Organic Italian Gelato, Vanilla — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Organic Italian Gelato, Vanilla by Simply Roundy's TREAT — score 45/90.

A simple, organic vanilla gelato — real milk, real vanilla beans, and two natural stabilizers. It's still a sugar-and-fat dessert, so enjoy it as one.

Why this verdict

• Sugar is the #2 ingredient — this is a dessert, not a snack
• Coconut oil adds saturated fat on top of the sugar
• Two sweeteners (organic sugar + corn syrup) stack the sweetness
• But the list is short, organic, and free of artificial additives

Ingredients (8)

• Organic pasteurized milk (safe) — Real dairy base — protein, calcium, and fat. The wholesome part of the formula.
• Organic Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar, the #2 ingredient. Spikes blood sugar and drives the calorie load.
• organic coconut oil (moderate) — Highly saturated fat used for body and melt. Fine in small amounts, heavy here.
• ORGANIC GUAR GUM (safe) — Natural bean-derived stabilizer that keeps the texture smooth. Harmless in food amounts.
• Organic carob seed flour (locust bean gum) (safe) — Natural stabilizer from carob seeds — standard, benign gelato thickener.
• Organic vanilla beans (safe) — Real vanilla bean, not synthetic vanillin. A genuine quality signal.
• Organic corn syrup (moderate) — A second added sweetener layered on top of the sugar. Minor amount but it stacks sweetness.
• organic vanilla extract (safe) — Real vanilla flavoring — a clean ingredient.
