About DESSERT TOPPING
Kroger Dessert Topping is a chocolate-flavored dessert sauce product sold under The Kroger Co.'s standard Kroger brand. This product functions as a pourable chocolate fudge or hot fudge-style topping for ice cream, cakes, and other desserts. It is categorized within the dips and salsa section in the USDA database — an apparent miscategorization that likely reflects the product's semi-liquid consistency and jar or squeeze bottle format.
Nonfat milk is the primary ingredient, followed by sugar and corn syrup as primary sweeteners, then water and HFCS as additional sweeteners. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil appears as the fat component — this is a legacy-era ingredient subject to the FDA's 2015 GRAS revocation for partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) and the 2018 compliance deadline. Its presence in this USDA submission likely reflects an older formulation. Dutch-process cocoa provides the chocolate flavor. Modified corn starch thickens the sauce. Salt, disodium phosphate, sodium citrate, and artificial flavor are also present.
Nutritionally, per 100 grams this product provides 317 calories, 2.44 grams of protein, 51.22 grams of carbohydrates, and 12.2 grams of fat, with 2.4 grams of dietary fiber. Calorie density is high. Allergens include milk (nonfat milk) and soy (partially hydrogenated soybean oil). Contains PHO (legacy ingredient), HFCS, and artificial flavor. Not suitable for vegans or dairy-free consumers. The partially hydrogenated soybean oil is a legacy trans fat source that may have been reformulated in current production.
