Dairy Day Triple Bar Three Layered Choco Ice Cream Stick
Published · Updated
Dairy Day Triple Bar is a chocolate frozen dessert stick with a compound coating and wheat crisps, not a dairy ice cream. It scores [L]ED4: nutrition is lowest because of little protein and plenty of fat, ingredients lose points for five dyes, stabilisers and flavouring, and risk is high on saturated fat. A rare treat for children, an occasional one for adults.

What to know about Dairy Day Triple Bar Three Layered Choco Ice Cream Stick
A choco stick with no cream and five dyes
A 70 ml (55 g) three-layer stick: a choco compound coating (45%) made of sugar, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, cocoa solids and milk solids, a few wheat crisps (3%), and a chocolate frozen dessert centre (55%) of water, milk solids, sugar, palm kernel and coconut oil and cocoa powder. It is a pocket-money treat sold on fun and chocolate.
One stick gives 192 kcal, 2.29 g protein, 12.81 g added sugar and 11.25 g saturated fat. Per 100 ml that is 273.87 kcal, 18.3 g added sugar and 16.07 g saturated fat. Sodium is low at 16.45 mg per stick, and no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared.
The name says ice cream, but the list has no cream. The pack itself calls the centre a frozen dessert and states it holds 11% edible vegetable oil. Chocolate comes through as flavouring and cocoa, and the centre carries five synthetic colours. CleanPlate scores it [L]ED4.
Does Dairy Day Triple Bar Three Layered Choco Ice Cream Stick live up to its claims?
The ice cream name does not hold, because no cream is listed and the pack calls the centre a frozen dessert. The 11% vegetable oil statement holds, and the choco coating is real but cocoa is small.
- Product nameMisleading
“Ice Cream Stick”
No cream is listed. The pack calls the centre a chocolate frozen dessert, and it contains 11% edible vegetable oil.
- Product namePartly true
“Three Layered Choco Stick”
Cocoa solids and cocoa powder are listed, but they follow sugar, oil and milk solids, and chocolate flavouring is added as well.
- On the packHolds
“Frozen dessert contains 11% edible vegetable oil”
The list shows palm kernel oil and coconut oil as the fat, which matches the statement and explains the high saturated fat.
Why Dairy Day Triple Bar Three Layered Choco Ice Cream Stick scores [L]ED4
Nutrition is an E on 3.27 g protein per 100 ml and no fibre. Ingredients are a D: five dyes, carrageenan and polysorbate 80 cost points, plus the [L] for missing cream. Risk is a 4 on 16.07 g saturated fat.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 3.27 g per 100 ml, which is 2.29 g in one stick, and the largest share comes from the milk solids in the frozen dessert. Protein is too low to earn credit.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade, and the energy comes mostly from fat and sugar.
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
The base is sugar, palm kernel oil, coconut oil and milk solids. Cocoa is present but sits behind them, and the pack uses nature-identical and artificial chocolate flavouring alongside it.
Carrageenan (407) and polysorbate 80 (433) each cost ingredient points, and so do methylcellulose (461), mono- and diglycerides (471), lecithin (322) and the flavouring. The five synthetic colours (102, 110, 122, 133, 143) each cost ingredient points too.
The [L] comes from label integrity: a chocolate flavouring is listed while real chocolate is not among the top three ingredients, and the cream in the name is absent from the list.

High risk
- Added sugar
- 18.3 g
- Sodium
- 23.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 16.1 g
- Trans fat
- 0.04 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the main driver: 16.07 g per 100 ml, over three times the 5 g high line. One stick has 11.25 g.
Added sugar is 18.3 g per 100 ml, 12.81 g per stick, which adds to the load. Sodium is low at 23.5 mg per 100 ml and trans fat is 0.04 g, so they play a small part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
