Ice cream recalls
The Associated Press reported on April 8, 2008 that Kroger has recalled containers of its Private Selection Light Churned Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, packaged in 1.75 quart containers with a "Sell By" date of Dec. 3, 2008. The ice cream was distributed by Kroger stores in the south and Midwest. Officials say the ice cream may contain egg, soy and wheat products not listed in the ingredients statement. People who are allergic to these products run the risk of a serious reaction, although no illnesses have been reported.
MedicineNet has an article by Elaine Magee called "The Best of the Light Ice Creams" that looks at the ingredients of some popular ice creams, and also lists their caloric and fat content.
"Brand-Name Comparison: Frozen Desserts" from Nutrition Action Health Letter is an older article that still contains valuable information.
The American Dietetic Association has a chart called "We All Scream for Ice Cream!" that defines terms like "light" and "low-fat."
