What to know about Urban Platter Thick & Delicious Coconut Cream Unsweetened 23% Fat
Two clean ingredients, 21 g saturated fat per 100 ml
A 250 ml Tetra Pak carton of unsweetened coconut cream, made from coconut kernel extract (80%) and water and nothing else. It is bought as a plant-based, dairy-free way to make curries, puddings, cakes and ice cream rich and thick.
The pack prints values per 100 ml, and a carton holds 2.5 of those servings. Each 100 ml has 240 kcal, 3 g protein, 24 g fat of which 21 g is saturated, 2 g total sugar with 0 g added, no fibre and 25 mg sodium. The richness is almost all fat.
The name promises cream, but the ingredient list shows coconut kernel extract, not cream, and that is what sets the [L] flag. The additive-free and no-added-sugar claims are accurate: no additive is listed. CleanPlate scores it [L]EA5.
Does Urban Platter Thick & Delicious Coconut Cream Unsweetened 23% Fat live up to its claims?
The additive-free, no-added-sugar and lactose-free claims hold, but the cream in the name is not on the ingredient list, which makes that claim misleading.
- Product nameMisleading
“Unsweetened Coconut Cream”
No cream is listed. The ingredients are coconut kernel extract (80%) and water.
- On the packHolds
“Additive Free”
The list has only coconut kernel extract and water, with no additive or preservative.
- On the packHolds
“No Added Sugar”
Added sugar is 0 g per 100 ml. The 2 g of total sugar is natural to the coconut.
- On the packHolds
“Lactose Free”
No milk ingredient is listed, only coconut extract and water. Saturated fat is still 21 g per 100 ml.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Coconut Cream, Water”
The retailer page shows coconut cream and water, but the pack shows coconut kernel extract (80%) and water.
Why Urban Platter Thick & Delicious Coconut Cream Unsweetened 23% Fat scores [L]EA5
Nutrition is an E: 3 g protein, no fibre and no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are an A for a two-item list with no additives, and risk is a 5 on 21 g saturated fat per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 3 g
- Fibre
- 0 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 240 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 3 g per 100 ml, and the coconut kernel extract is the main source of it. No fibre is declared, and the 240 kcal per 100 ml come mostly from 24 g of fat.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

- Flagged
- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is two items: coconut kernel extract (80%) and water. No additive, preservative, sweetener or thickener is listed, which is why the ingredient grade is high.
The name says cream, and no cream is listed, so the claim in the name costs ingredient points as a hollow label promise. That is what sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 25 mg
- Saturated fat
- 21 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the main driver: 21 g per 100 ml, all from the coconut. Energy at 240 kcal per 100 ml adds to it, and a 250 ml carton holds two and a half of these servings.
Added sugar is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and sodium is 25 mg per 100 ml, so none of those play a part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.
