Food Allergy-Friendly Ice Cream Shops By State

Finding a food allergy-friendly ice cream shop is truly sweet — and having a list of one in every state is the cherry on top. In order to make our list of the top food allergy-friendly shops, each one had to be knowledgeable about their ingredients, offer allergen-free options, and take steps to reduce the risk of cross-contact by using sanitized scoopers and scooping from a fresh bin.

Because we know how hard it is to find allergy-friendly ice cream shops (even in our own backyards) — you can now save this list for easy access by downloading the Spokin app.

More sweet news: A La Mode is offering a 10% discount on all online purchases for anyone who downloads the free Spokin app. Offer is valid from 6/14/17 through 6/20/17.
