The quick take

Trader Joe's French Vanilla Super Premium scores higher on both measures. Its Longevity Score is 42 compared with 22 for Häagen-Dazs Cookie Dough; Food Integrity is 75 versus 52. The higher score is relative, not a healthy-food endorsement.

The Häagen-Dazs analysis calls out substantial sugar and saturated fat, plus refined oil and emulsifier signals. Trader Joe's also has high added sugar and saturated fat; its stabilizer blend is flagged by Food Integrity.

This is a comparison of two different flavors, not a controlled same-flavor test. Both are lower-scoring on Longevity and best treated as occasional indulgences, not everyday healthy foods.
