Thanks for your comment, and your point is a good one - that statement of mine about ice cream in the above post was definitely too broad. I also didn't know there was gluten-free certification, so I thank you for bringing that to my attention. When we say an ice cream of ours is gluten-free, we have checked every single ingredient going into it, including chocolate, nuts, etc. - though we haven't checked for certification. As you say, there is a chance of cross-contamination, so anyone with that level of gluten intolerance should definitely ask! Hi there, Una!

Ice-cream could be composed of products that SHOULD be gluten free but may not be due to the factories in which they were processed. Unless you have ensured that all your ingredients, such as nuts, choc, etc, are gluten free you cannot claim the ice-cream itself is gluten free. The absence of obviously gluten-containing items such as cookies does not in fact mean that the ice-cream is gluten free. Also there may be risk of cross contamination during the manufacturing if the two ice-creams made with cookies are manufactured near the other ice-creams. Are all the ingredients in your ice-creams certified gluten free? Coeliacs have to be really careful about what they eat in case of gluten contamination.

Have a look at the Toffuti range. http://www.tofutti.com/ Their packaging into Europe is much better than on that site and their icecream is lovely.

First off – deadly blog :-)

Icecream for lactose intolerance. Have a look at the Toffuti range. http://www.tofutti.com/

Their packaging into Europe is much better than on that site and their icecream is lovely. I am vegan and always on the lookout for “creamy” icecream. This is the closest I have tasted.
