Friendly's Ice cream sandwich

Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Friendly's Ice cream sandwich scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Friendly's Ice cream sandwich lists 21 ingredients, starting with Corn Syrup, Sugar, Whey, Mono and Diglycerides and Guar Gum. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Friendly's Ice cream sandwich scores worse than most ice cream & frozen desserts we have scored. A higher-scoring option in ice cream & frozen desserts is Straus Family Creamery Organic Strawberry Ice Cream at 100/100.
