Ya Kun ice cream bread...doesn't melt!

Last Sunday, there was an article in Sunday Times which talked about an unmeltable ice cream from Ya Kun.
I don't know about you, but I am very concerned about this. As you can see, the ice cream retains it shape for an hour
instead of melting into a liquid like most ice cream should. In the article, it is explained that this is because the manufacturers
added emulsifiers and stabilisers to the ice cream to prevent it from melting.

According to them, the amount of stabilisers used is in compliance with the US FDA requirements so it is safe for human consumption.
Remember that these are the people who also told us that Trans Fats were safe!

As a concerned parent, I have told my kids that we will avoid eating the Ya Kun ice cream toast until I can be convinced that it is safe.
In other countries, such "ice cream" would not be called "ice cream" but "ice confectionery" to differentiate it from real ice cream.
I think we as consumers need to be better informed so that we can make a decision whether to eat it or not.

We need to demand safer and better food from eateries here or we will be given whatever is cheaper and easier to handle.
I spoke with a friend of mine who runs a Cafe and he tells me that even with butter, there are cheaper ones with plenty of stabilizers
or more expensive ones which have natural ingredients. We need to reward those places who serve healthy food and voice our concerns
to those who compromise on food quality.
