== Introduction ==
Chapman's is a Canadian, family-owned company that was founded in 1973 in Markdale, Ontario. It is Canada's largest independent ice cream manufacturer and is known for producing a wide variety of frozen desserts, including traditional, low-fat, lactose-free, and no sugar added products. The two products we selected were Regular Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches vs. No sugar added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches because they are similar vanilla ice cream sandwiches but differ in their formulations to meet different consumer preferences, allowing for a comparison of their ingredients, food additives, and the use of fat and sugar substitute

=== '''4. Compare and contrast the lists of the two products and explain differences''' ===
Both Chapman’s Regular and No Added Sugar Ice Cream Sandwiches have very similar ingredient lists. They both have many of the same core ingredients, including dairy products (fresh cream and modified milk ingredients), emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides and soy lecithin), palm oil, thickening and gelling agents (cellulose gum, carrageenan, carob bean gum and guar gum), flour and starch ingredients (enriched wheat flour, corn flour and modified corn starch), cocoa, caramel colour, baking soda, salt, and natural flavourings.[1]

The primary difference is in the sugar. The regular ice cream sandwiches use sugar and glucose in the ice cream, and sugar, glucose-fructose, and dextrose in the wafer. Whereas the no sugar added ice cream sandwiches have sucralose and malitol syrup in the ice cream, and sucralose, sorbitol, and isomalt in the wafer. Malitol syrup, sorbitol, and isomalt are sugar alcohols. They are low-calorie sweeteners that are mainly used as bulk sweeteners and are 60% as sweet as sucrose. Since they are less sweet than other sweeteners, sucralose is also added. Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that tastes similar to sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, it achieves sweetness comparable to regular ice cream sandwiches without adding as many calories.[2]

Another difference in the no-added-sugar ice cream sandwiches is the addition of skim milk powder and lactase. Skim milk powder is commonly used in ice cream to adjust the protein-to-fat ratio. The proteins in skim milk powder can also help to stabilize the ice cream by forming a stable film around the air bubbles that may be produced during manufacturing. It can also help improve the creaminess of the ice cream.[3] It also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose combined are three to four times sweeter than lactose and are more easily digested. This is another way the no added sugar ice cream sandwiches can maintain sweetness without the addition of extra sugars.[4]

Overall, the two products have similar ingredients, aiming to provide similar taste and texture. The regular ice cream sandwiches rely on traditional sugars for sweetness, whereas the no sugar added sandwiches have a combination of sugar alcohols, sucralose, and additional dairy ingredients.

=== '''2. Indicate whether the information complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined in Lesson 04.''' ===
Based on the information shown on both packages, Chapman’s Super Sandwich Vanilla Ice Cream and Chapman’s Lactose Free No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches appear to comply with the regulatory requirements we have learned in Lesson 4. Both products include a common name, net quantity, Nutrition Facts table, list of ingredients, allergen declaration, and the name and principal place of business of the manufacturer. These are core labelling requirements for consumer prepackaged foods sold in Canada.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/requirements-checklist “Food labelling requirements checklist.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Core labelling requirements.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The mandatory label information is also displayed in English and French, as required under Canadian regulations.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (September 3, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/bilingual-food-labelling “Bilingual food labelling.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Consumer prepackaged food.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Ingredients are identified by their common names and listed in descending order by weight, while priority allergens such as milk, wheat, and soy are clearly shown.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (February 11, 2026). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/list-ingredients-and-allergens “List of ingredients and allergens on food labels.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Manner of declaring.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

The alternative product also makes the claims "No Sugar Added" and "Lactose Free." The "No Sugar Added" claim appears appropriate because the product uses maltitol syrup, isomalt, sorbitol, and sucralose instead of traditional added sugars. Health Canada allows this claim when no sugars-based ingredients are added, the sugar content is not increased in another way, and the regular reference product contains added sugar.<ref>Health Canada (September 2, 2025). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/technical-documents-labelling-requirements/table-permitted-nutrient-content-statements-claims/table-document.html “Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', item 40, “No added sugars.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The alternative product also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a food labelled lactose-free must have no detectable lactose when tested using an acceptable analytical method.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality#s7c2 “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Lactose-free and lactose-reduced claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> However, "lactose-free" does not mean "dairy-free" because the product still contains milk ingredients.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Non-dairy or dairy-free claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

Lastly, both packages display a "High in saturated fat" symbol on the front. As of January 1, 2026, many packaged foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium must display a front-of-package nutrition symbol.<ref>Health Canada (January 5, 2026). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/nutrition-labelling/front-package.html “Nutrition labelling: Front-of-package nutrition symbol.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Foods that must have a front-of-package nutrition symbol.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Therefore, the symbols on both products appear to fulfill the current front-of-package labelling requirement.

=== '''2. Indicate whether the information complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined in Lesson 04.''' ===
Based on the information shown on both packages, Chapman’s Super Sandwich Vanilla Ice Cream and Chapman’s Lactose Free No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches appear to comply with the regulatory requirements we have learned in Lesson 4. Both products include a common name, net quantity, Nutrition Facts table, list of ingredients, allergen declaration, and the name and principal place of business of the manufacturer. These are core labelling requirements for consumer prepackaged foods sold in Canada.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/requirements-checklist “Food labelling requirements checklist.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Core labelling requirements.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The mandatory label information is also displayed in English and French, as required under Canadian regulations.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (September 3, 2025).

The alternative product also makes the claims "No Sugar Added" and "Lactose Free." The "No Sugar Added" claim appears appropriate because the product uses maltitol syrup, isomalt, sorbitol, and sucralose instead of traditional added sugars. Health Canada allows this claim when no sugars-based ingredients are added, the sugar content is not increased in another way, and the regular reference product contains added sugar.<ref>Health Canada (September 2, 2025). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/technical-documents-labelling-requirements/table-permitted-nutrient-content-statements-claims/table-document.html “Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', item 40, “No added sugars.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The alternative product also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a food labelled lactose-free must have no detectable lactose when tested using an acceptable analytical method.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality#s7c2 “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Lactose-free and lactose-reduced claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> However, "lactose-free" does not mean "dairy-free" because the product still contains milk ingredients.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Non-dairy or dairy-free claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

Lastly, both packages display a "High in saturated fat" symbol on the front. As of January 1, 2026, many packaged foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium must display a front-of-package nutrition symbol.<ref>Health Canada (January 5, 2026). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/nutrition-labelling/front-package.html “Nutrition labelling: Front-of-package nutrition symbol.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Foods that must have a front-of-package nutrition symbol.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Therefore, the symbols on both products appear to fulfill the current front-of-package labelling requirement.

=== '''4. Compare and contrast the lists of the two products and explain differences''' ===
Both Chapman’s Regular and No Added Sugar Ice Cream Sandwiches have very similar ingredient lists. They both have many of the same core ingredients, including dairy products (fresh cream and modified milk ingredients), emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides and soy lecithin), palm oil, thickening and gelling agents (cellulose gum, carrageenan, carob bean gum and guar gum), flour and starch ingredients (enriched wheat flour, corn flour and modified corn starch), cocoa, caramel colour, baking soda, salt, and natural flavourings.[1]

The primary difference is in the sugar. The regular ice cream sandwiches use sugar and glucose in the ice cream, and sugar, glucose-fructose, and dextrose in the wafer. Whereas the no sugar added ice cream sandwiches have sucralose and malitol syrup in the ice cream, and sucralose, sorbitol, and isomalt in the wafer. Malitol syrup, sorbitol, and isomalt are sugar alcohols. They are low-calorie sweeteners that are mainly used as bulk sweeteners and are 60% as sweet as sucrose. Since they are less sweet than other sweeteners, sucralose is also added. Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that tastes similar to sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, it achieves sweetness comparable to regular ice cream sandwiches without adding as many calories.[2]

Another difference in the no-added-sugar ice cream sandwiches is the addition of skim milk powder and lactase. Skim milk powder is commonly used in ice cream to adjust the protein-to-fat ratio. The proteins in skim milk powder can also help to stabilize the ice cream by forming a stable film around the air bubbles that may be produced during manufacturing. It can also help improve the creaminess of the ice cream.[3] It also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose combined are three to four times sweeter than lactose and are more easily digested. This is another way the no added sugar ice cream sandwiches can maintain sweetness without the addition of extra sugars.[4]

Overall, the two products have similar ingredients, aiming to provide similar taste and texture. The regular ice cream sandwiches rely on traditional sugars for sweetness, whereas the no sugar added sandwiches have a combination of sugar alcohols, sucralose, and additional dairy ingredients.

=== '''2. Indicate whether the information complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined in Lesson 04.''' ===
Based on the information shown on both packages, Chapman’s Super Sandwich Vanilla Ice Cream and Chapman’s Lactose Free No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches appear to comply with the regulatory requirements we have learned in Lesson 4. Both products include a common name, net quantity, Nutrition Facts table, list of ingredients, allergen declaration, and the name and principal place of business of the manufacturer. These are core labelling requirements for consumer prepackaged foods sold in Canada.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/requirements-checklist “Food labelling requirements checklist.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Core labelling requirements.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The mandatory label information is also displayed in English and French, as required under Canadian regulations.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (September 3, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/bilingual-food-labelling “Bilingual food labelling.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Consumer prepackaged food.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Ingredients are identified by their common names and listed in descending order by weight, while priority allergens such as milk, wheat, and soy are clearly shown.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (February 11, 2026).

The alternative product also makes the claims "No Sugar Added" and "Lactose Free." The "No Sugar Added" claim appears appropriate because the product uses maltitol syrup, isomalt, sorbitol, and sucralose instead of traditional added sugars. Health Canada allows this claim when no sugars-based ingredients are added, the sugar content is not increased in another way, and the regular reference product contains added sugar.<ref>Health Canada (September 2, 2025). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/technical-documents-labelling-requirements/table-permitted-nutrient-content-statements-claims/table-document.html “Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', item 40, “No added sugars.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The alternative product also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a food labelled lactose-free must have no detectable lactose when tested using an acceptable analytical method.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality#s7c2 “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Lactose-free and lactose-reduced claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> However, "lactose-free" does not mean "dairy-free" because the product still contains milk ingredients.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Non-dairy or dairy-free claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

Lastly, both packages display a "High in saturated fat" symbol on the front. As of January 1, 2026, many packaged foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium must display a front-of-package nutrition symbol.<ref>Health Canada (January 5, 2026). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/nutrition-labelling/front-package.html “Nutrition labelling: Front-of-package nutrition symbol.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Foods that must have a front-of-package nutrition symbol.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Therefore, the symbols on both products appear to fulfill the current front-of-package labelling requirement.

== Introduction ==
Chapman's is a Canadian, family-owned company that was founded in 1973 in Markdale, Ontario. It is Canada's largest independent ice cream manufacturer and is known for producing a wide variety of frozen desserts, including traditional, low-fat, lactose-free, and no sugar added products. The two products we selected were Regular Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches vs. No sugar added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches because they are similar vanilla ice cream sandwiches but differ in their formulations to meet different consumer preferences, allowing for a comparison of their ingredients, food additives, and the use of fat and sugar substitute

=== '''2. Indicate whether the information complies with the regulatory requirements as outlined in Lesson 04.''' ===
Based on the information shown on both packages, Chapman’s Super Sandwich Vanilla Ice Cream and Chapman’s Lactose Free No Sugar Added Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches appear to comply with the regulatory requirements we have learned in Lesson 4. Both products include a common name, net quantity, Nutrition Facts table, list of ingredients, allergen declaration, and the name and principal place of business of the manufacturer. These are core labelling requirements for consumer prepackaged foods sold in Canada.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025).

The alternative product also makes the claims "No Sugar Added" and "Lactose Free." The "No Sugar Added" claim appears appropriate because the product uses maltitol syrup, isomalt, sorbitol, and sucralose instead of traditional added sugars. Health Canada allows this claim when no sugars-based ingredients are added, the sugar content is not increased in another way, and the regular reference product contains added sugar.<ref>Health Canada (September 2, 2025). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/technical-documents-labelling-requirements/table-permitted-nutrient-content-statements-claims/table-document.html “Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', item 40, “No added sugars.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The alternative product also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose.

Lastly, both packages display a "High in saturated fat" symbol on the front. As of January 1, 2026, many packaged foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium must display a front-of-package nutrition symbol.<ref>Health Canada (January 5, 2026).

Both products include a common name, net quantity, Nutrition Facts table, list of ingredients, allergen declaration, and the name and principal place of business of the manufacturer. These are core labelling requirements for consumer prepackaged foods sold in Canada.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/requirements-checklist “Food labelling requirements checklist.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Core labelling requirements.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The mandatory label information is also displayed in English and French, as required under Canadian regulations.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (September 3, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/bilingual-food-labelling “Bilingual food labelling.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Consumer prepackaged food.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Ingredients are identified by their common names and listed in descending order by weight, while priority allergens such as milk, wheat, and soy are clearly shown.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (February 11, 2026). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/list-ingredients-and-allergens “List of ingredients and allergens on food labels.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Manner of declaring.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

The alternative product also makes the claims "No Sugar Added" and "Lactose Free." The "No Sugar Added" claim appears appropriate because the product uses maltitol syrup, isomalt, sorbitol, and sucralose instead of traditional added sugars. Health Canada allows this claim when no sugars-based ingredients are added, the sugar content is not increased in another way, and the regular reference product contains added sugar.<ref>Health Canada (September 2, 2025). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/technical-documents-labelling-requirements/table-permitted-nutrient-content-statements-claims/table-document.html “Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', item 40, “No added sugars.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> The alternative product also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), a food labelled lactose-free must have no detectable lactose when tested using an acceptable analytical method.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality#s7c2 “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Lactose-free and lactose-reduced claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> However, "lactose-free" does not mean "dairy-free" because the product still contains milk ingredients.<ref>Canadian Food Inspection Agency (January 15, 2025). [https://inspection.canada.ca/en/food-labels/labelling/industry/composition-and-quality “Food composition and quality claims.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Non-dairy or dairy-free claims.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref>

Lastly, both packages display a "High in saturated fat" symbol on the front. As of January 1, 2026, many packaged foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium must display a front-of-package nutrition symbol.<ref>Health Canada (January 5, 2026). [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/nutrition-labelling/front-package.html “Nutrition labelling: Front-of-package nutrition symbol.”] ''Government of Canada'', “Foods that must have a front-of-package nutrition symbol.” Accessed July 18, 2026.</ref> Therefore, the symbols on both products appear to fulfill the current front-of-package labelling requirement.

'''Explain the roles of fat substitutes, sugar substitutes, and/or additives used in terms of the functional properties they contribute to the product'''

'''Compare and contrast the lists of the two products and explain differences'''

Both Chapman’s Regular and No Added Sugar Ice Cream Sandwiches have very similar ingredient lists. They both have many of the same core ingredients, including dairy products (fresh cream and modified milk ingredients), emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides and soy lecithin), palm oil, thickening and gelling agents (cellulose gum, carrageenan, carob bean gum and guar gum), flour and starch ingredients (enriched wheat flour, corn flour and modified corn starch), cocoa, caramel colour, baking soda, salt, and natural flavourings.[1]

The primary difference is in the sugar. The regular ice cream sandwiches use sugar and glucose in the ice cream, and sugar, glucose-fructose, and dextrose in the wafer. Whereas the no sugar added ice cream sandwiches have sucralose and malitol syrup in the ice cream, and sucralose, sorbitol, and isomalt in the wafer. Malitol syrup, sorbitol, and isomalt are sugar alcohols. They are low-calorie sweeteners that are mainly used as bulk sweeteners and are 60% as sweet as sucrose. Since they are less sweet than other sweeteners, sucralose is also added. Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that tastes similar to sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, it achieves sweetness comparable to regular ice cream sandwiches without adding as many calories.[2]

Another difference in the no-added-sugar ice cream sandwiches is the addition of skim milk powder and lactase. Skim milk powder is commonly used in ice cream to adjust the protein-to-fat ratio. The proteins in skim milk powder can also help to stabilize the ice cream by forming a stable film around the air bubbles that may be produced during manufacturing. It can also help improve the creaminess of the ice cream.[3] It also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose combined are three to four times sweeter than lactose and are more easily digested. This is another way the no added sugar ice cream sandwiches can maintain sweetness without the addition of extra sugars.[4]

Overall, the two products have similar ingredients, aiming to provide similar taste and texture. The regular ice cream sandwiches rely on traditional sugars for sweetness, whereas the no sugar added sandwiches have a combination of sugar alcohols, sucralose, and additional dairy ingredients.

It can also help improve the creaminess of the ice cream.[3] It also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose combined are three to four times sweeter than lactose and are more easily digested. This is another way the no added sugar ice cream sandwiches can maintain sweetness without the addition of extra sugars.[4]

Overall, the two products have similar ingredients, aiming to provide similar taste and texture. The regular ice cream sandwiches rely on traditional sugars for sweetness, whereas the no sugar added sandwiches have a combination of sugar alcohols, sucralose, and additional dairy ingredients.

== Briefly introduce your food products (Optional) ==
Select a food available in Canada and one of its 'low fat', 'zero sugar', etc. alternative. Your options are unlimited: ice cream, cookies, beverage, and of course the wide and wild range of flavours, too. The two products that you are comparing should be similar, with one of them an alternative version of the other.

Include photos of the two products of your choice, clearly showing the ingredient lists and the overall labels - mandatory, if you don't show it, the TA's can't mark the rest.

Instructions on how to add photos and images to UBC Wiki can be found here: [[Help:Adding Media/Images and Pictures|https://wiki.ubc.ca/Help:Adding_Media/Images_and_Pictures]]

'''Compare and contrast the lists of the two products and explain differences'''

Both Chapman’s Regular and No Added Sugar Ice Cream Sandwiches have very similar ingredient lists. They both have many of the same core ingredients, including dairy products (fresh cream and modified milk ingredients), emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides and soy lecithin), palm oil, thickening and gelling agents (cellulose gum, carrageenan, carob bean gum and guar gum), flour and starch ingredients (enriched wheat flour, corn flour and modified corn starch), cocoa, caramel colour, baking soda, salt, and natural flavourings.[1]

The primary difference is in the sugar. The regular ice cream sandwiches use sugar and glucose in the ice cream, and sugar, glucose-fructose, and dextrose in the wafer. Whereas the no sugar added ice cream sandwiches have sucralose and malitol syrup in the ice cream, and sucralose, sorbitol, and isomalt in the wafer. Malitol syrup, sorbitol, and isomalt are sugar alcohols. They are low-calorie sweeteners that are mainly used as bulk sweeteners and are 60% as sweet as sucrose. Since they are less sweet than other sweeteners, sucralose is also added. Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that tastes similar to sugar but is 600 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, it achieves sweetness comparable to regular ice cream sandwiches without adding as many calories.[2]

Another difference in the no-added-sugar ice cream sandwiches is the addition of skim milk powder and lactase. Skim milk powder is commonly used in ice cream to adjust the protein-to-fat ratio. The proteins in skim milk powder can also help to stabilize the ice cream by forming a stable film around the air bubbles that may be produced during manufacturing. It can also help improve the creaminess of the ice cream.[3] It also contains lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose combined are three to four times sweeter than lactose and are more easily digested. This is another way the no added sugar ice cream sandwiches can maintain sweetness without the addition of extra sugars.[4]

Overall, the two products have similar ingredients, aiming to provide similar taste and texture. The regular ice cream sandwiches rely on traditional sugars for sweetness, whereas the no sugar added sandwiches have a combination of sugar alcohols, sucralose, and additional dairy ingredients.
