What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the supermarket frozen aisle or pulled from a home freezer at a party — an easy indulgence for sharing or a solo treat. The strawberry‑cheesecake pairing feels nostalgic and comforting, promising a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The long ingredient list (added sugars, vegetable oil, emulsifiers and multiple stabilizers, plus prepared components like graham flour) points to industrial processing aimed at smooth texture and shelf stability, consistent with an ultraprocessed product.
