Our take

CleanPlate review

Saturated fat 24.6 g in a chocolate-coated stick

Amul Gold Frostik is a 70 ml stick in three layers: a chocolate stick (22%), chocolate ice cream (58%) and a choco layer coating (20%) that holds 4.5% cashew pieces. The pack prints the panel per 61 g stick, converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EC4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by cocoa solids, sugar and coconut oil), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, guar gum and xanthan gum. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (24.6 g per 100 g) and free sugar (19.8 g per 100 g).
