Let’s find out if the original Popsicles products are free from wheat/gluten ingredients.

Are Popsicles Gluten Free?

Not Confirmed

 

This is Popsicle’s official response to the question: Are Popsicle® products gluten free? At this time, all Popsicle® products are not considered to be gluten-free Popsicles, but we’re working hard on the process to earn this certification. In the meantime, we recommend always checking the nutrition facts, ingredient list, and any “may contain” statements on our boxes before consuming.’

However; just because the products are not certified, does not mean they include wheat/gluten. Many of their products do not list this allergen on their SmartLabel ingredients or allergens page. Here is more of what Popsicle had to say in regards to allergens: ‘It is the Popsicle® brand’s policy that when any of the eight most common allergens (milk, eggs, fish, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, soybeans and crustaceans) occur in any of our products they will be listed inside the ingredient statement in plain language. We do not use the terms “natural” or “artificial flavorings” to hide the existence of any allergens. We do not have dedicated production lines in our manufacturing facilities for products containing allergens. We have special handling procedures for all allergenic ingredients used in our manufacturing facilities.’

Therefore we’ve listed all the products that are free from wheat/gluten below. And we’ve also made a separate list to show you all the products that showed wheat as an allergen. To help you when getting Popsicle products.
