What to know about Dairy Day Bento Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake
Ice cream, cake and crush: 8.25 g saturated fat per 100 g
A 150 g (200 ml) heart-style bento dessert built from ice cream (43%), eggless red velvet cake with strawberry crush (34%) and a topping (23%) of cake crumble and cheese flavoured non dairy whip cream. It is bought as a ready-made celebration treat, for sharing or for one person with a sweet tooth.
Per 100 g it has 247.7 kcal, 4.3 g protein, 28.56 g total sugar (17.2 g of it added) and 10.5 g fat, of which 8.25 g is saturated. The pack's serve is 100 ml (75 g), which is 186 kcal, and the pack holds two serves, so the whole tub is about 372 kcal.
The pack says 100% veg eggless cake, and the ingredient list agrees: no egg is listed. The red colour of the red velvet comes from added colours, not from the cake alone. CleanPlate scores it EC3.
Why Dairy Day Bento Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake scores EC3

Very low nutrient density

- Energy

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 4.3 g per 100 g, and the largest share comes from the cake and its milk solids. No fibre is declared, and carbohydrate is 34 g per 100 g, of which 28.56 g is sugar.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing offsets the sugar and fat. With sugar and a refined wheat base doing most of the work, the grade is the lowest.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The list has fifteen additives or additive groups that cost ingredient points. Colours are the main weight: 110, 122, 124 and 129 are synthetic dyes, 150d is sulphite ammonia caramel, and 162 is beet red. Calcium phosphates (341) in the cake's raising agent also cost points.
Emulsifiers 471 and 477, the gums 410, 412 and 415, and pectin (440) cost smaller amounts, as do the artificial cheese flavour in the ice cream and the nature identical strawberry flavour in the crush. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the label makes no hollow promise, so the grade holds at a C.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 17.2 g
- Sodium
- 92.2 mg
- Saturated fat
- 8.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0.03 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 8.25 g per 100 g, over the 5 g high line, and about 6.2 g in a 75 g serve. Added sugar of 17.2 g per 100 g (about 12.9 g per serve) is the second.
Sodium is low at 92 mg per 100 g, and trans fat is declared at 0.03 g with no hydrogenated fat in the list, so both add little. Together the risk lands on a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
