Frozen Dairy facts
While investigating facts about Frozen Dairy, I found out little known, but curios details like:
As a result of Breyers adding excessive amounts of additives in their ice cream to cut costs, Canada has determined their product no longer contains enough milk and cream to meet labeling requirements for ice cream, and must be labeled "Frozen Dairy Dessert",or "Frozen Dessert."
Despite being commonly referred to as "Ice Cream", many frozen dairy offerings in the store are not ice cream, a term regulated by the FDA, and instead marketed with a variety of different names such as frozen dairy dessert.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 6 of the best facts about Frozen Dairy I managed to collect.
