Vegan Ice Cream

We ran 140 ice cream through our vegan rules: 5 pass, 12 need a label check, and 118 don't make it.

This is a dairy category at heart, so most tubs fail on milk and cream in line one. Sorbets come close but often share lines with dairy, and some use E471 or honey. The pass list is essentially the plant-based ranges plus genuinely clean fruit sorbets.
