What it is

Reduced fat ice cream is a frozen dessert made with less milkfat than regular ice cream. It typically uses skim milk or low-fat milk instead of cream, and may include stabilizers or emulsifiers to maintain texture. The fat content is reduced by at least 25% compared to the standard ice cream product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to offer a lower-fat alternative to traditional ice cream while maintaining a similar taste and creamy texture. It is commonly found in various ice cream products, including tubs, bars, and sandwiches.

Health notes

Reduced fat ice cream is regulated by the FDA as a dairy product. While it contains less fat, it may have added sugars or artificial sweeteners to compensate for flavor. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated various ice cream ingredients, but specific health implications depend on the overall nutritional profile of the product, including sugar and calorie content.

Allergen info

Reduced fat ice cream is a dairy product and therefore contains milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not typically contain gluten unless added as a specific ingredient.
