Our take

CleanPlate review

Kulfi stick with 5% nuts and artificial rabri flavour

FruBon Rabri Malai Kulfi is a 50 g (60 ml) kulfi stick made with milk solids, sugar, almonds (3%), cashew nuts (2%) and liquid glucose, with an emulsifier, four stabilisers and artificial rabri flavouring, marked veg. The panel is printed per 100 g and per 50 g serve.

CleanPlate scores it EC3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and almonds), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring and locust bean gum. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (8.1 g per 100 g) and free sugar (18.8 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • Product name

    “Rabri Malai Kulfi”

    Partly true

    The rabri taste is artificial flavouring (the list says so); milk solids, almonds and cashew nuts are the real ingredients.

  • Retail listing

    “Enriched with roasted almonds, cashews and pistachios”

    Partly true

    The pack lists almonds (3%) and cashew nuts (2%) and no pistachio.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Water, milk solids, sugar, almonds (3%), cashew nuts (2%), liquid glucose, emulsifier 471, stabilisers (407, 410, 412, 466) and artificial flavouring substances (rabri flavour).

Per 100 g: 234 kcal, 12.8 g fat of which 8.1 g saturated, 23.2 g sugar of which 18.8 g added, 4.4 g protein, 58 mg sodium. The net quantity line on the side is not legible, so 50 g / 60 ml is taken from the listing and should be checked against the pack. The listing description names pistachios that the pack list does not, so the pack is used. Trans fat (0.5 g per 100 g) is not counted because milk solids are the only fat source listed. The pack prints no allergen line in the images read.

Ingredients to watch

  • Saturated fatConcern

    8.1 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line.

  • Added sugarWorth watching

    18.8 g per 100 g, close to the 22.5 g high line.

  • GumsWorth watching

    Carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost 6 points each.

  • NutsFine

    Almonds (3%) and cashew nuts (2%) are declared with percentages.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Rabri malai means made with rabri"

The rabri taste is artificial flavouring.

Myth: "Kulfi sticks are all nuts and milk"

Nuts are 5% and sugar is the third ingredient.
