Is Hometown Creamery ice cream gluten free?
Most of it is. The exceptions are the flavours with cookie or cake pieces in them. Tubs in the shop carry clear labels for common allergens, and staff will check if you ask.
How does Hometown Creamery handle a severe allergy?
Staff use a new scoop from a fresh tub so there is no risk of cross-contamination, on top of labelling allergenic ingredients. Tell the person serving you before you order.
