Household Ingredients Compared › Frozen desserts (Singapore)

Frozen desserts: what's actually in it?

Frozen desserts here means frozen desserts other than ice cream — chiefly mochi ice cream, which is the frozen dessert with a real Singapore shelf presence (Little Moons, My/Mochi, Koyuki and others at FairPrice, Cold Storage and Donki). Ice cream itself is a separate category and is not covered here. Every mochi on this page is the same construction: ice cream inside, sweet rice-flour dough outside — and sugar is the second or third ingredient in all of them.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed, and flags added sugar, allergens and additives.

The headline, in 30 seconds

Sugar is high in every panelled mochi. 14–31 g total sugars per 100 g; My/Mochi prints added sugars of 28.6 g per 100 g, Little Moons about 28% added sugars by the source's analysis.
The dough is the same everywhere: glutinous / sweet rice flour, water, sugar, plus a stabiliser set (guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan, cellulose gum in various combinations).
Koyuki Sesame is the lightest panelled mochi at 199 kcal and 2.9 g fat per 100 g, against My/Mochi at 229 kcal and Mr Mochi Vanilla at 235 kcal — but the lists come from different markets, so the comparison is indicative, not an SG shelf ranking.
My/Mochi's retrieved list is incomplete — six ingredients (sugar, water, sweet rice flour, egg whites, corn syrup, corn starch) with no ice-cream centre detailed. It is panelled as retrieved and flagged as incomplete.
No SG pack was transcribed for any mochi on this page. All four lists are Open Food Facts entries from other markets; SG sale is at inventory level only.

Panelled — mochi ice cream (flagged non-SG lists)

Little Moons Mochi Ice Cream — Summer Raspberry, 192 g (6 × 32 g)

Pack size: 192 g (6 × 32 g) · Made in: not stated (OFF entry) (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts): Whole milk, sugar, raspberry puree (15%) (raspberry puree, invert sugar syrup), water, rice flour, double cream (milk), trehalose*, glucose syrup, skimmed milk powder, raspberry pieces (0.5%), tapioca starch, natural flavouring, beetroot powder, emulsifiers (mono and di glycerides of fatty acids), stabilisers (guar gum, locust bean gum, cellulose gum, carrageenan), salt, soya.

Flag: Open Food Facts entry; the SG pack was not transcribed. Raspberry puree is 15% and raspberry pieces 0.5%; the colour comes from beetroot powder. The source's analysis puts added sugars at about 28%. Country of manufacture: not stated Flag: OFF entry, SG pack not transcribed Sugars 28 g per 100 g Allergens: milk, soya

My/Mochi Ice Cream — list incomplete, flagged

Pack size: not stated · Made in: United States (OFF entry) (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts (US entry)): Sugar, water, sweet rice flour, egg whites, corn syrup, corn starch.

Flag: the retrieved list has only six ingredients and does not detail the ice-cream centre — it reads as the dough plus sweeteners, not the full product list. It is panelled exactly as retrieved and flagged as incomplete, not completed from another source. Added sugars are printed as 28.6 g per 100 g. Country of manufacture: United States (per OFF entry) Flag: US entry; list incomplete as retrieved Added sugars: 28.6 g per 100 g (as printed)

Koyuki Mochi Ice Cream — Sesame, 180 g

Pack size: 180 g · Made in: not stated (OFF entry) (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts): Water, glutinous rice flour, sugar, glucose, trehalose, skimmed MILK powder, maltodextrin, coconut oil, invert sugar, whey (MILK), SESAME paste (2.0%), dextrose, emulsifier: E471, stabilizers: E412 and E407, SESAME flavour.

Flag: Open Food Facts entry; the SG pack was not transcribed. Five different sweeteners are listed (sugar, glucose, trehalose, invert sugar, dextrose) — the most sweetener names on this page — yet its total sugars (14 g per 100 g) are the lowest panelled, because the dough is mostly water and rice flour. Trehalose is a source of glucose, as the source notes. Country of manufacture: not stated Flag: OFF entry, SG pack not transcribed Sesame paste 2.0% Sugars 14 g per 100 g

Mr Mochi Ice Cream — Vanilla

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Little Moons other flavours (Mango, Matcha, Chocolate, Coconut and others) — sold in Singapore; no per-flavour verbatim list was retrieved in this pass, so only the Raspberry flavour is panelled.
O Mochi Chocolate Mochi Ice Cream — a German Open Food Facts entry exists (water, glutinous rice flour, sugar, cream, cocoa 2.8%…); SG sale not verified, so not panelled.
Sundae Shoppe Mochi Ice Cream (Cookies and Cream) — a US Open Food Facts entry exists; SG sale not verified, so not panelled.
Frozen cheesecake, tiramisu, panna cotta, frozen fruit sorbet tubs and frozen yoghurt tubs at FairPrice / Cold Storage — not inventoried with verified lists in this pass.
Ice cream tubs and sticks (Magnolia, Wall's, Häagen-Dazs and others) — a separate ice-cream category; out of scope here, noted so they are not mistaken for missing rows.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100 g / 100 ml. Click a column header to sort lowest-to-highest, click again for highest-to-lowest; "not stated" always sorts last, because a missing figure is not zero. Per-serving-only figures are in a separate table below and are never sorted against per-100 figures. No Nutri-Grade applies to these foods as non-drinks, except where a drink Nutri-Grade is officially printed — none is quoted or assigned here.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where the source prints salt only, sodium is shown as salt ÷ 2.5 and flagged as derived. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Product	Energy	Protein	Total fat	Saturated fat	Carbohydrate	Sugars	Sodium (salt equiv.)
Little Moons Mochi — Summer Raspberry	218 kcal	2.4 g	6.7 g	4.2 g	37 g	28 g	40 mg (salt 0.1 g) — sodium derived from printed salt
My/Mochi Ice Cream	229 kcal	2.86 g	7.14 g	4.29 g	40 g	31.4 g	43 mg (salt 0.107 g) — sodium derived from printed salt
Koyuki Mochi — Sesame	199 kcal	1.8 g	2.9 g	1.1 g	41 g	14 g	32 mg (salt 0.08 g) — sodium derived from printed salt
Mr Mochi Ice Cream — Vanilla	235 kcal	2.94 g	7.35 g	4.41 g	36.76 g	27.94 g	not stated

Observed numbers, no verdict: Sugars per 100 g: My/Mochi 31.4 g, Little Moons Raspberry 28 g, Mr Mochi Vanilla 27.94 g, Koyuki Sesame 14 g. Energy is 199–235 kcal per 100 g. Koyuki is the outlier on both counts — lowest sugars and lowest energy — despite listing five sweeteners, because its dough is mostly water and rice flour.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any seen-but-not-verified product, and no SG-pack nutrition was verified for any panelled product. Their ingredient panels are unchanged.

How to read the label — the jargon, in plain English

Mochi ice cream: A ball of ice cream wrapped in a soft, chewy dough made from glutinous (sweet) rice flour. The dough is the outer layer; the ice cream is the centre.
Glutinous / sweet rice flour: Flour from glutinous rice. Despite the name it contains no gluten; "glutinous" describes its sticky texture when cooked.
Trehalose: A sugar made of two glucose units. It is a sweetener and a source of glucose; on this page it appears in Little Moons and Koyuki lists.
Invert sugar syrup: Sugar syrup (sucrose split into glucose and fructose) used for sweetness and to keep the dough soft when frozen.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471): Emulsifiers that keep fat and water mixed in the ice cream and dough.
Locust bean gum (E410) / guar gum (E412) / carrageenan (E407) / cellulose gum: Thickeners and stabilisers that keep the ice cream smooth and the dough chewy. A mochi typically lists two to four of them.

What this page is not

Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. Different products in this category are different products, and this page does not rank them.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: Open Food Facts entries for Little Moons Mochi Ice Cream Summer Raspberry (ingredients and per-100 g nutrition), My/Mochi Ice Cream (US entry — ingredients and per-100 g nutrition), Koyuki Mochi Ice Cream Sesame (ingredients and per-100 g nutrition), Mr Mochi Ice Cream Vanilla (US entry — ingredients and per-100 g nutrition), O Mochi Chocolate and Sundae Shoppe Cookies and Cream (read, not panelled — SG sale not verified). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page. Nutrition figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
