What does it mean for a product to be gluten-free?
The January 23, 2007 edition of the Federal Register contained a notice of proposed rule making to define the use of the term "gluten-free"
for voluntary use for food labeling, to mean that the food does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is any species of the grains
wheat, rye, barley or a crossbred hybrid of these grains, an ingredient derived from them and that has not been processed to remove the gluten,
or that has been processed to remove the gluten but more than 20 ppm remains. In addition, a food made from oats that bears a gluten-free claim
in its labeling would be deemed misbranded if the claim suggests that all such foods are gluten-free or if 20 ppm or more of gluten is present in the food.
What Blue Bunny products are gluten-free?
Obvious gluten-containing ingredients in Blue Bunny® products include items with cones, wafers, cookies, brownies, cookie dough, bisque and pretzels.
For the safety of our customers, if any ingredient such as a flavoring, stabilizer, emulsifier, color or coating contains gluten, it will be named
in the ingredient statement. In general, Blue Bunny products are gluten-free unless they contain obvious gluten-containing ingredients or gluten
content is otherwise noted in a product's ingredient statement.
What steps are taken to address allergens?
Blue Bunny is keenly aware of the effects of allergenic substances and therefore strives to ensure that products are properly manufactured
and labeled to protect the consumer. In addition to closely adhering to specific formulas for each item, we have programs in place to help prevent cross contact.
The Quality Assurance Department reviews weekly production orders to ensure non-allergen products are manufactured first. When bulk flavors are produced, flavors
are arranged in an order that prevents one flavor from being contaminated by the preceding flavor. If the possibility exists, an equipment washout is performed.
In the rare instance where a flavor change is made on a novelty run during a shift, the same procedure is followed. Ordinarily, the same product is run on a novelty
line for an entire shift; the machine is then dismantled, scrubbed and sanitized before the next shift. All Wells’ manufacturing facilities are Safe Quality Foods (SQF) certified.
What is the feature flavor program and when are the flavors released?
Blue Bunny Premium Critic's Choice and Limited Edition flavors are made in
limited quantities and debut periodically throughout the year wherever Blue
Bunny ice cream is sold.
Where can I find Blue Bunny ice cream and novelties?
You can find Blue Bunny products in supermarkets, food service establishments
(restaurants, educational institutions, hospitals, etc.), convenience stores,
vending outlets (neighborhood Ice cream trucks and events) and military
commissaries. People are often surprised to find out that Wells products are
not only found in the United States, but in markets all around the world.
What types of products do you offer?
The Blue Bunny label carries a variety of products in the frozen
dairy line, including ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and novelties.
In which countries are Blue Bunny products sold?
Besides the United States, Blue Bunny products are sold throughout the world,
including Latin America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim.
