Our take
CleanPlate reviewMilk, mango pulp and sugar, nothing else
NIC Alphonso Mango Ice Cream is a 500 ml tub with three ingredients in this order: milk, Alphonso mango pulp and sugar. The panel is printed 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 milk, alphonso mango pulp and sugar), and almost no additives. The 2 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 34.8 mg, free sugar 8.6 g, saturated fat 4.3 g per 100 ml).
