Felt like I’d ask the experts. Why wouldn’t this ice cream, labeled “maple walnut” contain any trace of maple?

    It says “maple flavoured”; if it were pure maple, it would most likely say “maple ice cream”

    It has natural and artificial flavors. If it had real maple, it would be pricey

    There is concepts of maple in your ice cream.

    The rosemary extract in the ingredient list is peculiar! If I had to guess the maple is prob under the “flavors” ingredients but it would do them a lot of favors to just list maple separately.

    Probably because maple is relatively expensive as a bulk ingredient and it’s less expensive to use the natural/artificial flavoring instead.

    Edit to add I just noticed it’s maple flavored ice cream and not maple ice cream. I assume that has something to do with it as well.

    I have more questions about the “modified milk ingredients” lol

  6. Affectionate_Ad722

    How is it even labeled ice cream in the first place? Garbage ingredients.

  7. Maple extract is in the natural flavors listed which also likely include vanilla

    When I was a kid, we often poured real maple syrup over vanilla ice cream. Copiously sometimes.

    It’s right there; “natural and artificial flavor”

  10. Lots of gums in that list among other questionable ingredients. How’s your digestive tract doing after eating that ultra-processed swill ?

    Because all American food is a lie.

    Are you in the US? I believe the US would require the front of the carton to read “made with natural and artificial flavors”

    Bc it’s straight up bullshit, I’m afraid. Modified milk ingredients? Carrageenan? Diglycerides? Gross.

    The maple flavor is hidden under the ingredients “natural and artificial flavoring” meaning it is probably synthetic or “artificially made.”

    Please throw this away now. The list of ingredients is quite alarming

    Try Straus Organics new Maple ice cream. It is exquisite.

  17. kiwiblackberry

    It could be included in the “natural flavors”

  18. Independent-Summer12

    There doesn’t appear to be cream in that “ice cream” either. Oh but it does have like at least 6 different kinds of emulsifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners 👌

    😋 real maple
    🤢 artificial flavor, maple

    I just drizzle maple syrup on my vanilla ice cream. It’s fantastic!

    At this time I would like to once again shout out to Haagen dazs for keeping it real
