Frequently Asked Questions

Allergens

Cheese

Tillamook Cheese does not contain any major allergens beside milk, and the cheesemaking equipment never processes any major allergens other than milk. However, please note that wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, and eggs are sometimes present at the facility level, due to ice cream production sometimes happening in a separate area of a shared building.

Ice Cream

All Tillamook Ice Cream flavors contain milk, and most contain pasteurized egg yolks as well. Some also contain other major allergens like wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. In compliance with federal law, any Tillamook product that contains major allergens like these must clearly state so in the ingredients listing on the packaging**, so please be sure to check the label! 

For all Tillamook products, there are strict GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) in place which are designed to mitigate the risk of any cross-contamination of major allergens on shared equipment. Allergen sanitation processes are evaluated on an annual basis to ensure continuing effectiveness. 

(**Some of our ice cream flavors contain fudge pieces with highly refined peanut oil in them. This kind of oil is not considered a major allergen under federal labeling requirements, so while ‘peanut oil’ is listed under the ingredients labeling on the container, peanuts are not called out under the allergens disclaimer below. If you are unsure of the safety of this kind of highly refined peanut oil for yourself or your family, we recommend checking with a doctor.)
