Every Ben & Jerry's flavour sold in the UK broken down by scoop, half tub and whole tub, checked against NHS daily limits from age 4 to adult.
Ben & Jerry's is sold in 465ml tubs, owned by Unilever, and built on a cream base. Cookie Dough is 27% cream before anything else goes in. This is super-premium ice cream, which in technical terms means high fat, high sugar and very little air whipped in, and that last part is why a tub weighs more than you would expect.
The label declares nutrition per 100g and per serving. Almost nobody eats a serving.
A 465ml tub of Cookie Dough weighs around 406g. The pack is presented as multiple servings. It is routinely eaten by one person in one sitting.
Eaten that way, a tub takes an adult past their entire daily free sugar allowance of 30g several times over, and past the 20g daily saturated fat guideline. For a child aged 4 to 6, whose free sugar limit is 19g a day, a single generous scoop can account for most of it.
None of that makes ice cream a problem food. It makes the difference between a scoop and a tub the only number worth knowing, and it is the one the pack makes hardest to work out.
Because the tub is measured in millilitres and the nutrition is declared in grams, the two do not convert one to one. Ice cream is less dense than water. Multiply a per-100g figure by 4.65 to get a 465ml tub and you will overshoot by roughly 15%.
The correct approach is to use the net weight in grams, not the volume, and every product page here does that.
Sugar gets the attention. With Ben & Jerry's, saturated fat runs alongside it, and on some flavours it is the tighter constraint against the daily guideline. It comes from the cream, butter and coconut fat in the base rather than from anything added late in the process.
The Non-Dairy range swaps the dairy base for a plant one. That changes the saturated fat picture, though not always in the direction people assume, because coconut fat is itself high in saturates. The sugar is broadly unchanged.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown by scoop, half tub and whole tub using net weight in grams, age-adjusted NHS sugar and saturated fat calculations from age 4 to adult, an interactive calculator for your exact portion, and a plain guide to what the ingredient list actually contains.
