                                Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare inherited disorder that causes elevated levels of the amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. For individuals with this genetic condition, navigating dietary choices can be challenging, and treats like traditional ice cream must be approached with caution due to their high protein content.
