Our take
CleanPlate reviewPistachio is only 0.5% of a pista kulfi
Chillfi By Hocco Saffron Pista Kulfi is a 45 ml kulfi stick of milk solids (milk, cream), sugar, cashew (2%), almond (1.5%), pistachio (0.5%) and saffron, with no additive in the list, though the back adds a nature-identical saffron flavouring. The pack prints the panel per 45 ml serve, converted here to per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it [L]EB4. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml; its 7.56 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk solid, sugar and cashew), with additives that cost points: flavouring. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: pistachio is named on the pack but makes up only 0.5% of the product. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (11.3 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (15.3 g per 100 ml).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- Product nameMisleading
“Saffron Pista Kulfi”
Pistachio is only 0.5%, below the 2% line for a named ingredient, and cashew is four times as much.
- On the packBe careful
“CONTAINS NATURE IDENTICAL SAFFRON FLAVOURING SUBSTANCES”
The pack prints this line, but the ingredient list shows saffron only; the flavouring is counted here as an additive.
