vanilla ice cream

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to watch

vanilla ice cream scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

vanilla ice cream lists 9 ingredients, starting with Cream, Egg Yolks, Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Beans and Skim Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 87/100 vanilla ice cream sits in our top band, among the better ice cream & frozen desserts we have scored. A higher-scoring option in ice cream & frozen desserts is Straus Family Creamery Organic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream at 100/100.
