Our take
CleanPlate reviewAlmond is named but not declared
Mimo Almond Crunch is an 80 ml stick with an inner layer of water, milk solids, sugar, liquid glucose and dextrose, coated in dark compound covering (sugar, palm kernel and palm oil, cocoa solids) with roasted almond. The back calls it a dark compound covering coated ice cream. The pack prints the panel per 80 ml serve, converted here to per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it EC4. 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 solids, sugar and liquid glucose), with additives that cost points: carrageenan, flavouring, locust bean gum and guar gum. The 4 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (11.8 g per 100 ml) and free sugar (17.5 g per 100 ml).
