Who are these multipacks for?

Vegan shoppers who check the ingredients

You’re looking for an ice lolly explicitly labelled vegan, and you also check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings before buying.

People planning smaller portions

Whether you’re sharing with a small group or serving individual portions, you need to know how many lollies are in the box and the quantity per lolly. If you’re packing a lunchbox, also check the storage instructions on the pack.

Fans of specific plant-based flavours

You want to choose between a vanilla, chocolate and almond recipe and a biscuit and blueberry recipe, without losing sight of the vegan requirement.

What should you check before buying?

Start by checking the vegan label and allergen information on the pack, then choose the number of portions and the recipe that suits you.

What to check Look for Who is this for?
Vegan label and allergens Look for a vegan label on the specific product you’re buying, then read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings on its box. I want to stick to my vegan choice without assuming the lolly is also suitable for someone with an allergy; around 45% of consumers would put this check at the top of their list.
Number of portions Count the lollies in the box and check the quantity per lolly: Magnum France lists 3 × 90 mL for Vegan Amande x3, while Auchan lists Vegan Chill as three pieces weighing 210 g. If I’m serving a small group, I need to know how many portions to plan for rather than relying on the word ‘multipack’ alone; around 33% of consumers would prioritise the number of lollies.
Flavour and nutritional information Compare the recipes and, if it matters to you, the nutritional values per portion for the product you’ve chosen. Don’t assume the figures are the same for different products. If I’m choosing between almond and vanilla and biscuit and blueberry, the recipe matters more than the pack size; around 22% of consumers would prioritise flavour or per-portion information.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming vegan means allergen-free

    An ice lolly labelled vegan may contain ingredients such as almonds or soya, and may carry a warning that it could contain traces of milk or other allergens.

    If someone has an allergy, read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the specific pack. Don’t assume what it contains from the vegan label alone.

  • Assuming a pack of three will serve a large group

    Magnum Vegan Amande x3 and Vegan Chill x3 each contain three lollies. So one box won’t provide a portion for more than three people.

    Work out how many portions you need before you shop, and check the number of pieces listed on each box.

  • Assuming two product listings describe exactly the same recipe

    For Vegan Amande, Carrefour’s listing mentions soya protein, while the Magnum listing we checked mentions pea protein. This difference is particularly important if you’re avoiding a specific ingredient.

    Always refer to the ingredients and allergen information on the box you’re buying.

  • Assuming a plant-based range means a specific lolly is vegan

    A retailer may sell plant-based products or ice cream multipacks, but that doesn’t mean both descriptions apply to the same product.

    For vegan shopping, choose only an ice lolly that is explicitly labelled vegan, then check the packaging.

Brands and retailers to help you choose

Magnum

Magnum offers two different vegan ice lolly multipacks: Vegan Amande x3 and Vegan Chill x3.

  • According to Magnum France, Vegan Amande x3 combines vanilla plant-based ice cream, chocolate and almonds in three 90 mL portions.
  • Check the recipe and allergen information for each product on the box you buy.

Carrefour

Carrefour’s listing shows Magnum Vegan Amande in a box of three lollies.

  • Its listing provides ingredients and nutritional information to help you check the product before buying.
  • If a particular ingredient matters to you, especially a plant protein, refer to the label on the box you actually buy.

Auchan

Auchan’s listing shows Magnum Vegan Chill in a pack of three lollies, weighing 210 g in total.

  • It describes a vanilla recipe with biscuit flavour and blueberry, as well as the allergens and possible traces associated with this product.
  • Check the allergen information on the box before choosing it for someone with an allergy.

MUCCI / ALDI

ALDI presents MUCCI as a range of ice creams and sorbets, and offers ice lollies in multipacks.

  • A multipack can be a good starting point if you’re planning several portions.
  • For a vegan option, check that the specific lolly is labelled vegan. The range or pack format alone doesn’t confirm this.

Frequently asked questions

Are vegan ice lollies always allergen-free?

No. The Magnum vegan products featured here may contain almonds or soya, and may carry warnings about possible traces of other allergens, depending on the product. If someone has an allergy, check the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the box you buy.

How many ice lollies should I plan for a snack or individual portions?

Allow one lolly per portion: Magnum Vegan Amande x3 and Vegan Chill x3 are both sold in boxes of three. If you’re preparing more portions, work out how many boxes you’ll need and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.

Should I leave the lollies out of the freezer for a few minutes before serving?

Carrefour and Auchan recommend taking these Magnum products out of the freezer for a few minutes before serving. Always follow the storage and serving instructions on the pack you buy.

Where can I check the allergens on the box?

Check the ingredients list and any warnings about possible traces. France’s Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control reminds consumers that allergenic ingredients must be highlighted on the labels of prepacked foods.
