Keep in mind that we did not verify if the waffle cones featured above were made in a facility that uses dairy to produce other products. If potential cross-contamination is a concern for you, check with the manufacturer to learn if there is the possibility of dairy inadvertently being in your waffle cones.

The label may also indicate something such as “made on equipment that also processes milk” to inform you off the possibility of cross-contamination if it exists. Always reference the product label for the most accurate ingredient, allergen, and nutrition information.
