Every major allergen, one clear grid
Each of the nine major allergens marked for Imagine Whirled Peace at Dairy Queen — Contains, May contain (cross-contact or varies), or Free. Anything we couldn't confirm defaults to "may contain," because a shared kitchen can't be ruled out without the restaurant's official menu.
- MilkContains
The vanilla soft serve base is dairy-based, containing milk and cream. This is the primary ingredient of the Blizzard treat.
- EggMay contain
Egg may be present in the chocolate cookie pieces or candy pieces used in the Blizzard. Some cookie recipes include egg as a binder. Confirm the specific ingredients with Dairy Queen.
- Wheat / GlutenContains
The chocolate cookie pieces blended into the Blizzard contain wheat flour. This is a direct source of gluten.
- SoyMay contain
Soy lecithin is commonly used in candy pieces and chocolate coatings as an emulsifier. The soft serve base itself may also contain soy lecithin. Highly refined soy is typically tolerated but those with severe soy allergy should confirm.
- PeanutFree
Peanut is not a listed ingredient in the Imagine Whirled Peace. However, cross-contact is possible if the same blending equipment is used for peanut-containing Blizzard flavors.
- Tree NutFree
Tree nuts are not a typical ingredient in this flavor. Cross-contact from shared equipment with nut-containing Blizzard flavors is possible.
- FishFree
Fish is not an ingredient in any component of this frozen dessert.
- ShellfishFree
Shellfish is not an ingredient in any component of this frozen dessert.
- SesameFree
Sesame is not a typical ingredient in the soft serve, cookie pieces, or candy pieces used in this Blizzard flavor.
“May contain” means cross-contact is possible or the answer varies by location — not that the allergen is a listed ingredient. For a severe allergy, treat “may contain” the same as “contains” until the restaurant confirms otherwise.
Small changes that remove an allergen
Simple modifications that can take an allergen off your imagine whirled peace. Always name your allergy when you order and ask staff to confirm — a modification only helps if the kitchen prepares it separately.
Order a plain vanilla soft serve cone without mix-ins
Request a fresh blender cup that has not been used for peanut or tree nut flavors
Ask if the cookie pieces can be substituted with a different mix-in that you know is safe
A modification lowers exposure but doesn't erase cross-contact from shared fryers, grills, or prep surfaces. For a severe allergy, confirm the prep with a manager before you eat.

Cross-contact & severe allergies
A “free of” mark on the grid above means the allergen isn't an ingredient — it doesn't mean the item was made in an allergen-free kitchen. Two things matter most:
Shared fryers & equipment
Blizzard treats are blended in shared mixing equipment at Dairy Queen. The same blender cup and mixing machine are used for all Blizzard flavors, including those containing peanut butter (e.g., Butterfinger, Reese's), tree nuts (e.g., Oreo Cookie Dough with almonds), and other allergens. This creates a real cross-contact risk for peanut, tree nut, and other allergens. Ask staff to use a freshly cleaned blender cup and mixing blade for your order.
If your allergy is severe
For anaphylactic allergy to milk, wheat, soy, or egg, the Imagine Whirled Peace is not a safe choice. The soft serve base is dairy-based (milk is unavoidable), and the cookie pieces contain wheat. Cross-contact from shared blending equipment adds risk for peanut and tree nut allergies. Carry your epinephrine auto-injector. If you cannot confirm safe preparation, a packaged frozen dessert from a grocery store with clear allergen labeling may be a safer alternative.
This guidance is general and can't account for how any single location prepares your food. The restaurant's staff and official allergen menu are the final word — when in doubt, ask, or choose something else.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
The Imagine Whirled Peace is a limited-time or promotional Blizzard Treat from Dairy Queen. It features vanilla soft serve blended with chocolate cookie pieces and candy pieces. The name and recipe may vary by season and location. Because it is a promotional item, its exact ingredient composition may not be as well-documented as permanent menu items. Always confirm the current ingredients with your local Dairy Queen.
Yes. The chocolate cookie pieces blended into the Blizzard contain wheat flour, making this a gluten-containing dessert. There is no gluten-free version of this specific Blizzard flavor. If you need a gluten-free option, a plain vanilla soft serve cone (without cookie pieces) may be suitable, but confirm that the soft serve itself does not contain any wheat-based stabilizers.
No. The vanilla soft serve base is made from milk and cream, making this Blizzard a direct source of dairy. There is no dairy-free soft serve alternative at Dairy Queen. This dessert is not suitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
You can ask for a vanilla soft serve without mix-ins, but that would be a different product — a plain vanilla cone or cup, not the Imagine Whirled Peace Blizzard. The cookie pieces are a defining ingredient of this specific flavor. If you order it without the mix-ins, you are essentially ordering plain soft serve, which removes the wheat and potential egg allergens but still contains milk.
Peanut and tree nut are not listed ingredients in the Imagine Whirled Peace itself. However, Dairy Queen's Blizzard flavors are blended in shared equipment, and many other Blizzard flavors contain peanut butter (Reese's, Butterfinger) or tree nuts (almond in some cookie dough flavors). This creates a cross-contact risk. If you have a peanut or tree nut allergy, ask staff to use a freshly cleaned blender cup and mixing blade.
