These include:

2. Eggs
3. Fish
4. Peanuts
5. Sesame
6. Shellfish
7. Soy
8. Tree nuts
9. Wheat

Whilst we understand the difficulties of having food allergies and food sensitivities, there is some good news!  Frozen Sunshine iceblocks have ⛔
✅ No cows milk
✅ No egg
✅ No wheat
✅ No nuts
✅ No sesame
✅ No fish 😆

Thats 8 out of 9 foods that cause the majority of reactions. ❤️ 

May contain soy. The chocolate we use in our Chocolate and Cookie Crumble iceblocks is top quality Belgian chocolate containing 70% cocoa solids. It is dairy and nut free but it does contain the emulsifier "Soya Lecithin". Although we have separate equipment for preparing the mixes containing chocolate and take care when cleaning down the moulds, there is a chance that traces of the allergen may remain. As a result all other flavours are labelled "May contain soybeans" because we use the same moulds for all iceblocks in our range. Be sure to visit our flavours page for the full list of ingredients

Half a million Aussies have a diagnosed food allergy? That's alot!

We’ve all been guilty of a self-diagnosis on the Internet. But if you suspect you have a food allergy, it’s important to consult your general practitioner (GP).

We love your messages and handcrafting iceblocks you can enjoy so keep your stories coming we'd love to hear from you.
