Is it true that except Amul ice-cream every other Indian brand uses vegetable oil instead of milk for ice cream production and can we file case against those in consumer court?

Some people may be knowing it from before and others will be surprised to know that what they are eating on name of ice-cream is actually isn't ice-cream.

Except Amul, Mother Dairy and few others all the leading brands which include kwality Walls and Vadilal are selling frozen desserts and not ice-cream. Ice-cream should be made of milk (milk fat) but these are made of vegetable oil (vegetable fat) and hence are frozen desserts, not ice-cream.

They are advertised, packed and presented as ice-cream in form of bricks,cups cones etc just like ice-cream. Most of us eat them thinking we are eating ice-cream but in fact we are eating something else.

When I heard it for the first time I immediately checked the ingredients of leading ice-cream brand and shocked to find it true. The word ice-cream is not written anywhere. You will only find frozen dessert written in small fonts. You can also check it when you have a cone or cup of a leading brand in your hands next time.

Vegetable oil is not very harmful and is abundantly used in Indian kitchens but there is a catch. Production of frozen desserts from vegetable oil is eighty percent cheaper than milk ice-cream. So we are not only harming our health but paying excessively for it.
