Choose a cone when the wafer is part of the snack you want; choose a stick when that format or a specific labelled feature matters more, such as Magnum Classic’s manufacturer-stated gluten-free status. Compare the size of one portion and the current ingredient and allergen declarations before choosing a multipack. Purchasing for a school requires a separate check against the standards that apply to that school.
If the wafer is part of the appeal, start with cone multipacks. Check how many cones are in the pack and the volume of each one: Tesco Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as six 90 ml cones and a Tesco own-label example as four 110 ml cones.
Format alone cannot establish suitability. Cornetto Classico, Magnum Classic and Feast Original have different ingredient and allergen declarations, so check the exact product and variant rather than substituting one cone or stick for another.
The Department for Education says school food standards are a legal requirement for state-funded schools in England. Check the standards and menu context that apply to the school rather than treating a household snack choice as a school purchasing decision.
Decide whether you want a wafer cone or a stick, then compare one item at a time rather than judging multipacks by their names or pack counts alone.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Check whether the item is a wafer cone or a coated stick, and whether its ingredients include biscuit or nut pieces. | I want the wafer as part of my snack, or I would rather have a stick without a cone. |
| Portion size | Compare the number of items and ml per item. Tesco Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as 6 x 90 ml and a Tesco own-label cone example as 4 x 110 ml; Magnum lists Classic sticks as 6 x 100 ml. | One item should be the portion I intend to have, even when the multipacks contain different numbers of servings. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the exact current pack, including precautionary statements. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts; Magnum describes Classic as gluten free but lists milk and possible almond and pistachio contact; Asda lists milk, soya and wheat or gluten for Feast Original. | If an ingredient or precautionary allergen statement matters to me, I need to check this variant rather than rely on its brand or format. |
| Nutrition per item | Use the stated serving size with each figure. Magnum lists 231 kcal and 9.8 g saturates for a 100 ml Classic stick; Asda lists 271 kcal for a 90 ml Feast Original stick. | I want to compare what one cone or stick contains, not mistake a multipack total for a single serving. |
| School use | Check the school’s nation, menu context and applicable standards. The Department for Education says its school food standards are mandatory for state-funded schools in England; that statement does not classify any cone or stick here individually. | For school provision, I need a decision based on the rules that apply to the school, not on whether I would choose the product at home. |
A wafer cone, a coated stick and a biscuit-coated stick differ in format and ingredients. A stick will not meet a cone-first preference just because it is individually portioned.
Choose the format first, then compare the volume and label of each item.
Allergen declarations differ between Cornetto Classico, Magnum Classic and Feast variants. Asda’s listing for Feast Chocolate & Hazelnut, for example, declares eggs, hazelnuts, milk, wheat and almonds among its allergens.
Read the current ingredients and precautionary statements for the exact variant you intend to buy.
Six 90 ml cones and four 110 ml cones differ both in the number of servings and the volume of one serving.
Compare pack count and ml per cone together, using the portion size that suits the occasion.
The Department for Education says school food standards are mandatory for state-funded schools in England. That requirement alone does not establish an individual product’s classification or the rules for schools in other UK nations.
Before purchasing for a school, check its nation, current standards, provider requirements and the product’s current label.
These examples show how cone and stick formats differ; a brand reference does not mean every product in its range has the same ingredients.
Tesco Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as six 90 ml wafer cones with vanilla-flavour ice cream, a chocolate-flavour coating and hazelnut pieces.
Magnum Classic is a 100 ml coated ice cream stick, not a cone.
Asda lists Feast Original as a four-pack of 90 ml coated sticks with biscuit pieces and a chocolate core.
Tesco Groceries lists both Cornetto Classico and own-label cone multipacks, including a four-pack with 110 ml portions.
Asda’s listings for Feast Original and Feast Chocolate & Hazelnut describe individually portioned sticks.
These cone multipacks suit the cone-first side of the mid-morning snack decision. Compare the stated volume of one cone and the current label; this selection does not represent the stick alternatives discussed above.

Consider this pack if you want a pistachio-flavour cone in a 90 ml portion. Check the current ingredients and allergen statements before choosing it for someone avoiding nuts.

Each cone is labelled 140 ml, so compare its individual volume with the 90 ml and 100 ml options if portion size matters to you. Check the current ingredient and allergen label for this variant.

This four-pack offers a 90 ml cone for shoppers considering hazelnut and chocolate flavours. Read its current allergen declaration rather than assuming it matches another Cornetto variant.

For a wafer-cone snack, this six-pack provides 90 ml portions. Tesco Groceries describes Cornetto Classico with vanilla-flavour ice cream, a chocolate-flavour coating and hazelnut pieces; it lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts, so check the current pack if allergens matter.

Each cone is labelled 100 ml, between the stated volumes of the 90 ml and 140 ml cone options here. Check the current pack for its ingredients, allergens and per-cone nutrition.
Choose a cone if you want the wafer as part of the snack; choose a stick if that format or a particular labelled feature matters more. Cornetto Classico is listed as six 90 ml cones, while Magnum describes its Classic 100 ml stick as gluten free. Check the exact product’s allergens whichever format you choose.
Compare both the number of cones and the volume of one cone. Tesco Groceries lists Cornetto Classico as 6 x 90 ml and an own-label cone example as 4 x 110 ml, so pack count alone does not tell you the size of an individual snack.
No. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts, while Asda lists milk, soya and wheat or gluten for Feast Original. Read the current ingredients and precautionary statements for the exact product and variant before choosing it.
A household snack choice does not establish suitability for school provision. The Department for Education says school food standards are a legal requirement for state-funded schools in England; check the school’s nation, applicable standards, menu context and product label before purchasing. That England requirement alone does not classify any of these products individually or establish a rule for every UK school.
