Nutrition Facts and Allergy Information for Treats

Return to main Nutrition Page

Nutrition and allergy information is current as of January 2020.

DQ^® treats start with high-quality ingredients and end with a smile.

Since 1940, our fans have come to expect the best from their neighborhood Dairy Queen^® Store. It’s still that way today from our classic treats to the new favorites you've yet to discover.

Signature Soft Serve:

Simply creamy, wholesome, and delicious. More than 75 years after the first “cone with the curl on top” made its debut at Sherb Noble’s ice cream shop, DQ^® soft serve remains the same treat you remember from your childhood. Our high standard is to serve it at 18 degrees for the perfect flavor and texture. You can taste the difference in every cone, Blizzard^® Treat, shake and sundae. What else would you expect from the people who invented America’s favorite soft serve?

Premium Fruit Smoothies:

Orange Julius^® Premium Fruit Smoothies are the perfect on-the-go snack. Made with real fruit and low-fat yogurt they’re substantial enough to tide you over between meals.

Statement Concerning Suggested Daily Caloric Intake:

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat to 20 grams and sodium to 2,300 mg for a typical adult eating 2,000 daily. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice, but calorie needs vary.

Important Statement:

Nutrition information is based on analysis by R-TECH and Commercial Testing Laboratory, Inc., and representative values from manufacturers, Genesis R&D^® SQL and the USDA. Allergen information is provided by the ingredient or product manufacturer. The information in this assumes compliance by locations with ingredient requirements and standardized preparation procedures. Seasonal and manufacturer variations may also affect information.

This brochure is for permanent menu items in DQ^® approved system food restaurants (DQ Grill & Chill^® or Brazier^® locations). It does not apply to: (1) test items; (2) non-system food locations that sell food products not approved by DQ (you can identify approved system food locations by the DQ Grill & Chill, Brazier, or Limited Brazier signs or by asking the restaurant operator); (3) food restaurants in Texas, which have their own authorized food system and nutrition information; (4) soft-serve products in some New Jersey stores that use a soft-serve differing significantly in nutritional content from the standard DQ soft-serve, including increased butterfat content; (5) some location-specific menu items.

If you have questions about a menu item, please contact the store operator or manager.

Allergen Statement:

DQ locations contain allergens that may come into contact with your food. Since allergens are present in every DQ location and cross-contact can easily occur, we cannot guarantee any item to be allergen free or the accuracy of the data as it relates to prepared menu items at a location. We suggest you inform the restaurant of any allergies prior to ordering and ask to see the ingredient listing on the packaging for the product you would like to purchase.

Fish/Shellfish: DQ locations use the same equipment (including fryers) to prepare fish/shellfish as is used for non-fish/shellfish items like French Fries. While the frying process typically denatures the allergenic protein, it is possible for the fish/shellfish allergenic protein to remain in the frying oil or on equipment surfaces and contact other DQ products.

Soybean Oil: Our frying oil is a vegetable oil blend with soybean oil. While soybean oil is not recognized as an allergen, consult your doctor as to whether you should avoid soybean oil.

Gluten Sensitive: 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.

For more detailed information on food ingredients, we suggest you visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition website at www.cfsan.fda.gov. For more detailed information about food allergies, we suggest you visit the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network website at www.foodallergy.org.

* Locally sourced ingredients are used in this menu item. Please verify allergens at your local restaurant.
