Our take

CleanPlate review

Cake and sauce push added sugar to 24.5 g

OB & GOB Tiramisu & Fudge Ice Cream is a 200 ml (155 g) can of milk solids and water with chocolate sauce (29%), eggless chocolate cake (16%), sugar, dark chocolate flakes (3%) and coffee powder. The panel is printed per serve and converted here to per 100 g.

CleanPlate scores it EC3. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by milk solids, chocolate sauce and eggless chocolate cake), with additives that cost points: caramel colour, calcium phosphates and flavouring. The 3 for risk comes mainly from free sugar (24.5 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.99 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

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

On the pack
“Tiramisu & Fudge”
Partly true
A chocolate sauce (29%), chocolate cake (16%) and coffee powder are listed, but there is no mascarpone or cream as in a tiramisu, and the coffee flavour is nature-identical.

How EC3 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

Moderate risk

Added sugar: 24.5 g
Sodium: 92.2 mg
Saturated fat: 5 g
Trans fat: 0.07 g

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Milk solids and water lead, then chocolate sauce (29%), eggless chocolate cake (16%), sugar, dark chocolate flakes (3%), coffee powder, emulsifiers, stabilisers and a nature-identical coffee flavour.

Per 100 g: 247 kcal, 11.1 g fat of which 4.99 g saturated, 28 g sugar of which 24.5 g added, 3.68 g protein, 92.2 mg sodium. The panel is printed per serve and converted to per 100 g (a 200 ml can is 155 g).

Ingredients to watch

Added sugarConcern
24.5 g per 100 g, about 38 g in the whole 155 g can.
Caramel coloursConcern
INS 150c and 150d (ammonia and sulphite ammonia caramel) cost 4 points each, from the cake.
Calcium phosphates (INS 341)Worth watching
Cost 4 points; they sit in the cake's baking powder system.
FatFine
No hydrogenated fat is listed and trans fat is 0.07 g per 100 g.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Cake pieces make ice cream more filling"

The 16% cake is mostly maida, sugar and butter, and the whole can has 3.68 g protein per 100 g.

Myth: "Eggless means healthier"

Eggless only describes the cake; the can still has 24.5 g added sugar per 100 g.
