About CHOCOLATE PREMIUM ICE CREAM, CHOCOLATE
Purple Cow Chocolate Premium Ice Cream (natural cocoa variant) is a chocolate ice cream product sold under the Purple Cow private-label sub-brand of Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This USDA entry represents a distinct formulation compared to other Purple Cow chocolate ice cream entries, notably with a shorter ingredient list and no high fructose corn syrup, suggesting a different product tier or reformulation period.
The primary dairy base is skim milk and cream, with sugar and corn syrup providing sweetness. Two cocoa sources are declared: alkalized cocoa (processed with alkali, also called Dutch-process cocoa, which produces a milder, darker flavor) and natural cocoa (non-alkalized), representing a blended cocoa system for flavor balance. The stabilizer package is comparatively simple: locust bean gum, guar gum, and carrageenan, without the broader emulsifier set (mono and diglycerides, polysorbate 80, cellulose systems) seen in other formulations in this line.
Nutritionally, this variant provides 221 calories per 100 grams, slightly higher than the corn syrup and HFCS-sweetened variants, with fat at 11.8 grams, carbohydrates at 25 grams, and protein at 2.9 grams per 100 grams. Fiber is 1.5 grams per 100 grams. The serving size is 68 grams. The absence of HFCS and the simpler stabilizer system distinguish this from other chocolate ice cream entries in the Meijer/Purple Cow catalog.
Allergens include dairy (skim milk, cream). No soy, wheat, peanut, egg, or nut ingredients are present in the listed formulation. The product is not vegan due to dairy content, but its relatively short ingredient list makes it one of the cleaner formulations within the Meijer ice cream range.
