Product Insights
Tesco Custard is a 500 g tub of dairy‑based dessert sauce made from whole milk, whipping cream, water, sugar, cornflour, tapioca starch, pasteurised egg yolk, flavouring and vanilla seeds. Per 100 g it supplies 187 kcal, 13.3 g fat (9.2 g saturated), 13.9 g carbohydrates (8.4 g sugars), 2.6 g protein and 0.08 g salt, earning a Nutri‑Score of D and a NOVA group of 4, which reflects its ultra‑processed nature and relatively high saturated fat and sugar levels; however it provides a decent amount of calcium from dairy. The product contains milk and egg allergens, is suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans, and its fiber content is modest while its salt is low.
