Go Zero Mango Duet Guilt Free Ice Cream Stick

Go Zero Mango Duet is a 60 ml (53 g) two-layer stick: a vanilla ice cream layer (54%) and a mango ice candy layer (46%), sweetened with maltitol, oligofructose and stevia, with mango pulp (25%) and apple juice concentrate. The pack prints the panel per 60 ml serve, converted here to per 100 ml.

CleanPlate scores it [L]EC2. 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 mango pulp), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, polysorbate 80, guar gum and methylcellulose. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "0 ADDED SUGAR" does not hold: apple juice concentrate, a free-sugar ingredient, is listed. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 33 mg, free sugar 4.6 g, saturated fat 2.5 g per 100 ml).

Vanilla ice cream layer (54%): milk and milk solids (cream, skimmed milk powder), maltitol, oligofructose, two emulsifiers, three stabilisers and stevia. Mango ice candy layer (46%): water, mango pulp (25%), maltitol, oligofructose, apple juice concentrate, more milk solids, emulsifiers, four stabilisers and stevia.

Per 100 ml: 102 kcal, 4 g fat of which 2.5 g saturated, 6.67 g sugar of which 0 g added, 3.5 g fibre, 1.83 g protein, 33 mg sodium. The declared 61 kcal per serve is kept: the Atwater sum is about 11% higher because maltitol and oligofructose give less than 4 kcal per g. The apple juice concentrate is counted as free sugar.
