Great Value Neapolitan Ice Cream

Low nutrition · Ultra-processed · per 100 g
Ultra-processed — built with extras a kitchen wouldn’t use. Better as a rare treat, not a Good rating.
Worse than 9 in 10 packs in Ice cream. The swap is on this aisle.
This pack is on an ongoing recall
Class II. Potential contamination with elevated levels of lead.
Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. The colour (Tartrazine) is cosmetic, not food. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Worse than 9 in 10 packs in Ice cream. The swap is on this aisle.

What pulled it down
This nutrition box cannot be rated Excellent
This is a treat pattern. It can only scrape into low Good if the list is clean and it is not ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
A cluster of extras blocks Excellent or Good
A cluster of extras keeps this at Poor: a sometimes product, not a habit.
A weak-ish nutrition box
About 5 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. A treat pattern.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
-5May contain residual processing contaminants. Nutritional quality is low.
Tartrazine
-14Azo dye linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children. EFSA ADI 7.5 mg/kg.
Allura red AC
-14Widely used azo dye. Hyperactivity concern in children.
Carrageenan
-14Degraded carrageenan is inflammatory in animal studies. Debate continues.
Azo dye mix
-82 synthetic colours (the Southampton six family) sit on this pack. Linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children.
A long list of extras
-84 additives sit on this pack. One extra is a recipe. Four is a factory pattern.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

−14Linked to restlessness in some children. You don’t need yellow food to be yellow.
Extra care for children
Allura red ACE129
−14Widely used, often flagged for children. You can live without red cereal.
Extra care for children
CarrageenanE407
−14Some people find it rough on the gut. Debate continues; we treat it as worth watching.
Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acidsE471
−5Not a high-concern extra. A sign the recipe needed help staying together.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
Guar gumE412
No concernUsually fine. A lot of gum in one sitting can bloat.
