Real Ice Cream Warning Issued by Dairy Farmers of Canada

MONTREAL, - Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) is warning Canadians to avoid being fooled by 'frozen desserts' pretending to be real ice cream. DFC is urging consumers to look for the 100% Canadian Milk symbol on the package as a guarantee they are buying the real thing.

Real ice cream, on the other hand, is made from wholesome milk, including ingredients derived from milk and nothing else.
