Our take

CleanPlate review

Sugar-free dark chocolate ice cream, 97 kcal

Go Zero Belgian Dark Chocolate is a 100 ml frozen cup made with milk and milk solids, cocoa solids and cocoa mass, sweetened with maltitol, oligofructose and stevia instead of sugar, with an emulsifier and stabiliser blend.

CleanPlate scores it EC1. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk & milk solids, oligofructose and cocoa solids), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, polysorbate 80, guar gum and methylcellulose. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 32 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 3.4 g per 100 ml).

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Milk and milk solids (cream, skimmed milk powder), maltitol, oligofructose, cocoa solids, cocoa mass, emulsifier (471, 433), stabilizer (412, 407, 461) and stevia.

Per 100 ml: 97 kcal, 5.3 g fat of which 3.4 g saturated, 3 g sugar of which 0 g added, 3 g fibre, 2.7 g protein, 32 mg sodium. Declared energy is kept; the Atwater sum is 120 kcal because maltitol and oligofructose give far less than 4 kcal per g. Shares of oligofructose (4.5%) and cocoa are hand estimates.

Common misconceptions

Maltitol, stevia and four gums and emulsifiers are added.

Myth: "Belgian chocolate means a lot of chocolate"
