What should you check before ordering?
Decide whether cone format or one retail unit is the firmer requirement, then check the label and delivery choices for the item you select.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Pack size |
Check both the number of items sold and the volume of each serving. ASDA Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as 6 x 90ml, Magnum Classic as 3 x 100ml and Feast Original as one 90ml stick. |
I only want one item in my order, not several individually wrapped portions to store in the freezer. |
| Eating format |
Check whether the product is a wafer cone or an ice-cream stick. Cornetto Classico is a cone; the listed Magnum Classic and Feast Original products are sticks. |
The cone itself matters to me, so a stick would not be a suitable replacement. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Read the information for the exact flavour and pack, including any precautionary statements. ASDA Groceries lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts for Cornetto Classico; its vegan and gluten-free Cornetto variant still lists soya and hazelnuts and says it may contain milk and pistachio. |
I need to check the particular item delivered, rather than assume a vegan or gluten-free label answers every allergen question. |
| Substitutions |
Review your substitution choice before checkout. Tesco says it may offer an alternative when an item is unavailable if you have allowed substitutions; check any replacement’s format, pack size and allergen information. |
If my chosen cone is unavailable, I would rather check an alternative than assume another frozen treat will do. |
| Delivery and storage |
Check availability for your delivery address and the final basket. Joybuy’s Cornetto Classico product information says to store it frozen at -18°C or below and not to refreeze it once thawed. |
I need the item in my delivery slot and space to store the whole pack as its instructions require. |
Brand and product-line references
These examples show how format and pack size differ; a brand name alone does not tell you whether you are buying one item.
Cornetto
ASDA Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as a six-pack of 90ml wafer cones and a separate vegan and gluten-free cone variant as a four-pack.
- Classico retains the wafer-cone format for shoppers who specifically want a cone.
- Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts. The vegan and gluten-free variant lists soya and hazelnuts and may contain milk and pistachio.
Magnum
The Magnum Classic product listed by ASDA Groceries is a three-pack of 100ml chocolate-coated ice-cream sticks, labelled gluten free.
- A stick option when a cone is not essential.
- This listed product is neither a cone nor a single retail unit; check its milk and nut information separately from its gluten-free label.
Feast
ASDA Groceries lists Feast Original as one 90ml ice-cream stick.
- The listed pack meets a requirement for one retail unit.
- It is not a cone, and the listing declares milk, wheat and soya.

Frequently asked questions
Does an individually portioned cone count as one retail item?
Not if it is sold inside a multipack. ASDA Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as six individual 90ml cones; its Feast Original listing is one 90ml retail item, but that item is a stick. Check the pack count if buying just one is essential.
Is Magnum Classic a cone option for someone looking for a gluten-free label?
No. The Magnum Classic product listed by ASDA Groceries is a gluten-free-labelled ice-cream stick sold in a three-pack, not a cone. Check its milk and nut information for the exact pack rather than treating the gluten-free label as a complete allergen check.
What if my grocery order includes a substitute for my chosen ice cream?
Check the replacement before accepting or eating it. Tesco says it may offer an alternative when an item is unavailable if you have allowed substitutions. A substitute needs its own format, pack-size and allergen check, particularly when you chose a specific cone or have dietary requirements.
Where should I check allergen information?
Check the information for the exact product and flavour you order, then read the delivered pack. GOV.UK guidance states that food businesses in retail and catering must provide allergen information; the declarations relevant to your decision depend on the particular item.
How should I store a delivered Cornetto Classico multipack?
Joybuy’s Cornetto Classico product information says to keep it frozen at -18°C or below and not to refreeze it once thawed. Check the instructions on the pack you receive before storing it.
