About CHOCOLATE FROSTING, CHOCOLATE
Great Value Chocolate Frosting is a ready-to-spread cake and cupcake topping sold under Walmart's Great Value store brand. The serving unit is listed as IU in the USDA record, which appears to be a data entry anomaly — frosting is conventionally measured in grams or tablespoons. Per 100 grams, it delivers 394 calories, 18.18 g of fat, 51.52 g of carbohydrates, 0 g of protein, and 0 g of dietary fiber, reflecting its profile as a high-sugar, moderate-fat topping.
Sugar is the first ingredient, confirming its predominance by weight. Palm oil is the primary fat, chosen for its stability at room temperature and creamy texture. Corn syrup adds additional sweetness and prevents crystallization. Dutch-process cocoa (cocoa processed with alkali) provides the chocolate flavor and deep color. Corn starch and modified corn starch function as stabilizers. Canola oil adjusts the texture. Emulsifiers include mono- and diglycerides, polysorbate 60, and soy lecithin. Natural and artificial flavors are present. Maltodextrin adds body. Xanthan gum stabilizes the structure.
Preservatives include potassium sorbate and citric acid. Notably, antioxidants chamomile extract, rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate, and tocopherols are included to extend shelf stability of the fats, which is an increasingly common practice in products replacing synthetic antioxidants like BHA and TBHQ. Caramel color is used for visual consistency. Allergens include soy (soy lecithin) and milk (implied through processing if not directly listed). The product contains no wheat or eggs. At nearly 52 g of carbohydrates per 100 g — predominantly sugar — this frosting is intended for occasional use as a confection component.
