Total Dietary Fats

Each serving of chocolate ice cream has 21 grams of total fat, including 13 grams of saturated fat. That is high.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, diets higher in saturated fat are associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

The general recommendation is for adults to consume no more than 10% of calories from saturated fat.

SUMMARY OF FAT PER SERVING

190 calories from dietary fats
58% of total calories
120 calories from saturated fat
0.5 grams trans fat

Sugars

There are 25 grams of total sugars per serving. A full container, which has about 2 1/2 individual servings, contains 67 grams of sugars.

Added Sugars

Of the 25 grams of total sugars (which includes any natural sugars), there are 19 grams of added sugars. That is high for a single serving.

As with saturated fat, the FDA recommends limiting calories derived from added sugars to 10% or less of total calories. For example, individuals who eat 2,000 calories daily should limit added sugars to 50 grams (200 calories) or less.

% Daily Value

With that in mind, each serving of chocolate ice cream is 38% of the daily value. Here is how that daily value is calculated:

19 grams added sugars per serving x 4 calories per gram = 76 calories
10% of 2,000 daily calories = 200 calories (daily limit from added sugars)
76 calories from added sugars divided by 200 calorie limit = 38%

Ice Cream Ingredients and Allergens

There are only five ingredients in Haagen Dazs chocolate ice cream. Here is the complete list of ingredients.

Ingredients
Cream, Skim Milk, Cane Sugar, Cocoa processed with alkali, and Egg Yolks

Cocoa alkalization is the process of treating cocoa solids to reduce the natural acidity and thus improve the flavor. A food-grade alkali solution raises the pH to improve the color and increase the flavor profile of the chocolate.

Another term often used to refer to the same process is “Dutched Cocoa.”

Common alkali solutions used in processing cocoa include potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide. Depending on the solution, the resulting color ranges from a light red to a dark charcoal black.

Allergens

Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream is made with egg and milk.
