What You Should Know

You'd spot this pint in the grocery freezer aisle among premium gelatos — often grabbed for a cozy night in or to elevate an after-dinner dessert. The vibe is indulgent and slightly nostalgic, promising a rich caramel-salted bite. The ingredient list (corn syrup, dextrose, coconut oil, emulsifiers and gums, alkalized cocoa, natural flavors) and the engineered smooth texture point to industrial processing and long shelf/stability typical of ultraprocessed products.
