Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream

Barcode 5060643330013
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream is ultra-processed.

A treat to enjoy occasionally, not an everyday choice.

This is a vanilla ice cream made primarily from milk and cream. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose and dry glucose syrup, which are industrially refined sugars, and milk protein, a pre-identified UPF ingredient. The added vegetable-fibre thickener is also an industrially isolated additive used to modify texture. Sugar, vanilla, and sea salt are not UPF ingredients on their own.
