Tag: Fat free ice cream

For a product to be legally labeled 'fat-free,' it must contain less than 0.5 grams of total fat per serving. So, while fat free ice cream technically exists, the ingredients used to replace fat significantly alter its nature compared to traditional recipes.

Many so-called "light" or "fat-free" products, including frozen desserts, compensate for lost fat by adding significant amounts of sugar, which can undermine health goals. So, while it is possible to find products labeled as fat free ice cream, the real story lies in what's added to replace the fat.
