Our take

CleanPlate review

Cashew and raisins are 2.5% each

Amul Fruit N Nut Fantasy is a 1 L tub of milk solids and sugar with orange jelly (4%), milk chocolate chips (3%), cashew pieces (2.5%) and raisins (2.5%), an emulsifier, four stabilisers, artificial kesar-elaichi flavouring and two synthetic colours. The panel is printed per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [R]ED3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The D for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and orange jelly), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring and tartrazine. A red flag (Southampton Six x2) cuts the score by 30%. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (7.6 g per 100 g) and free sugar (15.2 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “FRUIT 'N' NUT FANTASY”

    Partly true

    Orange jelly (4%), milk chocolate chips (3%), cashew pieces (2.5%) and raisins (2.5%) add up to 12% of the tub.

  • On the pack

    “Amul Real Milk. Real Ice Cream.”

    Be careful

    Milk solids lead the list and no vegetable fat is listed, but the list also has five stabilisers and emulsifiers, artificial flavouring and two synthetic colours.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[R] Contains an ingredient on our red-flag list (such as a partially hydrogenated oil or a flagged synthetic dye), which cuts the ingredient grade.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Milk solids and sugar, then orange jelly (4%), milk chocolate chips (3%), cashew pieces (2.5%), raisins (2.5%), an emulsifier, four stabilisers, artificial kesar-elaichi flavouring and two colours (INS 102, 110).

Per 100 g: 226 kcal, 13.6 g fat of which 7.6 g saturated, 22.3 g sugar of which 15.2 g added, 4 g protein, 49 mg sodium. Trans fat (0.4 g per 100 g) is not counted because the fats listed are dairy and chocolate fats and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

Ingredients to watch

  • Synthetic dyesConcern

    Tartrazine (102) and sunset yellow (110) are two of the Southampton Six, so the red flag applies.

  • Saturated fat and sugarConcern

    7.6 g saturated fat and 15.2 g added sugar per 100 g.

  • Gums and emulsifierWorth watching

    Carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost 6 points each.

  • Declared piecesFine

    Jelly, chocolate chips, cashew and raisins all have percentages.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Fruit and nut ice cream is a healthier pick"

The cashew and raisins are 2.5% each; the tub still has 15.2 g added sugar per 100 g.

Myth: "Orange jelly counts as fruit"

It is a jelly at 4% of the tub, not whole fruit.
