Our take
CleanPlate reviewHazelnut paste is real, with layer shares declared
Baskin Robbins Hazelnut is a 65 ml stick: an ice cream layer (67%) of water, milk solids, sugar, hazelnut paste, cocoa solids (2%) and two emulsifiers and stabilisers, coated by an outer layer (33%) of milk choco-dip with choco-coated rice and wheat crispies (2%) and roasted hazelnuts (1%). The pack prints the panel per 65 ml serve, converted here to per 100 g.
CleanPlate scores it EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and hazelnut paste), with additives that cost points: flavouring, locust bean gum, guar gum and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (10.5 g per 100 g) and free sugar (16.3 g per 100 g).
