If doing Atkins Induction just one scoop would be all my carbs for the day. I'd use it as an excuse to pig out and would be having the entire carton. Don't need much excuse though really. 🙂
 
I thought it was illegal to sell foods labelled as "diabetic", although perhaps there is some arrangement for using up old packaging stock.
 
It is illegal to sell now but they some still do.

I've eaten it and only had about 2scoops as it's sickly sweet.
 
I made some very low carb ice cream yesterday. The only significant carb in it comes from the Bailey's I decided to add. Lovely with berries.

Sounds delicious Radders - never made ice-cream myself - must have a stab at it!

Yep, the term can't be used now - in July 2016 the EC changed regulations and food manufacturers can no longer use the term 'Diabetic' or 'Suitable for Diabetics'. Shops were given a period of time to run stocks down, so it's likely that Asda have not yet sold all of their 'Diabetic Vanilla' ice-cream.

There's a full position statement about it here: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Profess...orts/Food-nutrition-lifestyle/Diabetic-foods/
