Households sharing a box
If several people are reaching into the freezer, the total weight, number of lollies and choice of flavours matter just as much as the size of each stick.
Who is this guide for?
People ordering for click and collect or delivery
Check which product is available in your area and whether substitutions may be made. Choose a collection or delivery slot that lets you put frozen food away promptly.
People checking for allergens
Read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings for the exact version you’re buying. The Carrefour listings reviewed mention milk, and some assortments also mention soya or almonds.
What should you check before ordering?
Start by choosing a quantity and pack size you’ll use, then check local availability, ingredients and how your order will be handed over.
| What to consider | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much you need | Net weight, number of ice lollies and flavours in the box. | I want to share the box without ending up with portions or flavours nobody will eat; around 36% of consumers put getting the right quantity at the top of their list. |
| Ordering and receiving your shop | Whether the product is available at your chosen store or for your address, and whether you can put it away promptly. | If I order frozen food, I need to be able to get the product I want and put it in the freezer straight away. For around 29% of consumers, successful ordering and receiving the shop come before other considerations. |
| Ingredients | Ingredients, allergens and ‘may contain’ warnings for the exact version, including if a substitute is offered. | A different recipe could make an ice lolly unsuitable for me; ingredients are the priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Pack size and flavours | Mini or standard-sized ice lollies; an assortment or a single flavour. | I’d rather choose portions and flavours that suit how I’ll use them than have some of an assortment left untouched. Pack size is the top priority for around 14% of consumers. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Judging by the size of the box alone
The number of ice lollies doesn’t tell you how much each one weighs. The ranges found at Carrefour and E.Leclerc include both mini ice lollies and larger assortments.
Check the net weight, number of ice lollies and flavours together.
-
Assuming a catalogue listing means it’s available to order
A product shown in a category isn’t necessarily available at your chosen store or for delivery to your address.
Select your collection store or delivery address, then check the product and any substitutions before placing your order.
-
Assuming all products in a range have the same ingredients
The Carrefour assortments reviewed don’t all have the same allergen information. The examples checked contain milk, while some also mention soya, almonds or possible traces of other allergens.
Read the listing for the version you’ve chosen and check the packaging when it arrives, especially if an item has been substituted.
-
Leaving frozen food out before putting it away
The DGCCRF warns that a rise in temperature can make food unsafe. It’s important to maintain the cold chain after your order has been handed over.
After collection or delivery, follow the storage instructions and put frozen products away without delay. Don’t refreeze a product that has thawed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare two boxes of ice lollies in different sizes?
Compare their net weight, number of pieces and the portion size you’d like to serve. A large assortment is only useful if its flavours and quantity suit how much you’ll eat.
Can you order ice lollies online from ALDI or Lidl?
Check what services are available in your area before relying on these retailers for your order. The ALDI frozen food pages reviewed direct shoppers to stores, while Lidl France described its online shop in 2025 as offering a complementary range of non-food products.
How should I check allergens if an item is substituted?
Before accepting a substitute, read its ingredients and ‘may contain’ warnings, then check them against the packaging when it arrives. The Carrefour assortments reviewed show that this information can vary from one product to another.
What should I do with ice lollies as soon as they arrive?
Check the condition of the products and put them straight in the freezer, following the storage instructions. The DGCCRF stresses the importance of maintaining the cold chain; don’t refreeze a product that has thawed.
Will an ice lolly shown in the catalogue be available in my basket?
Not necessarily. Check the product once you’ve chosen your store or delivery address. Carrefour and Auchan catalogues show products for click and collect or delivery, but you’ll need to check what’s available for your specific order.
