Premium Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Premium Ice Cream scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum And Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
