About BUTTER PECAN PREMIUM ICE CREAM, BUTTER PECAN
Purple Cow Butter Pecan Premium Ice Cream is a full-fat frozen dairy product from Meijer's Purple Cow sub-brand, representing a separate USDA database submission that records a formulation variant or reformulation period compared to the concurrent entry (id 1926142) for the same product name. This entry's nutritional profile reflects a slightly higher calorie density of approximately 250 kilocalories per 100 grams, consistent with a formula using skim milk and cream balanced with locust bean gum and guar gum as stabilizing hydrocolloids that provide body and reduce ice crystal growth during storage. Pecan inclusions deliver the characteristic buttery nut flavor central to this variety.
The use of locust bean gum alongside guar gum is a common stabilizer combination in premium ice cream manufacturing, providing better texture control at varying storage temperatures than single-stabilizer systems. Skim milk as the primary milk component rather than whole milk, combined with separately added cream, allows more precise control over fat content while maintaining a rich dairy flavor. Per 100 grams the product provides a protein contribution from the skim milk solids, calcium and phosphorus for bone health, and the healthy unsaturated fat profile of pecans. The USDA maintains both submissions as discrete database records reflecting the manufacturer's separate documentation events. Contains milk and tree nuts (pecans). Suitable for consumers seeking a premium private-label butter pecan ice cream within Meijer's retail footprint.
