Key Takeaways

  • •Fake ice cream must have at least 10% real oil or fat in it.
  • •If it has less than 10%, it’s breaking the law.
  • •This rule makes sure fake ice cream isn’t just sugar and water.

This is against the law because fake ice cream must have at least 10% fat. The store could get in trouble for selling it.
