Our take

CleanPlate review

Mostly ice cream, a 1.7% nut topping

Chillfi By Hocco Shahi Malai Matka Kulfi is a 100 ml matka cup: an ice cream base (98.3%) of milk solids and sugar with stabilisers, topped with a 1.7% sauce, saffron, pistachio and almond topping.

CleanPlate scores it EB3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The B for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by ice cream, milk solid and sugar), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring and locust bean gum. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (7.4 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (12.8 g per 100 ml).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Ice cream (98.3%) of milk solids (milk, cream), sugar, an emulsifier and six stabilisers, plus a topping (1.7%) of sauce (1.1%), saffron (<0.01%), pistachio (0.5%) and almonds (0.1%).

Per 100 ml: 192 kcal, 11.8 g fat of which 7.4 g saturated, 13.3 g sugar of which 12.8 g added, 3.3 g protein, 55 mg sodium. A side line says the pack contains permitted synthetic colours (INS 110, 102), but the ingredient list does not name them; the score follows the list.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    12.8 g per 100 ml; the 100 ml cup carries all of it.

  • Saturated fatConcern

    7.4 g per 100 ml, above the 5 g high line.

  • Gums and emulsifiersWorth watching

    Carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost 6 points each, and the additives take 23 of 25 points.

  • Fat sourceFine

    No hydrogenated fat and no added vegetable oil are listed.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Matka kulfi is made the traditional way"

The pack lists stabilisers, an emulsifier and a sauce; the traditional toppings are 1.7% of the cup.

Myth: "Cream makes it natural"

Cream is in the list, but so are carrageenan, guar, locust bean, xanthan and cellulose gums.
