*The base ice cream at Dairy Queen IS gluten-free. However, most Dairy Queen products are not gluten-free, such as the cones, toppings and treats. Dairy Queen have compiled a list of all items which do not contain sources of gluten ingredients: wheat, rye, oats, or barley.

You can find details here, on their allergen & nutrition page.

On the Dairy Queen website it states:

Gluten is in many DQ products and cross-contact may easily occur during product preparation. For those with gluten sensitivity, we recommend trying one of our manufactured novelties: Dilly Bars, Buster Bar Treats, Fudge Bars, Vanilla Orange Bars, or Starkiss® Bars, which can be found in clear, sealed plastic wrappers. These products are made without wheat, rye, oats, or barley in a facility that has limited cross contact risk. This does not include Dilly Bars or Buster Bar Treats in paper bags, which are made on the store premises and are subject to potential cross contact.
