Our take

CleanPlate review

A frozen dessert cone with three synthetic dyes

Kwality Wall's Cornetto Choco Brownie is a frozen dessert cone, not ice cream, made with water, a compound coating (20.6%), a wafer biscuit cone (15.7%), sugar, chocolate flavoured confectionery (5.4%), dried brownie pieces (5.4%), palm oil, milk solids and salted almond praline (1.4%), with soy protein, four stabilisers and colours. The pack prints the panel for the 72 g single-serve cone, converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it [R]ED4. 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 sugar, soyabean oil and palm oil), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, caramel colour, flavouring and tartrazine. A red flag (Southampton Six x2) cuts the score by 30%. The 4 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (23.8 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (7.64 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • On the pack

    “Frozen Dessert”

    Holds

    The pack says frozen dessert, not ice cream, and the fats listed are palm, soyabean and coconut oils with cocoa butter, not milk fat.

  • On the pack

    “DISC CHOCO BROWNIE”

    Partly true

    Dried brownie pieces (5.4%) and a chocolate flavoured confectionery (5.4%) are declared, but the chocolate comes mainly from a compound coating.

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, compound coating (20.6%: sugar, soyabean oil, palm oil, cocoa solids, coconut oil, cocoa butter, an emulsifier, artificial vanillin), wafer biscuit cone (15.7%), sugar, chocolate flavoured confectionery (5.4%), dried brownie pieces (5.4%), palm oil, milk solids, liquid glucose, cocoa solids, salted almond praline (1.4%), an emulsifier, soy protein, four stabilisers, nature-identical flavouring and colours (E150d, E122, E133, E102).

Per 100 g: 347 kcal, 17.5 g fat of which 7.64 g saturated, 28.8 g sugar of which 23.8 g added, 1.39 g fibre, 4.44 g protein, 61.1 mg sodium. The nutrition panel comes from the pack photo you supplied (per 72 g serve: 250 kcal; its macros give 249 kcal) and matches the first of the two listing sets; the other set is wrong. Trans fat (0.14 g per 100 g) is not counted because the fats listed are palm, soyabean and coconut oils, cocoa butter and milk solids and none is hydrogenated.

Ingredients to watch

  • Synthetic dyesConcern

    Carmoisine (E122) and tartrazine (E102) are two of the Southampton Six, with brilliant blue (E133) as a third dye.

  • Added sugarConcern

    23.8 g per 100 g, above the 22.5 g high line, and 17.1 g in one cone.

  • AdditivesWorth watching

    Carrageenan costs 6 points and the additives score is 0 of 25.

  • Declared sharesFine

    Coating, cone, confectionery, brownie pieces and praline all carry percentages.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "A Cornetto is ice cream"

The pack calls it a frozen dessert made with vegetable oils.

Myth: "Choco brownie means chocolate and brownie"

Brownie pieces are 5.4% and the chocolate is mostly a compound coating.
