What You Should Know

Breyers Lactose-Free Light Vanilla is a large 48 fl oz tub that sits in the frozen desserts aisle alongside other ice creams, frozen novelties and specialty lactose-free or reduced-fat frozen desserts. Shoppers will spot familiar Breyers branding, a picture of vanilla bean specks and callouts like “lactose-free,” “light,” and “1/3 fewer calories,” positioned to appeal both to those with lactose sensitivity and to shoppers looking for a lower-calorie treat. This product fits weekend treats, family grocery runs, movie-night pick-ups and casual entertaining — anywhere someone wants a classic vanilla ice cream experience without lactose. The brand leans into a heritage positioning: William Breyer’s “Pledge of Purity,” sustainably sourced vanilla and partnerships with the Rainforest Alliance give the product a traditional, trustworthy American-heritage story that targets families, health-aware consumers and people seeking familiar comfort foods with a modern twist. Label characteristics include “lactose-free,” “light,” “100% sustainably sourced vanilla,” and “Grade-A milk and cream,” creating natural and health halos; there is no organic certification. In plain processing terms: it’s made from milk and cream plus added sweeteners, stabilizers and emulsifiers to maintain texture and scoopability. Sensory notes: cold, creamy vanilla with visible vanilla bean specks, a smooth mouthfeel though slightly lighter and a touch icier than full-fat ice cream; sold in a wide plastic tub meant for spooning into bowls, cones or topping desserts. Rituals include family scooping at the freezer, late-night spoons straight from the tub, and portioning for guests at gatherings.

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! With 110 calories and 3.5g of fat per half-cup serving, it fits nicely into a balanced dessert option. However, it does have 15g of sugar, which is on the higher side, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy it in moderation.
