Our take
CleanPlate reviewFrench vanilla sugar-free ice cream, 92 kcal
Go Zero French Vanilla is a 100 ml (60 g) frozen cup made from milk and milk solids, sweetened with maltitol, oligofructose and stevia. A natural colour (160 (i)) and nature-identical vanilla flavouring are added.
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 and oligofructose), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, flavouring, guar gum and methylcellulose. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 39.3 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 3 g per 100 ml).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Milk and milk solids (skimmed milk powder, butter), maltitol, oligofructose, permitted emulsifier (INS 471), stabilizer (INS 412, 407, 461), stevia, permitted natural colour (160 (i)) and nature identical (vanilla) flavouring substances.
Per 100 ml: 92 kcal, 4.7 g fat of which 3 g saturated, 3.8 g sugar of which 0 g added, 2.7 g fibre, 2 g protein, 39.3 mg sodium. Declared energy is kept; the Atwater sum is 105 kcal because maltitol and oligofructose give far less than 4 kcal per g. The colour is read as beta-carotene (160a(i)) and costs 1 point. Vanilla as a flavouring is not an ingredient penalty.
