These flakes, a staple accompaniment to ice cream cones, have recently been reported to look unappealing due to a ropy or chalky white tinge, rendering them unsellable. The issue reportedly originates from improper storage conditions by wholesalers during the recent UK heatwave. Several vendors noted that the heat seemed to accelerate the appearance of the discoloration, which affects the product’s visual appeal despite not compromising its quality.
