How to interpret ないって


How to interpret **ないって** in the following sentence?

> アイスには賞味期限がないって本当ですか？

がない looks like negative form of ある, but what is って then? Can it be a
contraction of quoting particle と?




You are parsing this incorrectly. It is ない + って following after. In this case,
the って is a contraction of というのは, and the ない goes with 賞味期限が.

So the whole sentence parses like this:

> (アイスには賞味期限がない）って本当ですか？ → Is it really true that ice cream doesn't have an
> expiration date?!
