystals as the tub is opened and re-frozen. It costs ingredient points.
- Mono- and diglycerides (471)Worth watching
An emulsifier that keeps the fat and water mixed so the ice cream stays smooth and holds its shape. It costs ingredient points.
- Guar gum (412), xanthan gum (415) and pectin (440)Worth watching
Plant-based thickeners that add body to the ice cream and keep the chocolate ripple from running. They cost ingredient points.
- Artificial flavouring substances (vanilla)Worth watching
Gives the ice cream its vanilla taste more cheaply than real vanilla. It costs ingredient points.
- Carrageenan (INS 407)Fine
A seaweed-derived stabiliser that gives the ice cream a thick, smooth texture. It costs ingredient points.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
- The percentage of cream is not declared, although cream is emphasised in the name.
