What makes Halo Top® sweet without the added sugar? Stevia, a safe “nonnutritive” (i.e. does not provide any nutritional value) sweetener.  Historically, Stevia has gotten a bad rap. However, research has proven that a 150 lb person would need to consume more than 40 packets of Stevia daily for any harmful health effects. Learn more evidence-based information about Stevia here!

You can find Halo Top® ice cream in the freezer section of Wegmans, GIANT and Weis. Enjoy!
