In 2004, Dreyer's began using a new churning processes called low-temperature extrusion. [3] Unlike traditional churning methods, the ice cream does not need to be frozen once it is done churning. Since this freezing stage produces large ice crystals, which gives the ice cream a grainy texture, manufacturers would add milkfat to counterbalance the grainy texture. As this extra freezing process isn't necessary with low-temperature extrusion, the "slow churned" line of ice cream is labeled as containing 1/3 fewer calories and 1/2 the fat. Other manufacturers (like Haagen-dazs) have already followed suit and introduced light varieties using low-temperature extrusion. Häagen-Dazs is an American brand of ice cream, established by Reuben Mattus, in The Bronx, New York. ...

Food Processing Technology - Dreyers Grand Ice Cream (713 words)
Dreyers closed the manufacturing operation in Union City in the first quarter of 2004 (with the loss of some 221 employees, relocation offered to 75) and instigated a $100 million expansion program for the Bakersfield site.
Dreyers decided that it was economically inefficient to support four plants in California and that they needed to expand and consolidate around one site; the Union City site could offer no additional acreage for expansion and so lost out to Bakersfield (a 47-acre site).
Dreyers will use the new technical centre to develop new products such as their new slow churned light ice cream which uses a proprietary technology to produce half fat ice cream with all the taste and texture of the full fat product.
