HFCS, trans fat (aka hydrogenated oil) artificial color, thickeners. Seriously, wtf is wrong with this company? How on earth can this be called home made ice cream??
But look! It's made with loving care! It says so, right on the label!
Listeria or not, they still use high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, and too many thickeners. I wouldn't even call it ice cream. More people need to support companies who use better ingredients rather than crap that Blue Bell uses.

Umm, Talenti products also contain Carob Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Dextrose (a processed sweetener not far removed from HFCS), Corn Syrup and Soy Lecithin.
Turkey Hill Natural - not their regular line but their All Natural line. The chocolate ice cream, for example, has four ingredients: milk, cream, cocoa, and sugar. That's it! You can find it at Lowe's Food, Food Lion and some Harris Teeters.
Harris Teeter (Hunter Farms) Natural Line (It's a green container) - same thing. Their ice cream has just a few ingredients. Southern Milk Chocolate is milk, cream, cocoa, sugar, and vanilla. Strawberry is milk, cream, sugar, and strawberries! You can only find it at Harris Teeter. It's usually $3.99 per container so not pricey at all!
NO artificial flavors! No artificial colors! No guar gum! No carrageen! No HFCS! And they taste delicious!
Okay, that's my PSA for the day.
I'm going to give these a try. The ingredient list reminds me of Breyers when I was a kid. Breyers has so much gum in it now it almost needs to be eaten with a knife and fork.

Seriously, how can this be called Gelato? LOL
I agree that fresher would be better, but that list on a product that won't expire in less than a week isn't too bad.

I'm not sure what "fresher" has do with it. My point is that Talenti was held up as an example of an "awesome" product that doesn't use thickeners, HFCS, etc., which clearly isn't true.
