What we did: We lab-tested eight brands of vanilla ice cream to see how they compare for sugar and fat content. We also checked whether they were safe for consumption. Those that passed industry safety standards were blind tasted by our expert panel.
The eight brands were – Amul, Baskin-Robbins, Havmor, Kwality Walls, London Dairy, Vadilal, Dairy Den and Vimal.
Fat and sugar: Comparisons were made for the six brands that passed  the microbiology tests. Amul   Vanilla, Royale contained the highest fat at 12.9g per 100g (approximately one serving). Interestingly, Vadilal Vanilla Classic had the highest sugar but the lowest fat. Baskin-Robbins had the lowest sugar. It is difficult for us to tell you which brand to choose, but as a thumb rule consumers who are diabetic should go for Baskin-Robbins while those who have high cholesterol should pick Vadilal.
