Our take

CleanPlate review

Pistachio 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 name

    “Saffron Pista Kulfi”

    Misleading

    Pistachio is only 0.5%, below the 2% line for a named ingredient, and cashew is four times as much.

  • On the pack

    “CONTAINS NATURE IDENTICAL SAFFRON FLAVOURING SUBSTANCES”

    Be careful

    The pack prints this line, but the ingredient list shows saffron only; the flavouring is counted here as an additive.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Milk solid (milk, cream), sugar, cashew (2%), almond (1.5%), pistachio (0.5%) and saffron.

Per 100 ml: 323 kcal, 19.8 g fat of which 11.3 g saturated, 26.2 g sugar of which 15.3 g added, 7.56 g protein, 114 mg sodium. Cholesterol is printed in a unit that cannot be right (2.1 g per serve) and is not used. Trans fat is declared 0 g and is accepted because no hydrogenated fat is listed. The flavouring line on the back is counted once as a flavouring.

    15.3 g per 100 ml.

  • EnergyWorth watching

    323 kcal per 100 ml, from cream and milk solids.

Common misconceptions

Pistachio is 0.5%; cashew is four times as much.

Myth: "A short list means no flavouring"

The back says it contains nature-identical saffron flavouring, which the list does not show.
