Amul Vanilla Ice Cream Cup (No Added Sugar)

Amul Vanilla (No Added Sugar) is a 125 ml (67 g) cup of ice cream made from milk solids, polydextrose and fructo-oligosaccharides, with an emulsifier, four stabilisers, artificial vanilla flavouring, two probiotic strains and sucralose. The pack front says Sugar Free. The pack prints the panel per 67 g serve, converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EC2. 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 milk solids, polydextrose and fructo-oligosaccharides), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, sucralose and flavouring. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 53.7 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 3.58 g per 100 g).

Milk solids, polydextrose, fructo-oligosaccharides, an emulsifier (471), four stabilisers (460, 412, 466, 407), artificial vanilla flavouring, two probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis, minimum 10^6 CFU per mL) and sucralose.

Per 100 g: 128 kcal, 5.97 g fat of which 3.58 g saturated, 5.97 g sugar of which 0 g added, 3.88 g protein, 53.7 mg sodium. Declared energy 128 kcal is kept; the Atwater sum is 164 kcal (+28%), because most of the carbohydrate is polydextrose and fructo-oligosaccharides, which give far less than 4 kcal per g. Fibre is not declared although both are fibres. Trans fat (0.3 g per 100 g) is not counted because milk solids are the only fat source listed. A sugar free claim usually means under 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g, which this cup does not meet; it is recorded as care. The pack warns that polydextrose may have a laxative effect.
