Allergens

for product-specific allergen concerns please see our flavors page where you can find full lists of ingredients, allergens present, and vegan-friendly status.

dairy and eggs -

none of our recipes or flavors contain dairy or eggs.

wheat and gluten -

none of our flavors or recipes contain wheat or gluten. our gelatos are made using gluten-free oat milk, and any inclusions with flour are made using gluten-free flours.

soy -

none of our recipes or flavors contain soy.

coconut (tree nuts) -

our coconut & pandan sorbet is made largely with coconut milk and coconut water. many (but not all) of our gelatos contain naturally refined coconut oil, and some recipes have inclusions made with coconut milk or coconut oil.

tree nuts -

our nut-based flavors (pistachio and orange almond toffee) use nut butters/pastes made with tree nuts.

peanuts -

although none of our current flavors include peanuts as an ingredient our marion blackberry hibiscus may contain trace peanut allergens as hibiscus is often intercropped with peanuts and is not typically processed in a way that removes those allergens.

sesame -

none of our recipes or flavors currently contain sesame.

sweeteners -

our gelatos and sorbets use a variety of sweeteners including organic or raw cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup, and vegan-suitable dextrose. raw honey is used in our vanilla & honey gelato (do not feed to infants under 1 year old).

preventing allergen cross contact -

Gatto Gelato currently operates out of a shared commercial kitchen that is not certified gluten-free, vegan, or allergy-safe regarding any specific allergens. we do however have food safety protocols in place to mitigate or help eliminate the risk of cross-contact, including the following:

  • Gatto Gelato is the only food manufacturer present and active in the kitchen when making our products and we only use our own equipment to prepare, produce, and package them.
  • batches are scheduled to avoid potential cross-contact and production equipment requiring manual sanitizing, such as our batch freezer, is tested following cleaning, using methods and procedures that are approved for use in food plants to verify allergen status.

those with severe allergies should know that we process and use ingredients containing coconut, tree nuts, and peanut allergens. while we take steps to minimize risk and safely handle the foods that contain potential allergens, please be advised that cross contamination may occur. if you have any questions or concerns regarding allergens please don't hesitate to contact us.
