Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Ice Lollies (Singapore)

Ice lollies: what's actually in them?

An ice lolly (ice pop) is frozen flavoured water ice — water, fruit juice and sweeteners, set with stabilisers — with no dairy at its centre, unlike ice cream on a stick. On the Singapore shelf the category is Wall's Calippo (orange and lemon-lime push-up lollies), Wall's Paddle Pop (which sits on the boundary: a milk-based frozen dessert on a stick, included here because it is sold and eaten as a lolly), and Magnolia Gotcha fruit-ice multipacks. Chocolate-coated ice-cream sticks (Magnum, Cornetto) and ice-cream tubs belong to the ice-cream category, not this page.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed and flags added sugar and fruit-juice share.

Wall's Calippo — fruit-ice push-up lollies

Wall's Calippo Mini — Orange

Pack size: 80 ml (per lolly; sold as 5 × 80 ml) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts / Spoonful, agreeing): Water, orange juice from concentrate (20%), glucose syrup, sugar, apple juice from concentrate (6%), fructose, soluble fibre, acidity regulator (citric acid), stabilisers (tara gum, locust bean gum), colours (paprika extract, curcumin), flavouring. May contain milk. Gluten free.

One listing gives apple juice from concentrate at 5% rather than 6% — a small conflict between market listings, flagged here; the SG pack must settle it. Allergens: may contain milk Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar, fructose Gluten free Origin: not stated

Wall's Calippo Mini — Lemon-Lime

Pack size: 80 ml (per lolly; sold as 5 × 80 ml) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Spoonful, Calippo Mini 6-pack): Water, lemon juice from concentrate (10%), glucose syrup, sugar, fructose, soluble fibre, stabilisers (tara gum, locust bean gum), acidity regulator (citric acid), colours (curcumin, copper complexes of chlorophyllins), flavouring. May contain milk. Gluten free.

The lime half of the mixed Orange & Lemon-Lime multipack sold in Singapore. A second listing for the same product gives the lime list as water, lemon juice from concentrate, lime juice from concentrate, colours (chlorophyll, curcumin), flavouring — a shorter list without the syrups and stabilisers spelled out, which reads like a truncated transcription rather than a different recipe; the fuller list above is panelled and the shorter one is flagged. Allergens: may contain milk Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar, fructose Gluten free Origin: not stated

Wall's Calippo — Lemon-Lime (single lolly)

Pack size: 105 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts, Spanish-market entry): Water, sugar, lemon juice from lemon juice concentrate (10%), glucose syrup, fructose syrup, flavouring, stabilisers (locust bean gum, tara gum), acidifier (citric acid), colours (curcumin, copper complexes of chlorophyllins). Traces: milk.

Flag: Spanish-market entry; the SG single lolly still needs a pack photo. It agrees with the Mini lemon-lime list on juice share (10%) and stabilisers, but orders sugar before the juice and names fructose syrup rather than fructose — market wording differences, kept as a separate row rather than merged. Allergens: traces of milk Added sugar: sugar, glucose syrup, fructose syrup Origin: not stated

Wall's Paddle Pop — milk frozen dessert on a stick

Wall's Paddle Pop — Rainbow

Pack size: 68 ml (per stick; sold as 6 × 68 ml) · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Streets Australia, brand listing): Dairy ingredients [reconstituted buttermilk (milk) and/or reconstituted skim milk, milk solids], water, sugar, soluble corn fibre, glucose syrup, coconut oil, maltodextrin, flavours, emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), vegetable gums (locust bean gum, carrageenan, guar gum, tara gum), colours (carmine, turmeric, annatto), salt, cocoa powder, malt extract (barley). Contains: milk, gluten. May contain: wheat, peanut, soy, tree nuts.

Flag: Australian brand listing; the SG-sold Paddle Pop Rainbow (sold under Wall's in Singapore and Malaysia) still needs a pack photo. The multipack listing gives a longer gum set (locust bean gum, carrageenan, guar gum, tara gum plus one more) and colours by number (120, 100, 160b, 162, 160a) — the same colours, numbered rather than named. A South African Ola listing for the same product is water-first with no dairy first, a different recipe for a different market, and is not used here. Allergens: milk, gluten (barley) Added sugar: sugar, glucose syrup Origin: not stated

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g. Sugars here are total sugars as printed. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned. Ice lollies are frozen desserts, not beverages, and no Nutri-Grade was printed on any pack in this pass.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where the source printed salt only, sodium is derived as salt ÷ 2.5 and marked as derived.

Total vs added sugars: packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (glucose syrup, sugar, fructose) versus sugars from fruit juice.

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. Click a column header to sort the table; "not stated" always sorts last.

Per-serving figures (quoted exactly as printed, not converted): Wall's Calippo — serving size 1 lolly (80 g) per the Open Food Facts entry; no per-serving nutrition figures were printed in the sources retrieved. Wall's Paddle Pop Rainbow — per serving of 68 g: sugars 11.8 g (Open Food Facts / retailer listings agreeing). Per-serving rows are kept separate from the per-100 g table above and are never sorted against it.

Observed numbers, no verdict: only one verified per-100 g figure exists on this page — Paddle Pop Rainbow at 17.4 g sugars per 100 g (Open Food Facts). A New Zealand retailer listing for the same product gives 17.2 g sugars per 100 g; the 0.2 g difference is a rounding/market difference, flagged here, and the table follows the Open Food Facts figure. No energy, protein, fat or sodium figure was verified for any panelled lolly in this pass.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any Calippo variant — Open Food Facts explicitly warns that its Calippo nutrition figures are estimated from the ingredient list, not printed on the pack, so they are not tabled here — nor for Magnolia Gotcha Fruito or Tropical Sling Jolly, or any other Paddle Pop flavour. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.

How to read an ice lolly label — the jargon, in plain English

Juice from concentrate
Juice that was concentrated (water removed) for transport, then watered back down. "Orange juice from concentrate 20%" means a fifth of the lolly is reconstituted orange juice — not freshly squeezed juice.
Glucose syrup / fructose syrup
Liquid sweeteners made from starch or fruit sugars. They sweeten and also keep the ice soft and scoopable instead of rock-hard.
Stabilisers (tara gum, locust bean gum)
Plant gums that stop ice crystals growing large, keeping the lolly smooth rather than icy and grainy.
Acidity regulator (citric acid)
Citric acid, which gives the tart bite and keeps the flavour bright. It is the same acid as in lemons.
Colours (paprika extract, curcumin, copper complexes of chlorophyllins)
The orange colour comes from paprika extract and curcumin (turmeric); the green of lemon-lime comes from curcumin plus copper chlorophyllins. No artificial colour claim on Calippo rests on these being plant-derived colours.
May contain milk
The lolly contains no milk ingredient, but it is made in a factory that also handles milk — relevant for a milk allergy, not a recipe point.

What this page is not

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: Open Food Facts (Calippo entries, Paddle Pop Rainbow NZ entry — with its estimated-nutrition warning noted); Spoonful (Calippo Mini Orange and Lemon-Lime lists); Streets Australia brand listings (Paddle Pop Rainbow and multipack); Amazon SG frozen listings (Magnolia Gotcha, Paddle Pop Rainbow multipack — inventory only). Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. 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.
