Cadbury Dairy Milk Ice Cream Tub 425ml nutrition

Figures from Morrisons product page, collected by Boone. Free sugar estimated by Boone. Last checked 26 October 2026. Data checks are led by Murray Dare.

The label gives figures by volume, not by weight, so Boone shows them per 100ml. The traffic lights and nutrient profile score are worked out on those figures, so treat them as a guide: ice cream weighs less than water, so figures by weight would be higher. Free sugar leaves out an estimated 3g of lactose per 100ml, worked out from the protein, because milk carries about 1.4g of lactose for every 1g of protein and this is a milk-based product. Lactose is the sugar in milk and is not free sugar.
