Our take
CleanPlate reviewChocochip ice cream with a long stabiliser list
Amul Gold Chocochips Ice Cream is milk solids, sugar, milk chocolate chips (8%), cocoa solids, mono-diglycerides (471) and four stabilisers (carrageenan 407, CMC 466, xanthan 415 and guar 412). The cup is 125 ml, about 69 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk solids and sugar), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, guar gum and xanthan gum. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.41 g per 100 g) and free sugar (19.4 g per 100 g).

The listing's panel is per 69 g cup and was converted to per 100 g; some structured fields mix per-cup values (added sugar 13.4 g and trans fat 0.3 g are per cup). The list names no water, so "milk solids" stand for the whole milk base. No fibre line.
