Why Dairy Day Double Blackcurrant Strawberry Ice Cream Cone scores [L]ED4

Nutrition is an E: little protein and nothing declared to offset the sugar and fat. Ingredients are a D because of dyes, flavours and stabilisers, and risk is a 4 on 9.98 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 3.81 g per 100 g, about 2.9 g in one 76 g cone, and the largest share comes from milk solids. Sugar is 28.64 g per 100 g and fat is 14.8 g, so the energy is mostly sugar and fat.

No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Nutrition earns no credit at all.

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 D

Milk solids, water, the wafer cone and sugar lead the list. The choco compound coating is built on palm kernel oil, palm oil and sugar, and the ice cream components carry no declared percentage.

The stabilisers and emulsifiers cost ingredient points: carrageenan (407) and polysorbate 80 (433) cost the most, then guar gum (412), hydroxypropyl starch (1440), mono- and diglycerides (471), sodium alginate (401) and lecithin (322). The dyes carmoisine (122) and brilliant blue (133) and the nature-identical flavours cost further points.

Strawberry and cream are named on the pack but absent from the list, which costs label-integrity points and sets the [L].

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Saturated fat

Trans fat
0.05 g

03 Load risk: why 4

Saturated fat and sugar drive the risk number. Saturated fat is 9.98 g per 100 g, about twice the 5 g high line, and one cone has 7.6 g. Added sugar is 21.8 g per 100 g, or 16.6 g per cone.

Sodium (72 mg per 100 g, about 55 mg per cone), trans fat (0.05 g per 100 g) and energy (292 kcal per 100 g) add only a little.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Dairy Day Double Blackcurrant Strawberry Ice Cream Cone live up to its claims?

The name promises strawberry and cream, and neither is in the ingredient list, so that claim is misleading. The medium fat label and the fruity tartness need care: 14.8 g fat per 100 g.

  • Product name

    “Blackcurrant Strawberry Ice Cream”

    Misleading

    No strawberry and no cream is listed. The base is milk solids, and the strawberry and blackcurrant taste comes from nature-identical flavours.

  • On the pack

    “Medium Fat Ice Cream”

    Be careful

    The panel shows 14.8 g fat per 100 g, and 9.98 g of that is saturated, about two thirds. One cone has about 11 g fat.

  • Retail listing

    “Perfectly balancing sweetness and fruity tartness”

    Be careful

    No fruit is listed, so the tartness comes from flavours. The sweetness is real: 21.8 g added sugar per 100 g.

What's in Dairy Day Double Blackcurrant Strawberry Ice Cream Cone?

Milk solids, water, a wafer cone, sugar and a palm-oil coating lead the list. Watch the saturated fat, added sugar, stabilisers and the two dyes.

How we rate additives →

25 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 moderate concern, 2 low concern. 7 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.

The ingredient list, read for you

Milk solids and water make the ice cream, followed by the wafer cone (16%), sugar and the choco compound coating (14%). The coating's fat is palm kernel oil and palm oil, with sugar, cocoa solids, lecithin and a vanilla nature-identical flavour. White compound chips are 4%.

Emulsifiers (471, 433) and stabilisers (412, 407, 401, 1440) give the ice cream its smooth, slow-melting body. Two dyes (122, 133) colour it, and nature-identical strawberry and blackcurrant flavours give the fruit taste. No percentage is given for the ice cream parts.

What the additives do

Carmoisine (moderate concern): pink, red or maroon colour. A synthetic red azo dye (also called azorubine) and one of the Southampton Six. It is not approved for food use in the United States. More on Carmoisine.

Palm oil (low concern): cheap, heat-stable frying fat. A cheap, stable frying oil that is about half saturated fat. Very common in Indian packaged snacks. More on Palm oil.

Carrageenan (low concern): thickener and stabiliser. A seaweed-derived thickener used in dairy drinks and desserts. Food-grade carrageenan is approved, but its effect on the gut is debated. More on Carrageenan.

Ingredients to watch

  • Strawberry and cream missing from the listConcern

    The name promises both, but the list has milk solids and flavours instead. This is a hollow label promise and sets the [L] flag.

  • Saturated fatConcern

    9.98 g per 100 g, about twice the 5 g high line, from the palm oils and coconut oil. One cone has 7.6 g.

  • Added sugarWorth watching

    21.8 g per 100 g, about 16.6 g in one cone, from the ice cream, the cone and the coating.

  • Stabilisers, emulsifiers and dyesWorth watching

    Carrageenan (407), polysorbate 80 (433), carmoisine (122) and brilliant blue (133), among others, cost ingredient points.

  • Trans fatFine

    0.05 g per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.
  • No fruit and no cream are in the list, despite the name.

What to know about Dairy Day Double Blackcurrant Strawberry Ice Cream Cone

A fruit-named cone with no fruit or cream listed

A 76 g (120 ml) ice cream cone with two fruit-flavoured ice creams, built from milk solids, water and sugar. It sits in a wafer cone (16%) of wheat flour, sugar and coconut oil, with a choco compound coating (14%) of palm kernel oil, palm oil, sugar and cocoa solids, plus white compound chips (4%). It is a pocket-money, hot-day treat aimed at children and families.

One cone gives about 222 kcal, 2.9 g protein, 16.6 g added sugar and 7.6 g saturated fat. Per 100 g that is 292 kcal, 21.8 g added sugar and 9.98 g saturated fat, so the saturated fat is about twice the 5 g high line. The pack calls it medium fat ice cream, and the panel shows 14.8 g fat per 100 g.

The name says blackcurrant, strawberry and ice cream. The list has no strawberry and no cream: the fruit taste comes from nature-identical flavours, and the base is milk solids. That missing strawberry and cream is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]ED4.
