Our take
CleanPlate reviewVegan and sugar free, but 471 mg sodium
Minus Thirty Mini Hazelnut is a 40 ml vegan ice cream stick made of almond milk, hazelnut paste (11.6%), almond butter, stevia, dark chocolate and coconut oil. The pack prints the panel per 40 ml serve; it is converted here to per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it EA2. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by almond milk, hazelnut paste and almond butter), with additives that cost points: steviol glycosides. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 471 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0.58 g per 100 ml).
