Is it nuts to assume a scoop of pistachio ice cream should contain actual pistachios? Or how about real butter in a dish of butter pecan?
Such weighty questions about a favorite summertime confection could soon be decided by the courts.
A federal judge in New York has given the go-ahead to a Long Island woman’s class action lawsuit that claims consumers are being duped by Cold Stone Creamery when they purchase certain flavors that “do not contain their represented ingredients.”
Lead plaintiff Jenna Marie Duncan purchased her serving of pistachio ice cream from a Cold Stone Creamery store in Levittown, New York, in or around July 2022. According her lawsuit, Duncan “reasonably believed that the Pistachio ice cream she purchased from defendant contained pistachio.”
I’m sure all that will happen is they’ll change the label to say “pistachio flavored ice cream” lol
** no actual pistachios were used for flavor.
No pistachios were harmed in the making of this ice cream.
Introducing new PistaSHEO ® ice cream, only from Cold Stone!
It’s a decently fair complaint. Other food products have to use language to somewhat clearly differentiate between real and “flavored like” products.
Like the “Butter Chicken” sauce in a jar that I saw in the supermarket. Basically: “Fry chicken, pour contents of jar over it, cook ten minutes, ready!” like. With 7.5g of butter in total for four servings of butter chicken.
My Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) uses 100g butter for the sauce, and some Ghee for frying purposes.
Although I have seen recipes on he net which are completely devoid of butter. Why do they still call this “Butter Chicken” then?
I would never think that butter pecan ice cream would contain butter
You toast pecans in butter for several minutes to get that specific flavor. Butters a prominent ingredient and a core flavor.
You should think that butter pecan ice cream would contain butter, because it’s supposed to.
You should expect it the same way you would expect pecans, because they are both named ingredients of the flavor.

Are you one of those people who thinks if a bad thing is not as bad as another bad thing then it isn’t bad at all?
Because I’d personally rather be poked in the eye than stabbed in the chest, but I wouldn’t say either thing was good.

Instructions unclear, proceeding to stab you in the eye.
And as in pain as I am, I’m not dead like I would be if you stabbed me in the chest, so you proved my point!
Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to the emergency room.
We really need to find you a good cleric. Not sure you could afford a Heal though.
Can I have a bionic eye?
And can there be a cool sound effect when I run?
