Our U.S. retail grocery, club, and convenience store products are OU-D kosher, certified by the Kashrut division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. Products at our Häagen-Dazs® Shops and restaurants are not necessarily certified kosher because of the utensils and other ingredients used to serve frozen desserts or drinks.

Eggs and milk are animal-derived, but as two of the eight major allergens, they are always disclosed in the ingredient statement. There may be eggs in some inclusions such as cookie dough, and eggs are sometimes used as a stabilizing ingredient. Aside from the gelatin in the marshmallows and marshmallow variegates, we have no other ingredients that are animal-derived.

In keeping with our philosophy of using only the purest ingredients, we use only eggs to stabilize Häagen-Dazs®. All our eggs are completely pasteurized.

Several Häagen-Dazs ice cream products contain alcohol, including our Spirits collection. The alcohol is used as an agent to carry flavor in our super-premium ice cream. Each product contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product.

Häagen-Dazs® products are best stored at home, unopened, at 0 degrees F (-18 degrees C). For extended storage up to the "best before" date, we recommend -10 degrees F (-23.3 degrees C) or colder, when possible.

When kept at the recommended storage temperature, Häagen-Dazs® products are excellent through the "best before" date found on the package. A "best before" date is found on the bottom of each carton and end flap of the bar packaging.

To deliver the best flavor and texture, allow your Häagen-Dazs® products to soften at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the actual room temperature and the temperature of your freezer.

No. Because we make Häagen-Dazs® products in the most natural way possible, Häagen-Dazs® products should not be refrozen if thawed. Thawing and refreezing can create large ice crystals and cause undesirable grainy/gritty textures or diminished quality.

Häagen-Dazs containers are not recyclable at this time, but it is the ambition of our parent company, Nestle, to make 100% of our packaging recyclable or re-usable by 2025. We plan to do this through eliminating non-recyclable plastics, encouraging use of plastics that allow for better recycling rates, and working to eliminate or change complicated combinations of packaging materials such as paper/plastics and laminates.
