“We didn’t make any changes to the recipes—they’re the same scoops of wonderful that they’ve always been,” said Jody Eley, Ben & Jerry’s Innovation Manager. “These flavors have always been gluten-free, but now we have the resources to do the rigorous testing required for certification.”

Even more gluten-free flavors will be available next year, exclusively in Scoop Shops. They will be certified gluten-free as manufactured. That means they were gluten-free when they left the factory. Due to the risk of cross-contamination they cannot be certified gluten-free once in Shops, but our scoopers are happy to open a fresh tub for interested fans. The Scoop Shop gluten-free flavors include:

• Butter Pecan
• Chocolate
• Chocolate Peanut Buttery Swirl
• Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz!
• Mint Chocolate Chunk
• Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (made with gluten-free oatmeal cookies)
• Strawberry
• Lemonade Stand Sorbet
• Non-Dairy Cold Brew
• Berry Berry Extraordinary Sorbet

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley that is not easily digestible by some people. Adverse effects can range from a gluten sensitivity to celiac disease.

“We’re glad we can now offer some flavor joy to even more people, including those who have to be very careful with their diet,” said Eley. “This certification can give them a little peace of mind.”

Gluten-free flavors will be appearing on shelves during the next few months in supermarkets and participating Scoop Shops nationwide. Find a store near you at Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Locator.
