Product Insights
Tesco Custard is a dairy‑based dessert cream that falls under the PNNS categories “Fat and sauces” and “Dressings and sauces”. It carries a NOVA 4 classification, indicating a highly processed product, and no Nutri‑Score is assigned, while its nutrition per 100 g shows low fat (2.9 g), low saturated fat (0.83 g) and low salt (0.12 g) but a moderate sugar level (11.5 g) and modest protein (2.2 g). The formulation includes milk powders, palm oil and three colour additives (E160a, E160ai, E160c), making it unsuitable for vegans and adding to its environmental impact, yet it provides a creamy texture suitable for desserts.
