Butter Pecan Ice Cream is a rich, creamy dessert featuring the flavors of butter and pecans, made with ingredients including milk, cream, sugar, and corn syrup.
The nutrition facts reveal a product high in saturated fat (5g) and sugars (12g), moderate calories (160), and low levels of sodium (80.2mg) and cholesterol (29.9mg). The high saturated fat content contributes to unhealthy cholesterol levels, while the added sugars are linked to energy spikes and potential weight gain.
This product appears heavily processed due to the presence of multiple additives such as mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, calcium sulfate, locust bean gum, carrageenan, natural flavors, and caramel color, all of which are typically used in processed foods to enhance shelf life and texture. The use of corn syrup and artificial flavoring further supports its classification as a processed food, despite being a dessert item.
Given the high sugar content and saturated fats, this product is not health-friendly. A better alternative would be to make a homemade version using ingredients like Greek yogurt or avocado for a healthier base and minimal added sugars.
