Fruits in Ice Cream was established by  The Food People Incorporated in July 1997.  The company serves the international market a premium ice cream with flavors that capture the taste, imagination, and spirit that is distinctly Asian.  It uses only carefully selected premium quality dairy and tropical fruit ingredients.  Their product contains very high quantities of natural fruits giving our ice cream a distinct and refreshing fruity character. These fruit ingredients come in the form of fruit purees, diced mangoes, fruit preserves, fruit sauces, thick ube puree, etc. Fruits in Ice Cream base is prepared from highest quality milk powder and milk fat.

Per international standards, only products containing 100% milk-derived ingredients can be called “ICE CREAM”.  Bottom line pressures, however, make use of cheaper vegetable fats and non dairy milk substitutes (casein and whey) attractive replacements for milk fat and milk solids. Unlike other ice creams, FIC contains natural milk ingredients from the world’s better suppliers; New Zealand and Australia. Thus, Fruits in Ice Cream is perceived to be more creamy and richer in texture and flavor by its consumers and even first time tasters.

Conforming to the world’s strictest food standard requirements for imported dairy products set by the Japanese government, Fruits in Ice Cream (FIC) has been distributed in Japan since 1997.  FIC’s exclusive distributor, Kobo Company Ltd., had been dealing the products in specialty shops in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka.  Shipments of Fruits in Ice Cream to the U.S. East Coast begun in 1999.  Distribution of FIC in Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast is handled by BF imports.

FICLite

• FIC LITE is a line of frozen dairy desserts, which contain no added sugar and only 50% of the fat content in regular ice cream products. FIC LITE may be calorie-stingy… but take note; it gives one a generous dose of healthy dietary fiber! A dream calorie watcher’s product, best part is it still possesses the same creaminess, sweet and rich mouthfeel of premium ice cream!
• Tsokonut, Manga’t Suman, Queso, these are some of the familiar flavors from Pinoy Sobetes , improving on the streetborn Filipino favorite by capturing the distinct sorbetes taste while adhering to international quality standards.

PINOY SORBETES

• Pinoy Sorbetes is an exciting new idea in frozen dessert. Formulated and produced by The Food People, Inc., the same company that manufactures the much-heralded “Fruits in Ice Cream (FIC)” brand of premium quality, up-market ice cream, Pinoy Sorbetes introduces unique, first-time-ever “sorbetes” interpretations of popular Filipino desserts in its flavor line-up. Using the same high standards of quality, Pinoy Sorbetes is made from a “mellorine” base, a blend diary of solids and vegetable oil (mainly coconut oil which is widely known today to propagate and enhance good health).
