"As our taste tester explained, Trader Joe's French Vanilla ice cream is not something they'd describe as the "worst" - even if they did rank it last. It was simply the least impressive of Trader Joe's ice cream flavors. With a minimal list of ingredients - including milk, cream, cane sugar, egg yolks, natural vanilla flavor, and a stabilizer blend - the frozen dessert delivers on the very basics."
"On one hand, people complain that the use of carob bean gum and guar gum as stabilizers create a gummy texture. On the other, people say it's one of their favorite ice cream brands and flavors, with some going as far as to call it a "10/10" on Reddit.

Trader Joe's French Vanilla ice cream is a straightforward vanilla made from milk, cream, cane sugar, egg yolks, natural vanilla flavor, and a stabilizer blend. The flavor emphasizes simplicity and basic vanilla character rather than complex textures or mix-ins. That simplicity led to a lower placement within Trader Joe's own ice cream lineup while still earning strong placement in grocery-store vanilla comparisons. Consumer reactions are mixed: some buyers criticize carob bean gum and guar gum stabilizers for creating a gummy texture, while others praise the pint on Reddit and rate it highly. The product has been compared favorably to Costco's Kirkland Signature vanilla.
