A dessert allergen guide helps you pick sundaes that are safe and tasty, so everyone can enjoy dessert with confidence. At Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream in Bluffdale, Utah, we use a clear allergen guide and staff training to help families, birthday hosts and event planners build sundaes that match dietary needs without losing flavor.
How our dessert allergen guide helps you choose a sundae
We built our guide to be practical. It lists which menu items contain common allergens, suggests safe ingredient swaps and flags high cross contact risks. That means you can compare options quickly, decide what to avoid and still pick something indulgent from our Ice Cream Flavors guide.
Using the guide in person, at pickup or when planning an event reduces guessing and makes ordering less stressful for people with allergies or sensitivities.
Common allergens to watch for in sundaes
We call out the ingredients that most often cause reactions so you can choose knowingly.
- Dairy, including milk, cream and custard bases
- Tree nuts and peanuts, in mix ins and crunchy toppings
- Eggs, often in cookie dough, cake pieces and some sauces
- Soy, in chocolate, some ice cream bases and certain coatings
- Wheat and gluten, in cones, cookie crumble and cake add ins
- Sesame, present in some toppings and specialty ingredients
What cross contact means and why it matters
Cross contact happens when an allergen touches a food that did not originally contain it. In a busy shop, the same scoops, spatulas or topping stations can move trace proteins between items. We explain those risks on our guide so you can judge whether a menu choice is right for your party or event.
Watch out: Even small traces from shared utensils or topping bins can trigger reactions. If someone in your group has a severe allergy, ask our team which items are prepared separately and which have higher cross contact risk.
How to build a safer sundae with our guide
- Pick a base. Choose from our standard scoops or inquire about lower risk bases listed in the guide.
- Choose mix ins carefully. Look for mix ins the guide marks as nut free or made in a dedicated line.
- Pick toppings. Some toppings are pre portioned and lower risk; others are scooped from shared bins and carry higher cross contact potential.
- Confirm with staff. Tell the server about specific allergies and the guide item you selected so they can follow our handling notes.
Ordering checklist
- Tell us about any known allergies before we prepare the sundae.
- Ask which items are prepared in dedicated equipment or lines.
- Choose pre packaged or single use toppings when possible.
- Consider alternatives from our dairy free and cake pages if dairy or eggs are a concern.
How we handle allergens at Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream
We train our costumed team to follow handling notes from the guide and to write clear instructions on order tickets. For parties and cakes, we flag allergen needs during pickup and event prep so the person picking up knows what to expect.
We serve customers from Bluffdale and nearby communities including Draper, Sandy, Riverton, South Jordan, Herriman, Lehi and Salt Lake City, so our team frequently supports family gatherings, school groups and birthday parties where allergen information matters.
Pro tip: If you are planning a birthday or group order, include allergen information when you place the order so we can prepare notes and suggest safer menu combinations in advance.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer dairy free or lactose free sundae options?
We list dairy free options and substitutes in our guide and on the dairy free topic page. Tell our team about dietary needs so we can point you to the best choices for your order.
Can you make a sundae with no cross contact risk?
We reduce cross contact by using handling notes and staff training, but shared equipment and open topping stations create some risk. For severe allergies, ask which items are prepared on dedicated equipment and consider pre packaged toppings or an alternative dessert.
How should I note allergies for a party or cake pickup?
Include allergy details when you place the order and remind the team at pickup. For cakes and large orders we flag notes so the person handling the pickup knows what to avoid.
Which allergens are most common in sundaes?
Dairy, nuts, eggs, soy, wheat or gluten and sesame are the main allergens to watch for in sundaes. Our guide identifies which menu items contain these ingredients.
