What it is
Orange sherbet is a frozen dessert made from milk or buttermilk, sugar, water, and orange juice or flavoring. It is similar to ice cream but typically contains less fat and is churned to incorporate more air, giving it a lighter texture.
Why it's used
Sherbet is primarily used as a frozen dessert, offering a tart and refreshing alternative to ice cream. Manufacturers use it to provide a fruity flavor and a vibrant color in a variety of frozen treats.
Health notes
Orange sherbet is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for consumption. It is a source of sugar, and like other sugary foods, high intake can contribute to excess calorie consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'orange sherbet' as a whole are not typically made; rather, individual components are assessed.
Allergen info
Sherbet may contain milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
