If you want to avoid added sugars during a gaming session, Auchan’s 100% fruit strawberry and mango-passion fruit ice lollies carry this claim, but their product listings declare 17 g and 19 g of sugars per 100 g respectively. If you’re looking for a genuinely “sugar-free” product, neither ice lolly meets the 0.5 g per 100 g threshold set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. When choosing, also check the sugars per ice lolly and the allergen information on the packaging.
You’re looking for an individually wrapped ice lolly and are happy with the sugars naturally present in fruit, but not with added sugars. Both Auchan 100% fruit options carry the “no added sugars” claim; compare their sugar content on the product listings.
For you, “sugar-free” means a sugar content that meets the requirements for the “sugar-free” claim, not simply the absence of added sugars. The sugar content declared by Auchan for its strawberry and mango-passion fruit ice lollies is above the 0.5 g per 100 g threshold set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
You want to know the number of ice lollies, portion sizes and allergen information before offering them to the group. Each of the two Auchan boxes contains four 60 g ice lollies; their product listings also flag potential traces that you should bear in mind.
First decide whether you want to avoid added sugars or are looking for a “sugar-free” claim: these refer to different products. If you’re buying to share, then check the portion size and allergen information.
| What to check | Look for | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| No added sugars | The exact claim, then the “of which sugars” figure per 100 g and per ice lolly. | I want to avoid added sugars while being happy with those naturally present in a fruit recipe. Around 50% of consumers would make this their top priority. |
| “Sugar-free” claim | The claim on the packaging and the sugar content per 100 g or 100 ml; the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 sets a maximum threshold of 0.5 g. | A simple “no added sugars” claim doesn’t meet my requirements: I’m looking for a sugar content that qualifies for a “sugar-free” claim. This would be the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Portions and allergens | The number of ice lollies, their weight, and the ingredient, allergen and potential traces information on the box. | If I’m sharing the ice lollies, I need to be able to plan one portion per person and take into account any dietary requirements mentioned by the group. Around 20% of consumers would put this need first. |
Auchan’s product listings declare 17 g of sugars per 100 g for the strawberry ice lolly and 19 g per 100 g for the mango-passion fruit one. These ice lollies carry the first claim, but their sugar content is above the threshold for the “sugar-free” claim set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
Decide which claim you’re looking for, then check the “of which sugars” figure per 100 g and per ice lolly before choosing.
According to Auchan’s product listings, the strawberry ice lolly contains 10 g of sugars per 60 g portion, while the mango-passion fruit one contains 11 g per 60 g. Magnum’s official listing gives 12 g for a 41.5 g Mini Classic: comparing the grams per ice lolly alone hides the difference in weight.
Check both the amount you plan to eat and the figure per 100 g when the pack sizes differ.
The listings for both Auchan ice lollies warn of potential traces of cereals containing gluten, peanuts and other nuts. Individual wrapping doesn’t remove the need to check this information.
Ask the group about any dietary requirements and check the information on the box you actually buy.
