In the summer of 2022, frozen drinks such as ice cream and ice cream have attracted much attention

According to the product standard, the difference between ice cream and ice cream is mainly whether there is a puffing process and nutrient indicators, the national standard for the content of protein and fat and other indicators of ice cream is higher, but if the product reaches the same indicators, no mixed air for volume expansion is called ice cream

When purchasing, focus on confirming the production date, nutrition facts list, allergen substances, ingredient list and other information, and try to choose the products that are recently produced

When buying ice cream, it is recommended to focus on the ingredient list: in addition to fruit flavor, milk, cream and other dairy products rank high, the material is solid, the relative quality is relatively high, and the price is relatively high; Priority is given to the use of chocolate, cocoa powder, cocoa liquid blocks, rather than cocoa butter substitutes; If you have a higher pursuit of flavor, you can choose a product that does not contain flavor.

Look at the nutrition facts table: give priority to high protein content; If there are low-sugar, low-fat and other nutritional claims on the packaging, it is necessary to see the values in the nutrition ingredient list to confirm whether the manufacturer's propaganda is compliant: the low-sugar claim must be labeled with sugar content, and the sugar content must be ≤ 5g/100g; Low fat claims that the fat content must be ≤ 3g/100g; Keep an eye out for allergen information and choose the product

In addition, there is a lot of discussion about food additives this summer, in fact, food additives are strictly evaluated and determined to be safe and reliable before they are approved for use
