Vadilal Gourmet Nutty Belgian Dark Chocolate Super Premium Ice Cream — DUMP

Munch or Dump rates Vadilal Gourmet Nutty Belgian Dark Chocolate Super Premium Ice Cream by Vadilal DUMP — score 17/90.

A 'Super Premium' dessert dragged down by synthetic azo food colors (INS 124 / E124) sitting next to milk, sugar and nuts. Once you're adding petroleum-derived dyes to ice cream, it's not premium anymore.

Why this verdict

• Contains INS 124 / E124 (Ponceau 4R), a synthetic azo dye linked to hyperactivity in kids and restricted in several countries
• Color is added purely for looks to a dessert that's already brown from chocolate
• Sugar is the #2 ingredient — a sugar-and-fat indulgence at its core
• 'Super Premium' positioning sits on top of petroleum-derived food coloring

Ingredients (6)

• Milk Solids (safe) — Curdled dairy solids — the protein, fat, and calcium of milk. Whole-food base with no processing tricks.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Chocolate (safe) — Small amount of real chocolate; a minor positive.
• Nuts (safe) — Whole-food inclusion adding healthy fats, protein and crunch.
• raisins (safe) — Dried grapes; naturally sweet, no added sugar in the raisin itself.
• INS 124 / E124 (Ponceau 4R) (harmful) — Synthetic azo dye added for color only; linked to hyperactivity in children and restricted or warning-labelled in several countries. No place in a 'premium' food.
