What You Should Know

You'd grab this pint from the supermarket freezer aisle for movie nights, late-night cravings, or to bring to a casual get-together — it leans indulgent and nostalgic with cookie dough and chocolate chunks. The long ingredient list, multiple refined sugars and oils, and additives like guar gum, carrageenan, soy lecithin and "natural flavor" signal industrial formulation aimed at very creamy texture, mix-in stability, and extended shelf life, classic hallmarks of ultra-processed foods.
