If you’re looking for sugar-free ice lollies for match night, the claim ‘no added sugar’ isn’t enough to help you choose. According to their product pages, Auchan’s mango and passion fruit and strawberry fruit lollies carry this claim but contain 19 g and 17 g of sugars per 100 g respectively. They’re better suited to anyone looking for lollies with no added sugar. If you’re serving several people, also check the portion sizes and allergen information.
Who is this choice for?
People specifically looking for sugar-free products
The total sugar content matters more to you than simply whether sugars have been added. Auchan’s product pages list 19 g and 17 g of sugars per 100 g for its mango and passion fruit and strawberry lollies respectively.
Fans of fruity lollies with no added sugar
You’re looking for a fruit-based dessert labelled ‘no added sugar’, while being happy for it to contain sugars. Both Auchan varieties come in packs of four.
Hosts mindful of portions and allergens
If you’re serving several guests, you’ll need to count the lollies and check the per-portion values as well as any ‘may contain’ allergen warnings. Auchan’s product pages list four 60 g lollies per box.
What should you check?
First decide whether your priority is the total amount of sugars or the absence of added sugars. Then check the pack size and any precautions you’ll need to take for your guests.

Mistakes to avoid
-
Confusing ‘no added sugar’ with ‘sugar-free’
According to their product pages, Auchan’s mango and passion fruit and strawberry lollies carry the first claim but contain 19 g and 17 g of sugars per 100 g respectively.
If total sugar content is your priority, check the nutrition information for the specific product before choosing.
-
Looking only at the figures per 100 g
Auchan’s product pages also list 11 g of sugars per 60 g mango and passion fruit lolly and 10 g per 60 g strawberry lolly.
Compare the figures per lolly too, and consider how many portions you plan to serve.
-
Assuming a fruit lolly poses no allergen risk
Both Auchan product pages warn that the lollies may contain traces of peanuts and other nuts; the mango and passion fruit variety also lists cereals containing gluten.
Ask your guests about any allergies and check the information on the pack you buy.
-
Forgetting to count the lollies
Both Auchan varieties come in boxes of four 60 g lollies.
Work out how many boxes you’ll need based on how many people want dessert and the portions you plan to serve.
Brands to consider
Auchan
Auchan offers two 100% fruit lollies with no added sugar: mango and passion fruit, and strawberry. Both come in boxes of four.
- Auchan’s product pages list the ingredients and nutrition information per 100 g and per lolly, making it easy to compare the two flavours.
- With 19 g and 17 g of sugars per 100 g respectively, these varieties aren’t suitable if you’re specifically looking for sugar-free products.
Magnum
Auchan’s range of ice lollies includes, among other things, an assortment of Magnum mini lollies.
- This format is worth considering if your priority is to serve several lollies for sharing.
- The fact that Magnum products are in this section doesn’t mean that a particular variety is ‘sugar-free’ or has ‘no added sugar’: check the packaging.
