Why Arun Vanilla Ice Cream Tub scores [L]EC3
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 2.4 g and fibre is 0 per 100 ml. Ingredients are a C with gums, emulsifiers, flavouring and the missing vanilla and cream costing points, and risk is a 3.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 2.4 g
- Fibre
- 0 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 121 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.4 g per 100 ml and fibre is 0 g, so there is nothing to lift the grade. The largest protein source is milk solids, and no vitamins or minerals are declared.
Energy is 121 kcal per serve, so the low grade comes from the lack of any nutritional return, not from a high calorie count.
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.

- Flagged

- Artificial flavour or colour

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The list is short and led by milk solids, sugar, water and liquid glucose. Five additives each cost ingredient points: artificial flavouring, locust bean gum (410), guar gum (412), mono- and diglycerides (471) and propylene glycol esters (477).
The name promises vanilla and cream, and neither is in the list. Each absence costs label-integrity points and together they set the [L] flag. No percentages are declared, which is a further label gap.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 8.8 g
- Sodium
- 38.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 4 g
- Trans fat
- 0.3 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the largest part of the risk number at 4 g per 100 ml, followed by added sugar at 8.8 g. Trans fat is declared at 0.3 g, and with no hydrogenated fat in the list it is accepted as declared.
Sodium is low at 38.5 mg and adds very little. Together the parts land on a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Arun Vanilla Ice Cream Tub live up to its claims?
The name promises vanilla and cream, and the list has neither, which is why it carries [L]. Milk solids do lead the list, and the retailer page and pack disagree on sugar.
- Product nameMisleading
“Vanilla Ice Cream”
No vanilla and no cream appear in the ingredient list. The flavour comes from artificial flavouring substances.
- On the packBe careful
“Made with MILK & CREAM”
Milk solids lead the list, so milk is real, but cream is not listed anywhere in it.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Total sugars on the listing”
The retailer page shows total sugars of 8.8 g, the pack shows 13.2 g total and 8.8 g added per 100 ml.
What's in Arun Vanilla Ice Cream Tub?

The ingredient list, read for you

Emulsifiers (471, 477) keep the fat and water mixed, stabilizers (410, 412) keep it smooth and slow the ice crystals, and artificial vanilla flavouring substances provide the taste. No percentages are declared, and neither cream nor real vanilla is listed.
