Why Amul Gold King Alphonso Ice Cream Tub scores [L]EC4

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 3.5 g per 100 g, mostly from milk solids, and that is the only thing on the panel that adds to the grade. A 55 g scoop gives 1.9 g.

No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, and the energy comes mostly from sugar and fat: 206 kcal per 100 g. Nothing earns credit beyond the small protein, so the grade stays at the bottom.

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 list is milk solids, sugar, mango pulp (8%) and sugar syrup, followed by a long run of additives. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted at face value.

Carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most ingredient points. Guar gum, xanthan gum, the emulsifier (471), the artificial flavouring, tartrazine (102) and sunset yellow (110) each cost further points.

Cream is named in the product name but absent from the list, which costs ingredient points under the label rules and sets the [L] flag.

03 Load risk: why 4

Saturated fat is 7.0 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, and is the biggest driver. Free sugar is 16.6 g per 100 g, counting the sugar syrup that is listed but not in the added-sugar line.

Trans fat is declared at 0.4 g per 100 g. Sodium is 49 mg per 100 g and adds little. Energy adds nothing extra, so the risk grade is a 4.

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

Does Amul Gold King Alphonso Ice Cream Tub live up to its claims?

The mango pulp is real but only 8%, and the name says ice cream while no cream is listed. That missing cream is the reason for the [L] flag.

  • Product name

    “Amul King Alphonso Gold Ice Cream”

    Misleading

    Cream is named in the product name but is not in the ingredient list. The list begins with milk solids and sugar.

  • Retail listing

    “8% mango pulp”

    Partly true

    The mango pulp is real and declared at 8%. Artificial mango flavouring is listed as well, and the pack does not name the variety in the list.

  • On the pack

    “Real Milk. Real Ice Cream.”

    Be careful

    Milk solids lead the list, but sugar, sugar syrup, four stabilisers, an emulsifier, artificial flavouring and two colours follow.

  • Retail listing

    “Mango-flavoured with 8% mango pulp”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows a mango-flavoured ice cream with 8% mango pulp and mentions no colours or flavouring, while the pack lists artificial mango flavouring and colours 102 and 110.

What's in Amul Gold King Alphonso Ice Cream Tub?

Milk solids, sugar and sugar syrup lead, with 8% mango pulp. Two colours, four stabilisers, an emulsifier and artificial flavouring are the additives to watch.

How we rate additives →

13 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 2 moderate concern, 1 low concern. 4 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.

The ingredient list, read for you

Milk solids come first, then sugar, then mango pulp at 8% and a sugar syrup made of sugar and water. Mango pulp is the only ingredient with a declared share. The emulsifier (471) keeps fat and water mixed, the stabilisers (407, 466, 415, 412) keep it smooth, and artificial mango flavouring and colours 102 and 110 supply the taste and the yellow-orange look.

The label numbers, read for you

Sugar decides the score. Total sugar is 21.7 g per 100 g, and 16.6 g is counted as free sugar because the sugar syrup is listed. A 55 g scoop holds about 9.1 g of free sugar. Saturated fat is 7.0 g per 100 g, or 3.9 g per scoop, and trans fat is declared at 0.4 g per 100 g.

Protein is small at 3.5 g per 100 g, 1.9 g per scoop. Sodium is low at 49 mg per 100 g. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.

What the additives do

Tartrazine (moderate concern): lemon-yellow colour. A synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye and one of the Southampton Six. The EU requires a hyperactivity warning on every product containing it. More on Tartrazine.

Sunset Yellow FCF (moderate concern): orange or yellow colour. A synthetic orange azo dye and one of the Southampton Six. The EU requires a hyperactivity warning on foods that contain it. More on Sunset Yellow FCF.

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); INS 466; INS 415; INS 412.

Ingredients to watch

  • Colours 102 (Tartrazine) and 110 (Sunset Yellow FCF)Worth watching

    Synthetic dyes that give the ice cream its deep yellow-orange mango colour. They cost ingredient points.

  • Stabilisers 466 (carboxymethyl cellulose), 412 (guar gum), 415 (xanthan gum)Worth watching

    Thickening gums that keep the texture smooth and slow ice crystals forming. They cost ingredient points.

  • Emulsifier 471 (mono- and diglycerides)Worth watching

    Keeps fat and water mixed so the ice cream stays smooth and scoopable. It costs ingredient points.

  • Artificial flavouring substances (mango)Worth watching

    Adds mango taste on top of the 8% pulp. It costs ingredient points.

  • Stabiliser 407 (carrageenan)Fine

    A seaweed-derived gum that gives body and stops the mix separating. It costs ingredient points.

What it doesn’t have

  • No cream is listed, although the name says ice cream.
  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.

What to know about Amul Gold King Alphonso Ice Cream Tub

Mango ice cream with no cream and two dyes

A 1 L tub (553 g) of mango ice cream made from milk solids, sugar and sugar syrup, with mango pulp declared at 8%. Emulsifier, four stabilisers, artificial mango flavouring and two colours (102 and 110) complete the list. It is a family-tub dessert for people who want the Alphonso mango taste at a familiar price.

A 100 mL scoop is 55 g and gives 113 kcal, 1.9 g protein, 3.9 g saturated fat and about 9.1 g of free sugar. Per 100 g the panel reads 206 kcal, 7.0 g saturated fat and 21.7 g total sugar. The protein is small, and no fibre or vitamins are declared.

The pack says Real Milk. Real Ice Cream., and milk solids do lead the list, but no cream is listed, which is what sets the [L] flag. The mango is real, but it is 8% of the tub, and artificial mango flavouring and two colours do part of the work. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC4.

An occasional dessert for most adults, and rarely for children or anyone watching blood sugar, because of the 16.6 g free sugar per 100 g and the two colours.
