Thanks Mr. Kaishikk for the clarification . Had I attached a third side of the carton this controversy wouldn’t have arisen . As the picture clearly shows a scoop of Ice cream, what I wanted to buy . Then I remember some one saying that , Amul and Mother Dairy use only dairy fat where as the some others use Palm oil .That kindled my interest to check the contents printed and was produced . ICE-CREAM MAKERS SUCH AS AMUL AND MOTHER SAY THAT FROZEN DESSERT MAKERS HAVE BEEN MISLEADING CONSUMERS BY PASSING THEM ON AS ICE CREAM. ... "CONSUMERS ARE FOOLED INTO BUYING FROZEN DESSERTS . – Though I got ice cream with the name Desert . Frozen desserts, which look and taste like ice cream but are made out of vegetable fat, have silently grabbed a 40% share in India's 1,800-crore organized ice-cream market without most consumers realizing they are not ice cream. Led by Hindustan Unilever's Kwality Walls, Vadilal, Lazza Ice Creams and Cream Bell, frozen desserts- served in identical cups, cones and sticks as ice cream-have found a strong foothold in the country in less than two decades since Kwality Walls introduced them. But food authority officials and original ice-cream makers such as Amul and Mother Dairy feel these companies are misleading consumers by masquerading frozen dessert as ice cream. While real ice cream is made with milk fat, frozen dessert is made with vegetable fat, which is almost 80% cheaper. "THE CLANDESTINE MANNER IN WHICH THE LABELING (OF FROZEN DESSERTS) IS DONE AND THE WAY THEY ARE MARKETED IN TELEVISION COMMERCIALS ARE A MATTER OF CONCERN," SAYS H G KOSHIYA, COMMISSIONER OF GUJARAT FOOD AND DRUG CONTROL ADMINISTRATION . So next time if I want to buy Ice cream , I will buy the one that contains Dairy Milk and not palm oil. Yes Mr. Kaushikk , it is okay to consume palm oil made food stuff once in a way as we used to , hardly even once a week . Now every Thali meals in Chennai , even the ones selling for Rs. 100 / Thali includes a small cup of ice Cream [Not sure if it is labeled Ice cream or Desert ] My concern wasn’t about us oldies .But the so many working one who have to eat out their meals. But THE SCHOOL KIDS, WHO CONSUME MORE OFTEN NEED THIS WARNING ABOUT THE CONTENT OF PALM OIL. The Caption on the carton is sure to bring out another controversy on the Modern Advertising techniques. more
