What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the frozen aisle as a plant-based take on a classic ice cream sandwich — perfect for summer nights, kids' snacks, or a nostalgic treat. They feel indulgent and approachable: creamy coconut-based filling sandwiched between soft wafers that recreate that childhood vibe without dairy. The ingredient list and stabilizers (gums, emulsifiers), added sugars and processed components point to ultra-processing — formulated for texture, stability, and consistent flavor rather than a single whole food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives (tapioca syrup, palm oil, pea protein, locust bean gum, guar gum, lecithin), processed cocoa and added sugars, indicating formulation and processing typical of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods. These components are used to create specific texture, sweetness and shelf stability rather than coming from minimally processed whole foods.

Common Questions about Mini Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream Sandwich, 18.4 FZ

Well, 'healthy' can mean different things to different people! This sandwich is plant-based, dairy-free, and made with organic ingredients, which is a plus for many. However, it does have some sugar and isn’t particularly high in protein or fiber, so it's best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a health food staple.
