Our take
CleanPlate reviewPistachio paste and fresh milk, with no emulsifiers
Frozen Fun Sicilian Pistachio Gelato is a 100 ml gelato made from fresh milk, sugar, pure Sicilian pistachio paste, fresh cream, skimmed milk powder, roasted pistachio, alpha-cyclodextrin and whey protein. It lists no emulsifier, stabiliser, colour or flavouring. The panel is printed per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it EA2. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by fresh milk, sugar and pure sicilian pistachio paste), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 85.8 mg, free sugar 10.6 g, saturated fat 3.56 g per 100 ml).
Claims vs reality
What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.
- Product namePartly true
“Sicilian Pistachio”
Pistachio paste and roasted pistachio are both listed but neither has a share.
- On the packBe careful
“No trans fat”
The claim is printed, but the nutrition panel has no trans fat line to confirm it.
- On the packHolds
“No artificial flavours / colours / preservatives”
No flavouring, colour or preservative is listed.
- On the packPartly true
“Made with natural ingredients”
The list is simple, but alpha-cyclodextrin is a processed starch derivative.

Per 100 ml: 154 kcal, 6.94 g fat of which 3.56 g saturated, 15.3 g sugar of which 10.6 g added, 3.38 g protein, 85.8 mg sodium. The panel prints no trans fat line, so the label loses 2 points and the score is provisional; the fat here is dairy fat.
