About MILK CHOCOLATE FROSTING, MILK CHOCOLATE
Meijer's Milk Chocolate Frosting is a ready-to-spread cake frosting found in the baking aisle. The ingredient list raises several flags for health-conscious consumers: it leads with sugar, then partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening (soybean oil and/or cottonseed oil), which is a source of trans fats. The FDA mandated elimination of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) from the food supply, and their presence here likely indicates an older-formulated or legacy product. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is also included as a sweetener. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used as a whitening agent — it is banned as a food additive in the European Union. Red 40 Lake is a petroleum-derived synthetic dye.
Allergens include dairy (nonfat milk) and soy (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, polysorbate 60, soy lecithin). Wheat is present via modified wheat starch. Potassium sorbate is the preservative. The presence of PHOs, HFCS, TiO2, and artificial dyes makes this one of the more additive-heavy products in the Meijer private-label range.
At 424 calories per 100 grams with 63.6 grams of carbohydrates and 18.2 grams of fat, this frosting is expected to be used in small quantities for cake and cupcake decorating. The 3 grams of fiber listed likely reflects cocoa solids content. Shoppers seeking a cleaner frosting option should look for alternatives without PHOs or TiO2.
