If you want to keep fat levels down, start by comparing sorbet lollies: the POP’FRUIT and Auchan products listed by Auchan contain less than 0.5 g per 100 g, compared with 18 to 22 g per 100 g for the creamy or coated lollies listed by Auchan and Magnum. However, these sorbets contain 19 to 23 g of sugars per 100 g, so check the portion size, ingredients and allergen information for the product you choose too.
You’re looking for an individual frozen dessert and want to compare its fat content with that of a creamy or coated lolly. Auchan’s product information for POP’FRUIT organic mango sorbet and Auchan apple and red berry or mixed fruit sorbets lists less than 0.5 g per 100 g. Check the value for the specific product you buy.
Fat content alone isn’t enough to choose between two sorbets. The three fruit sorbets listed by Auchan contain between 19 and 23 g of sugars per 100 g. Compare the “of which sugars” figure on the same basis.
If you usually go for a creamy texture or coating, check the recipe before deciding whether it suits your dietary priorities. The product information for Auchan’s white chocolate lolly and Magnum Mint and Vegan Almond lollies lists 18 to 22 g of fat per 100 g.
First, compare the fat content per 100 g of the products you’re considering, then compare their sugar content on the same basis. The weight of each lolly and the pack instructions will also help you choose a portion and store it correctly.
| What to compare | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Fat | Check the value per 100 g for the exact product. Compare sorbet and creamy lollies on the same basis. | I want to keep the fat content of my frozen dessert down above all else, even if that means choosing a different texture. Around 50% of consumers would make this their top priority. |
| Sugars | Once you’ve compared fat content, check the “of which sugars” figure per 100 g and the ingredients list. | I’m looking for sorbet, but want to compare recipes by their sugar content rather than focusing only on fat. Around 30% of consumers would make this their priority. |
| Portion and use | Check the weight of each lolly, the nutritional values per portion, allergens and storage instructions. | When choosing an individual portion, I need to know its size and any recipe or freezer requirements. Around 20% of consumers would prioritise these practical points. |
Auchan and Magnum’s product information lists 20 g per 100 g for Auchan’s white chocolate lolly, 18 g for Magnum Mint and 22 g for Magnum Vegan Almond, respectively. The fact that the last product is vegan doesn’t tell you how much fat it contains.
If fat content is your top priority, compare the amount per 100 g rather than relying on the lolly’s name or appearance.
Auchan’s product information for its three sorbets—POP’FRUIT organic mango, Auchan apple and red berry, and Auchan mixed fruit—lists less than 0.5 g of fat, but between 19 and 23 g of sugars per 100 g.
Compare the “fat” and “of which sugars” figures separately if both matter to your choice.
A small size tells you how much you’ll eat at a time, not what’s in the recipe. For example, Carrefour sells Oasis mixed fruit lollies in 40 g portions.
Check the values per portion to see what one lolly contains, then use the values per 100 g to compare different products.
Allergen and storage information varies by product. For its Oasis mixed fruit lollies, Carrefour recommends storage at −18 °C and says not to refreeze once thawed.
Read the pack information that’s relevant to you, and follow the storage instructions after you buy the product.
The retailer offers, among other options, apple and red berry and mixed fruit sorbet lollies, sold in packs of eight.
Auchan’s product information for POP’FRUIT organic mango sorbet describes a pack of four lollies weighing 280 g.
Carrefour offers, among other options, Oasis mixed fruit sorbet lollies in individual 40 g portions.
Magnum Mint and Vegan Almond show the alternative to fruit sorbet: a creamy or coated lolly.
E.Leclerc lists ECO+ maxi vanilla lollies in a pack of six.
ALDI describes MUCCI as a range of ice creams and sorbets.
This pack of four mango sorbet lollies could be a good choice if you’re looking for an individual frozen dessert. To compare it with the products covered above, check the nutritional information on its own packaging, particularly the fat and sugar content per 100 g.

Worth considering if you’re looking for mango sorbet in individual portions rather than a creamy lolly. The pack contains four lollies weighing 280 g in total. Before choosing, compare the fat and sugar content per 100 g listed for this product.
No. Check the fat content per 100 g for each product. Auchan’s product information for its apple and red berry and mixed fruit sorbets lists less than 0.5 g per 100 g, but this doesn’t automatically apply to all sorbets.
The word “vegan” doesn’t answer that question. According to its product information, Magnum Vegan Almond contains 22 g of fat per 100 g. Check the nutritional values for the product you’re considering rather than assuming what it contains from the vegan label.
Follow the instructions on the packaging for the product you’ve bought, and put it in the freezer as soon as possible. For its Oasis mixed fruit lollies, Carrefour recommends storage at −18 °C and says not to refreeze once thawed.
