About DANISH

Van or Kamp's Danish is a baked pastry product distributed under a Kroger Co. brand name. This product is an ambient-shelf or packaged bakery Danish, categorized within cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes. The formulation is among the more complex in the canned pastry category, incorporating a very long ingredient list that includes multiple preservatives, dough conditioners, colorants, and emulsifiers.

The primary structure comes from enriched bleached and unbleached wheat flour. Fats include palm oil and hydrogenated palm kernel oil — the latter being a partially or fully saturated tropical fat. The presence of hydrogenated palm kernel oil warrants attention; depending on the hydrogenation degree, this may or may not contain detectable trans fats under current FDA rounding rules, though the 2015 GRAS removal for partially hydrogenated oils has led most manufacturers to reformulate. Additional fats include mono and diglycerides, soybean oil, and small amounts of defatted soy flour. Sweeteners include sugar, dextrose, brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, and invert sugar. Almonds are listed as an ingredient. Preservatives include calcium disodium EDTA, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and calcium propionate — a notably dense preservative load. Dough conditioners include sodium stearoyl lactylate, azodicarbonamide, ascorbic acid, and ammonium chloride. Colorants include beta carotene, annatto, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. Polysorbate 60 is an emulsifier.
