Our take

CleanPlate review

Rabdi kulfi: four dyes and two gums

Kwality Wall's Kulfeez Shahi Rabdi Kulfi is a 60 g frozen kulfi stick made from water, milk solids and sugar, with two emulsifiers, four stabilisers, a nature-identical rabdi flavouring and four synthetic food colours. The panel is printed per 60 g serve and 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 a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by milk solids and sugar), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, flavouring and tartrazine. A red flag (Southampton Six x3+) cuts the score by 40%. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (9.33 g per 100 g) and free sugar (16.2 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

  • On the pack

    “Made with Milk”

    Holds

    Milk solids are the second ingredient.

  • Product name

    “Shahi Rabdi Kulfi”

    Be careful

    The pack footnote says the rabdi is an added flavour, not rabdi.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Water, milk solids, sugar, emulsifiers (471, 435), stabilizers (412, 410, 407, 466), nature identical (rabdi) flavouring substance and food colours (110, 102, 122, 132).

Per 100 g: 237 kcal, 14 g fat of which 9.33 g saturated, 23 g sugar of which 16.2 g added, 0 g fibre, 4.5 g protein, 65 mg sodium. The pack footnote reads '#Added Rabdi flavour' and '*This represents Milk Solids in ingredient list', so the flavour name is honest. Net weight 60 g is read from small print. The panel prints 0.67 g trans fat, counted as natural dairy trans fat.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Kulfi is made by boiling milk down"

This one starts with water and milk solids, with gums to hold the texture.

Myth: "The orange colour comes from saffron"

No saffron is listed; four synthetic dyes give the colour.
