The LACTAID Cherry Fudge Chip Ice Cream has been added to the brand's frozen treat range as a limited-edition product perfect for consumers to try out this summer without having to worry about dairy-related discomfort.
The ice cream is made with 100% real milk and cream to achieve an indulgent taste and texture, but doesn't have any of the associated lactose to work well for consumers with a lactose intolerance. The treat boasts a cherry-flavored ice cream base with swirls of dark cherry alongside chunks of fudge to achieve a sweet, rich and complementary taste profile.
The LACTAID Cherry Fudge Chip Ice Cream is arriving at a variety of retailers in the US in quart tubs for $5.49.
