Let’s touch on a few points before we list the ice cream brands without eggs.
Firstly, it’s important to read the ingredients on the label regardless of what you read here. We say this because ingredients can change at any time and the product packaging will reflect the most accurate ingredient information.
Secondly, let’s talk about some generalities about eggs in ice cream before we get into specific brands. In general, you should be cautious about the following types of ice cream if you wish to avoid eggs:
- French Vanilla – A common component of French vanilla ice cream is egg yolks. Skip this variety of vanilla ice cream unless you can confirm it is egg-free.
- Homemade Vanilla – It varies by brand but there are certainly homemade vanilla ice cream products made with eggs.
- Brownie Ice Cream – Eggs are typically a component of brownies. During our research we found several ice cream products with brownies that had eggs in them.
- Custard Ice Cream – Custard is made with egg yolk. Any ice cream labeled with the word “custard” should signal that it likely contains eggs.
- Cake/Pie Ice Cream – Several ice creams with cake or pie ingredients have eggs in them.
- Cookie Ice Cream – Eggs are an ingredient commonly used to make cookies. Naturally, some ice cream products that contain cookies will also have eggs.
- Snickers Ice Cream – Snickers have eggs in them as a component of the center nougat. Any ice cream with Original Snickers will have eggs.
- Premium Ice Cream – Premium ice cream has superior ingredients with eggs commonly being one of those ingredients.
The above list of red flags is not exhaustive but it should give you an idea of what to look out for when it comes to eggs in ice cream.

Reviewing Product Labels
You can always verify if an ice cream product has eggs by reviewing its ingredients printed on the label. The example below for Kroger Rocky Road shows no eggs in its list of ingredients.
In addition to the ingredients, eggs will be listed in the allergen section on the label if a product contains them. In the case of the ice cream featured below, it contains milk and almonds as allergens but no eggs.
Furthermore, you may wish to contact the manufacturer if cross-contamination is a concern for you where there is a potential for trace amounts of eggs to be in the ice cream from shared equipment or other means.
Overall, you can pick up any ice cream product in just about any U.S. grocery store and determine if it directly contains eggs within seconds. Contact the manufacturer when in doubt about any ingredient that concerns you.
