Gelatelli / Vemondo Coconut Milk Ice Cream (Dark Chocolate & Almond) — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Gelatelli / Vemondo Coconut Milk Ice Cream (Dark Chocolate & Almond) by Gelatelli ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A vegan label on a lab-built dessert: sugar plus glucose syrup, then three stacked emulsifiers and three stabilizers to fake the creaminess dairy would give for free.

Why this verdict

• Two added sweeteners stacked: sugar plus glucose syrup, ~20g sugar per 100g
• Three emulsifiers including PGPR (E476) to engineer dairy-free creaminess
• Three stabilizers (locust bean gum, guar gum, pectin) on top of the emulsifiers
• NOVA 4 ultra-processed - built in a factory, not a kitchen
• Refined coconut fat plus sugars makes it calorie-dense indulgence

Ingredients (18)

• Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Cocoa mass (14%) (safe) — Real dark chocolate solids; some polyphenols, but here it's the dessert shell.
• Coconut milk (13%) (safe) — The genuine dairy substitute; whole-food fat source.
• Cocoa butter (5%) (safe) — Natural cocoa fat, fine in moderation.
• coconut fat (moderate) — Added as a saturated hard fat to give the spread body; drives up the saturated fat content.
• glucose syrup (caution) — A second refined sweetener in the caramel.

• Coconut Milk Powder (safe) — Dried coconut for body and flavor.
• Coconut extract (safe) — Flavoring from coconut.

• Pea Protein (moderate) — Second isolated protein; drives the 20g protein figure.
• Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (caution) — Emulsifier carried in from the potato flakes.
• Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (E476/PGPR) (moderate) — Highly processed castor-oil-derived emulsifier - a hallmark of engineered fat systems.
• Lecithins (soy) (safe) — Common emulsifier; benign but adds to the additive stack.
• Locust Bean Gum (moderate) — Stabilizer, part of the industrial texture stack.
• Guar Gum (moderate) — Used as a firming agent or conditioner; not necessary.
• Pectin (liquid) (safe) — Plant gelling agent; third texturizer.
