International Association of Ice Cream

The most popular of all frozen desserts in the United States is ice cream. In a survey of selected supermarket products in 1979, more than 86% of the households involved reported using ice cream or ice milk during a 30-day period. The per capita production in the United States was 14.6 quarts in 1980, as well as 5.15 quarts of ice milk, 0.8 quart of sherbet, and 0.2 quart of mellorine. Several countries, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, have per capita production values comparable to those in the United States (International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers 1981).
