Who is each format for?

Cone-first shoppers

If a wafer cone is part of the appeal, Cornetto Classico offers an individual 90ml cone within a six-pack. Sainsbury's lists 163 kcal per cone.

Chocolate-coated stick shoppers

If “single bar” means one stick rather than one cone, Magnum Classic is a 100ml chocolate-coated ice cream stick sold in a six-pack.

Shoppers checking dietary labels

Check the exact pack before choosing by format or vegan labelling. Cornetto Classico contains milk, wheat and hazelnuts; Magnum Classic contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio. Magnum Vegan Classic contains soy and may contain milk and almond.

What should you check before choosing?

Start with cone versus stick, then compare one portion from each pack and check whether you can keep the remaining portions frozen.

Priority What to check Your needs
Format and portion Cornetto Classico is a 90ml wafer cone; Magnum Classic is a 100ml chocolate-coated stick. Both are individually portioned within six-packs. I want a wafer cone for this break, or I would rather have a chocolate-coated stick. The pack size matters if I only plan to eat one today.
Per-serving nutrition Sainsbury's lists 163 kcal, 7.2g saturated fat and 10g sugars per 90ml Cornetto Classico cone. Magnum Ice Cream lists 231 kcal, 9.8g saturated fat and 20g sugars per 100ml Magnum Classic stick. These are unequal portions, not a comparison per 100ml. I want to know what one cone or stick contains, rather than comparing multipack totals or assuming two different-sized servings are equivalent.
Ingredients and allergens Check the current pack's ingredients and “may contain” statement. Cornetto Classico contains milk, wheat and hazelnuts; Magnum Classic contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio. Magnum Vegan Classic contains soy and may contain milk and almond. Before choosing a flavour or format, I need to see whether its specific ingredients and precautionary warnings work for me.
Frozen storage Check the pack instructions and make room for the multipack. GOV.UK home-food guidance says a freezer should be around −18°C; the listed Cornetto and Magnum products specify frozen storage. I can put the remaining portions in a freezer after shopping or delivery, rather than leaving the pack out until a later break.

Common buying mistakes

  • Treating every “single bar” as the same portion

    Cornetto Classico is 90ml per cone, while Magnum Classic is 100ml per stick. Their stated nutrition figures are per serving, not for equal volumes.

    Read the portion size alongside the per-serving panel before comparing the two.

  • Choosing a cone without checking allergens

    Cornetto Classico contains milk, wheat and hazelnuts; its cone format alone says nothing about suitability for someone avoiding those ingredients.

    Read the ingredients and precautionary allergen wording on the exact pack you intend to buy.

  • Assuming vegan means free from allergens or lower in sugar

    Magnum Ice Cream lists soy as an ingredient in Magnum Vegan Classic and warns that it may contain milk and almond. It lists 20g sugars per 90ml portion.

    Check allergens and per-serving nutrition separately from the vegan label.

  • Buying a multipack without a freezer plan

    These are frozen products with portions left over after a single break.

    Put the pack in a freezer promptly after shopping or delivery, and follow its storage instructions. GOV.UK guidance says a freezer should be around −18°C.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a cone or a stick for an afternoon tea break?

Choose a cone if you want the wafer format, or a stick if you specifically want chocolate-coated ice cream without a cone. For the compared products, Sainsbury's lists Cornetto Classico at 90ml and 163 kcal per cone, while Magnum Ice Cream lists Magnum Classic at 100ml and 231 kcal per stick. Those per-serving figures refer to different-sized portions, not an equal-volume comparison.

Does a vegan ice cream stick automatically suit someone avoiding milk or nuts?

No. Magnum Ice Cream states that Magnum Vegan Classic contains soy and may contain milk and almond. Read the allergen statement on the exact current pack rather than relying on the vegan label alone.

Which allergens should I check on a cone or stick?

Check both ingredients and precautionary warnings on the pack you are buying. Cornetto Classico contains milk, wheat and hazelnuts; Magnum Classic contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio. Other flavours and recipes can have different statements.

How should I store the remaining portions?

Keep the multipack frozen and follow its own storage instructions. GOV.UK home-food guidance says a freezer should be around −18°C; the listed Cornetto Classico and Magnum Classic product information also specifies frozen storage.
