Who are these ice lollies for?

People avoiding added sugars

You’re looking for a recipe with no added sugars, while recognising that fruit naturally contains sugars. The wording on the pack and the ‘of which sugars’ figure per portion answer two different questions.

Families choosing fruit ice lollies

You want individual portions to keep in the family freezer. The two Auchan fruit sorbets come in packs of four 60 g lollies; also check the warnings about possible traces of allergens.

What should you check before choosing?

Criteria What to check Who is it for?
Added sugars Look for the wording ‘no added sugars’, then check the ‘of which sugars’ figure per lolly. I want to avoid added sugars in the recipe without mistaking this wording for a complete absence of sugars; around 40% of consumers make this a priority.
Fruit option Check the weight of each lolly and any warnings about possible traces of allergens. To stock the freezer with fruit lollies, I want to know the portion size of each one; a fruity, portioned option is a priority for around 30% of consumers.
Click and collect Select your store and check whether the product you’ve chosen is available in your basket. If I’m arranging click and collect, I want to be able to order my chosen flavour from my store; around 30% of consumers prioritise availability.

Things to watch out for

  • Confusing ‘no added sugars’ with ‘sugar-free’

    Anses explains that having no added sugars does not rule out sugars naturally present in the ingredients. Auchan’s product information lists 10 g of sugars for the strawberry lolly and 11 g for the mango and passion fruit one, each weighing 60 g.

    Once you’ve spotted the wording, check the ‘of which sugars’ figure for the portion you plan to eat.

  • Assuming fruit sorbet contains no traces of allergens

    The product information for both Auchan sorbets warns that they may contain traces of cereals containing gluten, peanuts and other nuts.

    If you need to avoid an allergen, check the information on the packaging of the product you receive.

  • Assuming a classic chocolate-coated lolly has no added sugars

    Magnum France’s product information for the Amandes x4 variant lists sugar, glucose syrup and glucose-fructose syrup among its ingredients.

    If ‘no added sugars’ is a must, check the wording and ingredients for the exact product rather than relying on its category.

  • Placing your order without checking your collection store

    The range and products on offer may vary by retailer or selected store.

    Once you’ve chosen your collection point, open the lolly’s product page and confirm it’s available in your basket.
