What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the supermarket freezer aisle or pulled from a home freezer for movie nights, parties, or a nostalgic late-night treat. Its rich, indulgent cookie-dough-and-chocolate vibe feels comforting and familiar, while the long list of added sugars, vegetable oils, emulsifiers, stabilizers and flavorings points to industrial formulation that yields a very smooth, scoopable texture and aligns with NOVA 4 ultra-processed products.
