Chocolate Ice Cream — ENGINEERED

Name: Chocolate Ice Cream
Brand: Signature SELECT

Munch or Dump rates Chocolate Ice Cream by Signature SELECT ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

This is not a churn-it-at-home chocolate ice cream. The dairy-and-sugar base is real, but it is held together by a four-part stabilizer and emulsifier stack (mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan) plus corn syrup layered on top of the sugar. That texture system is factory engineering, not a kitchen recipe.

Why this verdict

Corn syrup added on top of sugar - two sweetener sources in an already sweet product
Four stacked texture modifiers: mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan
NOVA 4 ultra-processed frozen dessert
High saturated fat and high sugar per serving
