Our take

CleanPlate review

Salted butter caramel, but no butter listed

Frozen Fun Salted Butter Caramel Gelato is a 100 ml gelato of fresh milk, sugar, caramelised sugar, whole milk powder, fresh cream, salt, skimmed milk powder, milk proteins and sweetened condensed milk, with natural caramel flavouring.

CleanPlate scores it [L]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 fresh milk, sugar and caramelised sugar). The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the butter named on the pack is not in the ingredient list. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (5.14 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (11 g per 100 ml).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Salted Butter Caramel”

    Misleading

    The ingredient list has no butter; the milk fat comes from fresh cream and milk, and the caramel taste from caramelised sugar and natural flavouring.

  • On the pack

    “No trans fat”

    Holds

    No hydrogenated fat is listed, though the panel prints no trans fat line to confirm it.

  • On the pack

    “No artificial flavours”

    Holds

    Only natural caramel flavouring is listed.

  • On the pack

    “No preservatives”

    Holds

    No preservative is listed.
