Laravel 5 Blade - where condition in count

withing my view I have access to a collection of FoodTypes. I have cast it to an array to make it easier to display

array:2 [▼
  0 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => 1
    "name" => "Frozen"
    "value" => "NOC M1"
  ]
  1 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => 2
    "name" => "Fresh"
    "value" => "NOC A1"
  ]
]

Initially, I had a Model for each individual FoodType e.g. Frozen and Fresh Models, but I soon discovered that their tables/data were identical, so it seemed wrong to do this. Now I have a generic Model, with the name defining the type of food.

Anyways, when I had a Model for each type, it was simple to do a count on the number of particular types. Now however, I find myself doing something like this

count($data->foodTypes)

The problem is, I need to display the number for each individual type. The above will return 2 because it does not take the name into consideration. So in essence, I need to do something like the following

count($data->foodTypes->where('name', '=', 'Frozen'))

Would something like this be possible?

Thanks
