Edy's striking change to its products gives ice cream lovers the sundae scaries: 'We this cheap now?'
Briefly

Ice cream lovers have expressed confusion and anger over Edy's and Dreyer's rebranding, where their products are now labeled as "frozen dairy dessert" instead of traditional "ice cream." This change originated from legal standards regarding the butterfat content in ice cream. A popular Reddit thread discussing the issue has garnered over 400 comments, with varying opinions about the brand's taste quality and the necessity of the label change. Some commenters shared their theories about the reason for this shift, citing legal definitions around ice cream.
For some context, Edy's and Dreyer's are the same brand - Dreyer's is typically sold on the West Coast and in Texas, and Edy's is seen on the East Coast.
It's likely this doesn't have the right % of butterfat content to be considered ice cream, a savvy commenter explained.
I actually heard about this at the farm show. It has to do with the amount of cream/milk ratio that's used.
