Cow Belle Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Cow Belle Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream by Cow Belle DUMP — score 17/90.
A simple scoop of ice cream this is not. It's a 25+ ingredient lab build stacking corn syrup, rice syrup and sugar with palm oil, interesterified soybean oil, polysorbate 80, three different cellulose/carrageenan gums and double-dosed mono & diglycerides.
Why this verdict
- Three separate sweeteners stacked: sugar, corn syrup and rice syrup
- Interesterified soybean oil and palm oil replace real dairy fat
- Polysorbate 80 plus mono & diglycerides (twice) plus carrageenan and cellulose gums
- 25+ ingredients, NOVA group 4 ultra-processed
- 17g sugar per half cup is the small print, not the headline
Ingredients (18)
- cream (safe) — Real dairy adds richness.
- Milk (safe) — Real dairy base.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
- Corn Syrup (caution) — Added sugar baked into the crust.
- rice syrup (caution) — Refined high-glycemic glucose syrup, third sweetener.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — Saturated-fat-heavy oil used in the crust.
- Interesterified soybean oil (caution) — Industrially rearranged fat that replaces trans fat; emerging evidence links it to unfavorable metabolic effects.
- POLYSORBATE 80 (caution) — Synthetic emulsifier used to mimic creaminess cheaply.
- Mono & diglycerides (caution) — Emulsifier for a smooth, stable freeze.

- wheat flour (moderate) — Thickening agent, not harmful but adds processing.
- Whey (safe) — Milk protein for body.
- Soy Lecithin (safe) — Common emulsifier, generally benign in these amounts.
- Natural flavor (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor blend; minor but not fully transparent.
