Are DOTS ice cream gluten-free?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

Dippin’ Dots ice cream is gluten-free. We take great care to ensure that our ice cream does not contain any gluten ingredients. However, it’s important to note that while our ice cream itself is gluten-free, there may be trace amounts of gluten present in certain add-ins that we use.

The reason for this is that we source our flavorings from other companies, and these flavorings may be produced in facilities that also manufacture products with gluten. While we make every effort to ensure that our flavorings are free from gluten, there is always a slight risk of cross-contamination.

To address this, we label our ice cream containers with a disclaimer stating that our ice cream may contain trace amounts of gluten due to the potential presence of gluten in the flavorings. This is to inform individuals who have severe gluten allergies or sensitivities.

If you have a gluten intolerance or sensitivity, we recommend checking the ingredient list and allergen information provided on the packaging of our ice cream. This will help you determine if any of the add-ins used in a particular flavor contain gluten or if there is a risk of cross-contamination.

It’s worth noting that we are constantly working to improve our processes and ensure the safety of our products for individuals with dietary restrictions. We understand the importance of providing options for those with gluten sensitivities, and we strive to meet their needs.

In addition to being gluten-free, we also offer flavored ice Dippin’ Dots for individuals who are lactose intolerant. These flavored ice options do not contain milk and provide a dairy-free alternative for those who cannot consume lactose.

While our ice cream itself is gluten-free, there is a potential risk of trace amounts of gluten in certain add-ins due to the nature of our sourcing and manufacturing processes. We encourage individuals with gluten allergies or sensitivities to review the ingredient labels and allergen information on our packaging to make informed decisions about consuming our products.
