What to know about Arun Butterscotch Ice Cream Cone
A butterscotch cone with 9.9 g saturated fat
Arun Butterscotch Ice Cream Cone is a single-serve cone: butterscotch flavoured ice cream (66%) made from milk solids, sugar, water and liquid glucose, a spray of cocoa flavoured confectionery and sugar boiled confectionery with cashew (together 20%), and a cocoa wafer cone (14%). It is a pocket-money, after-dinner or hot-day treat.
One piece is 100 ml, 80 g net, and has 261.5 kcal, 3.5 g protein, 29.8 g total sugar of which 19.2 g is added, 13.9 g fat and 9.9 g saturated fat. Fibre is 0.8 g and sodium is low at 39.5 mg. The calories come mostly from sugar and fat, and the saturated fat comes from milk solids, coconut oil and palm kernel oil.
The pack says made with milk and cream, but the ingredient list names milk solids and no cream, and no cream percentage is given. The butterscotch taste comes from artificial flavouring, and the ice cream is coloured with tartrazine (102). CleanPlate scores it EC4.
Why Arun Butterscotch Ice Cream Cone scores EC4
Nutrition is an E: 261.5 kcal with only 3.5 g protein and 0.8 g fibre. Ingredients are a C because of a dye, caramel colour and gums. Risk is a 4 on 9.9 g saturated fat and 19.2 g added sugar.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 3.5 g
- Fibre
- 0.8 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 262 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Energy is 261.5 kcal per 100 ml, and one cone is that full amount. Protein is 3.5 g, mostly from milk solids, and fibre is only 0.8 g, so there is little to earn credit.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. Sugar and fat provide most of the calories.
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
Ice cream leads at 66%, with milk solids, sugar, water and liquid glucose. The artificial butterscotch flavouring, tartrazine (102) and caramel IV (150d) in the cone are the biggest costs in ingredient points, with the gums (410, 412) and emulsifiers (471, 477, 322) adding smaller ones.
The name and front stress milk and cream, but no cream percentage is declared and cream is not named in the list. That costs a small label point.

High risk
- Added sugar
- 19.2 g
- Sodium
- 39.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 9.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0.3 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 9.9 g per 100 ml, about double the 5 g high line, from milk solids, coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Added sugar at 19.2 g comes next.
Declared trans fat is 0.3 g. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so it is accepted as declared. Sodium is low at 39.5 mg and plays almost no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Arun Butterscotch Ice Cream Cone live up to its claims?
The cocoa spray and the butterscotch flavoured name hold up. Made with milk and cream is only partly borne out: milk solids are listed, but cream is not named and no percentage is given.
- On the packPartly true
“Butterscotch Flavoured Ice Cream”
An honest flavoured name: the butterscotch taste comes from artificial flavouring substances, not from a butterscotch ingredient.
- On the packBe careful
“Made with milk & cream”
Milk solids lead the ice cream, but cream is not named in the list and no cream percentage is declared. That costs a small label point.
- On the packHolds
“Wafer cone sprayed with cocoa flavored confectionery”
The spraying and toppings are 20% of the cone, and cocoa solids are listed in the confectionery.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Made from the finest quality ingredients”
A general promise. The list includes artificial flavouring, tartrazine (102), caramel colour (150d) and refined wheat flour.
What's in Arun Butterscotch Ice Cream Cone?
Ice cream leads the list at 66%, followed by a cocoa spray and a wafer cone. Watch the saturated fat, the added sugar and the tartrazine colour.
The ingredient list, read for you
Ice cream (66%) comes first: milk solids, sugar, water and liquid glucose, set with emulsifiers (471, 477) and stabilisers (410, 412), then artificial butterscotch flavouring and tartrazine (102) for colour. The cocoa spray adds coconut and palm kernel oil, sugar, maltodextrin, milk solids and cocoa solids, and a sugar boiled confectionery (5%) adds cashew.
The wafer cone (14%) is water, refined wheat flour (maida), sugar, palm kernel oil and cocoa solids, with lecithin (322) and caramel colour (150d).
Ingredients to watch
- Saturated fatConcern
9.9 g per 100 ml, about double the 5 g high line, from milk solids and coconut and palm kernel oils. One cone has 9.9 g.
- Added sugarConcern
19.2 g added sugar per cone, within 29.8 g of total sugar. Sugar appears in the ice cream, the spray and the wafer.
- Tartrazine (102) and caramel IV (150d)Worth watching
Two colours, one in the ice cream and one in the cone. Both cost ingredient points, and tartrazine is a reason for extra care with children.
- Gums and emulsifiersWorth watching
Locust bean gum, guar gum and emulsifiers 471, 477 and 322 each cost a little in the ingredient grade. They give the ice cream its smooth texture.
- SodiumFine
39.5 mg per cone, which is low.
What it doesn’t have
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the pack.
- No percentage is given for the cream the pack mentions.
