Washing Up
So I was looking at the ingredients on my WAWA ice-cream carton last night... and guess what... Partially Hydrogenated.....
ARGH! What is trans-fat doing here.... shortening is not in anyway a needed ingredient for ice cream (its not labeled as Ice-Shortening) Ice cream should have... cream, sugar, eggs (maybe) and flavoring....I understand commercial ice cream may need a preservative.... but shortening Gross. I like Wawa's ice cream too but wont be buying it again. This stuff is suppossedly banned in restaruants here but still lurking with no warning in ice cream...
This makes me mad for a few reasons
1) Wawa for those of you unfamiliar with NJ/PA is a generally high quality convienece store that started as a dairy company. Unlike other dirty nasty convienece stores they offer some healthier stuff like fruits and vegetables milk fresh eggs etc so I generally trust them to have a good product.
2) there is no reason for this they could easily eliminate it and I am surprised given all the attention to transfat lately they haven't and they haven't labeled it either.
3) you should not even be able to call it icecream if it contains shortening
4) icecream is unhealthy enough allready. I dont buy it often and when I do I am willing to accept the dairy fat but not shortening.
5) I really like thier icecream (it is very light icecream not rich like B&J or the fanicer stuff but for some reason I like it)...but will not buy it again
6) makes me wonder what other brands of icecream have this junk... I have to assume alot more
Sounds like time to dust off that icecream maker.
