What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the supermarket freezer or reach for it after dinner — a go-to for movie nights, birthdays, or a comforting solo dessert. It feels indulgent and nostalgic: a familiar creamy vanilla designed to be scoopable and reliably smooth. Ingredients like liquid sugar, guar gum and carrageenan signal industrial processing to stabilize texture and shelf life, which are typical hints of ultraprocessing.
