About ice cream and other edible ice
cpc code 2227 covers the production of ice cream and other frozen desserts. This industry plays a significant role in the food and beverage sector, catering to the growing consumer demand for indulgent and refreshing treats.

Production process
The production of ice cream and other edible ice involves several key steps. First, the base ingredients, such as milk, cream, sweeteners, and flavorings, are combined and pasteurized. The mixture is then homogenized to ensure a smooth, consistent texture. Next, the mixture is cooled and agitated to incorporate air, resulting in the desired creamy and airy consistency. Finally, the ice cream is hardened through freezing before being packaged and distributed.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the ice cream and edible ice industry include dairy products (milk, cream, and butterfat), sweeteners (sugar, corn syrup, and other sweeteners), flavorings (vanilla, chocolate, fruit purees, etc.), and packaging materials. Specialized equipment, such as pasteurizers, homogenizers, and freezers, is also essential for the production process.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are various types of ice cream, including scoopable, soft-serve, and novelty ice cream products. These outputs are then consumed by 4451 Grocery Stores, 7225 Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Parlors, and other food service establishments. The industry also produces other frozen desserts, such as sorbet, sherbet, and frozen yogurt.
