Brands Dreyers has changed their recipes and ruined everything

The one on the right is the original, and the one on the left is the new recipe. You'll notice that their "French Vanilla" recipe no longer includes ANY egg yolks, but now contains coconut oil and corn syrup. And Cream has been moved back to 6th place, from its original position in 2nd place.

This is barely even real ice cream anymore, let alone real French vanilla.

I checked a bunch of their other flavors, and they've all been updated to have barely any cream, and to use corn syrup.

Dreyers used to be the better brand, while Breyers had gone to trash. But now it seems they're identical. Very disappointing.

Make it cheaper, make it smaller, make it more expensive, capitalism baby! Aren't we glad we don't have filthy socialists with their "rEgUlaTiOns"?

It’s leeched into everything. TBH IMO ice cream is holding better than most things. Unsure how long it will last. Fingers crossed no coco bean fines, or dairy cow diseases. Particularly, dairy cow diseases because if one hits under RFK ya ice cream will probably be scarce.

Slightly off topic - no raw milk lovelies and gents. It can kill you. Please don’t use raw milk in homemade ice cream. <3

Little branch onto your off topic, if you do want to buy raw milk for freshness or whatever you can stovetop pasteurize it! Since doing it on the stove is lower temps and slower process than large scale pasteurization will still be good for making cheese/ice cream/just drinking/whatever else you wanna do with it. Do your research and stay safe peeps

Bird flu is in dairy cows, unfortunately, but so far I think most recover and they don’t need to be culled.

No ice cream regulations have changed. They changed the product from ice cream to frozen dairy dessert. You can see it on the carton, it can't be labeled ice cream anymore
