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. The firm stated that pecan pieces were packaged in pouches labeled as walnuts.
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

TartrazineE102
−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.
