Celiac.com 02/13/2019 - We see a lot of questions about the gluten-free status of certain foods, candies, or snacks. One of the most common questions we see is: Is Kraft Cool Whip gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
The good news for Cool Whip fans is that, currently, Kraft Cool Whip products are gluten-free, including the flavored "Season's Delight" varieties. As such, Cool Whip is regarded as safe for people with celiac disease.
Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
Kraft marks all sources of gluten clearly in its ingredient listings, several of which are given below, and no Cool Whip products contain any reported sources of gluten. Cool Whip is not dairy-free. The website states that “Cool Whip is not milk-free or dairy-free. All forms/flavors of COOL WHIP…contain sodium caseinate, a natural protein of milk, and therefore should not be consumed by those with dairy allergies.”
For those looking for a version that is both gluten- and dairy-free, consider CocoWhip, a certified gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and kosher whipped topping made with organic ingredients.
