Our take

CleanPlate review

Mango pulp is 10%, with two synthetic dyes

Kwality Wall's Alphonso Mango Ice Cream is a 700 ml tub of water, milk solids and sugar with 10% Alphonso mango pulp, liquid glucose, an emulsifier, five stabilisers, mango flavouring and two synthetic colours. The pack prints the panel per 100 ml serve (53 g), converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [R]ED3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The D for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by milk solids, sugar and alphonso mango pulp), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring and tartrazine. A red flag (Southampton Six x2) cuts the score by 30%. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (16 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.66 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • Product name

    “Alphonso Mango Ice Cream”

    Partly true

    Alphonso mango pulp is 10%, but the list also adds natural and artificial mango flavouring.

  • On the pack

    “Made with Milk”

    Holds

    Milk solids (skimmed milk powder, milk fat, milk) follow the water, and no vegetable fat is listed.

How ED3 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

Saturated fat

Trans fat
0.32 g

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[R] Contains an ingredient on our red-flag list (such as a partially hydrogenated oil or a flagged synthetic dye), which cuts the ingredient grade.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Water, milk solids (skimmed milk powder, milk fat, milk) and sugar, then Alphonso mango pulp (10%), liquid glucose, an emulsifier, five stabilisers, natural and artificial mango flavouring, an acidity regulator and two colours (INS 102, 110).

Per 100 g: 191 kcal, 8.49 g fat of which 5.66 g saturated, 23 g sugar of which 16 g added, 0.38 g fibre, 3.58 g protein, 66 mg sodium. The listing's added sugar of 8.5 g is the per-serve figure, so the pack conversion (16 g per 100 g) is used. Trans fat (0.32 g per 100 g) is not counted because milk fat is the only fat listed.

Ingredients to watch

  • Synthetic dyesConcern

    Tartrazine (102) and sunset yellow (110) are two of the Southampton Six, so the red flag applies.

  • Added sugarConcern

    16 g per 100 g, with 23 g total sugar.

  • Gums and emulsifierWorth watching

    Carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose cost 6 points each, and the additives score is 0 of 25.

  • Mango pulpFine

    Declared at 10%.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Mango ice cream is mostly mango"

Mango pulp is 10%; the rest is water, milk solids, sugar and glucose.

Myth: "The yellow-orange colour comes from the mango"

Two synthetic dyes (INS 102, 110) are on the list.
