I know they used to say "dairy free", but last time I bought something there, they stopped saying it was dairy free. I talked to one of the CMs and she handed me a book with the ingredients. Apparently it's a dairy by-product, so technically there's no real dairy in it, but someone who is really lactose intolerant may want to avoid it. Even though I'm a bit lactose intolerant, I still buy a Dole Whip because they are oh-so-delicious!
