Interesting Facts
- Under 21 CFR 135.110, standard U.S. ice cream contains at least 10% milkfat.
- The same U.S. standard generally requires at least 10% nonfat milk solids, subject to specified adjustments for higher-fat formulations and bulky flavor ingredients.
- Ice cream formulations vary widely, so the U.S. minimum milkfat standard should not be interpreted as the composition of every ice cream made worldwide.
