Food Allergy Safety Measures:
In Canada, the vanilla ice
cream base is produced in a facility which also processes hazelnut liqueur.
However, most products are hand-finished in individual stores, in which
peanuts and other nut-containing ingredients (used in products such as
Blizzards) are prevalent. Dairy Queen Canadian Operations strongly advises
that individuals with nut allergies inform store owners of this if they
choose to order products from the store (some stores have signs posted
to this effect). Some store owners (particularly in Western Canada) appear
to be very aware of cross-contamination prevention measures which can be
taken for serving nut-allergic individuals, but this should be discussed
with the store manager and the risk assessed by the consumer.
In the USA, Dairy Queen ice cream and other base products are made by over 60 different subcontracted companies. Dairy Queen USA cannot guarantee that their products are nut-free. As in Canada, nut-allergic consumers who choose to eat in a Dairy Queen store are asked to inform the store manager prior to ordering. Dairy Queen cannot guarantee that products ordered in-store will be safe from an allergy perspective.
