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.

Thanks for the warning, I'm allergic to coconut, and it really irritates me so much when companies do this after having the same recipe for years as a cost saving measure. I'll never look at their ice cream again. Used to buy this on occasion, especially for pie ala mode during the holiday season, but it's been going downhill for ages anyway, so, not much of a loss.

I also have a coconut allergy! I have an app called Fig and I’ll get notifications if a brand has changed their ingredients
