Is a Dole Whip Ice Cream? Yogurt?

[ocalla]

I wondered what the Dole Whip was made with?

TIA

 

[somesong2sing]

I believe that I ready they were frozen yogurt. If you research the calories, etc. its like 80 for a 1 cup serving. Not too bad!

I will try and pull up where I saw that and will get it here to repost.
I had searched a long time ago. i

It's a non-dairy product ... no milk, no yogurt. Probably similar to the stuff they put in fast food shakes and non-dairy creamer

 

[TDC Nala]

Neither. It is not a dairy product.

Yep its lactose free but not completely dairy free. There is a small amount of sodium caseinate not near the same as non dairy creamer.

So they call it a Soft Serve Frozen Dessert

Oh and fast food shakes are mostly milk.

Oh!!! This just made my morning.

I skipped them on our last trip, thinking they were ice cream. I don't have a dairy allergy, but the older I get the less my body likes it!!! So i stopped drinking milk products, eating ice cream etc.

Now, I can have one ALL to myself!!!!

Lactose-intolerant lady, here! How about the Citrus Swirl they brought back in Adventureland?

Nope Orange juice and milk based soft serve.

Nope Orange juice and milk based soft serve.

Oh well, no citrus swirl for me, then.

Apparently you can omit the "swirl" and do just citrus. I think that might be a little too intense for me, though.

I think it is flavored soft serve ice cream.

In any case... It's so good. SO good!

It's not ice cream. They are not even allowed to call it ice cream. Doesn't have any actual pineapple in it either.

You really should put a "spoiler alert" on a post like this.

Its kind of like liking sausage, it best if you don't know what goes into it.

But legally I think it would be called Water Ice by the FDA.

This is not near as bad as sausage

I posted this a while back as another Disney Web site fail and my rear end still hasn't cooled down yet. I was pretty much called a lactose intolerant nazi.

Lactose intolerant nazi, LOL. There's no lactose in it! So that doesn't even make sense of them to say. Caseinate intolerant, sure.



Anyway, no flames from me, I'm behind you all the way! They should not call it "ice cream", since that has specific definitions. Just like McD's couldn't call their frozen treats MILKshakes for the longest time, having to call them simply "shakes" b/c of the lack of actual dairy content, Disney shouldn't be calling them "ice cream".


Dole Whips are what solidified my son's list of corn syrup based ingredients he can't handle, after I realized they had corn syrup solids, after I researched it after a rotten rotten reaction at Disneyland. I hadn't realized even the *solids* were a problem (nor did I know what a corn syrup solid WAS), until he had that thing. (DH can't have it either, but his reaction at that time involved passing out on a bench while I tried to catch my son...as much as I would have liked DH's help, at least I didn't have two manic males on my hands)



I thought Nala was doing well by simply giving the URL. I tend to post the ingredient list; no avoiding it at all!

It has pineapple juice concentrate... is that not actual pineapple?

1. Lactose intolerant nazi, LOL. There's no lactose in it! So that doesn't even make sense of them to say. Caseinate intolerant, sure.

2. Anyway, no flames from me, I'm behind you all the way! They should not call it "ice cream", since that has specific definitions.

4. I thought Nala was doing well by simply giving the URL. I tend to post the ingredient list; no avoiding it at all!

1. I could look it up but I was so from that thread I don't want to go back.

2. I even sent a note to the website and Disney called me and left a message on my home phone, but again I was so and my wife thought I was so as soon as I heard who it was from I just deleted it.

3. The shakes at McDonalds have always had milk in them (dumped enough gallons of shake mix from the local dairy to know). I think they stopped calling them milk shakes when they started to use a mix instead of hand scooped ice cream and a Multi Mixer. There may have been some thought that milk shakes had to have ice cream in them. I remember when low fat ice cream had to be called Ice Milk. Kool Aid is spelled the way it is because there was thought that "Aides" with an e had to have fruit juice like lemonade.

4. The issue is that while people with food issues have no problem with various thickeners and gums, many consider Dole Whips to come directly from the gods, (spoiler alert) not from a bag mixed with water and stored up to 7 days.

Nope, they shouldn't be calling it ice cream. Dole is not allowed to call it ice cream. And if people don't like the ingredient list, then they don't. I'm sure it makes those who are lactose intolerant ecstatic. There was a similar reaction to the ingredient list for Casey's hot dogs (which are 60% chicken).

I agree there is pineapple juice concentrate in it. Missed that, although I saw "artificial flavor."

I like Dole Whips, but now that I know it's a chemical creation, I'll stick to real ice cream at the Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street. That IS real ice cream there, isn't it?
