Ingredients and Allergens
Ingredients
Here is the list of ingredients in the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen.
Reduced Fat Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream
Ingredients: Milkfat and Nonfat Milk, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Whey, Mono- and Diglycerides, Artificial Flavor, Guar Gum, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan, and Vitamin A Palmitate.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pieces
Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Skim Milk, Milk Fat, Lactose, Lecithin, PGPR), Peanuts, Sugar, Dextrose, Salt, TBHQ, and Citric Acid.
What is PGPR?
PGPR is listed as an ingredient in the Peanut Butter Cup chocolate. Polyglycerol plyricinoleate (PGPR) is processed from glycerol and fatty acids such as castor bean or soybean oil.
The additive is generally used as an emulsifier that prevents water and fat from separating in a food product.
It’s also used during the production of chocolate products. PGPR improves the characteristics of chocolate in a way that improves how the product flows through the manufacturing process.
Allergens
This sweet treat is made with ingredients that contain milk, peanuts, and soy. It may also contain egg, treenuts, and wheat.

So much sugar! I shouldn’t be surprised. But I am. You note added sugars in many of the other products. How many added sugars in this blizzard?
Patrick,
Unfortunately DQ doesn’t provide a breakout of the added sugars vs natural sugars. But, there are data that points to total sugars being comprised of nearly all added sugars. Added sugars are about 90% of total carbs in Reese’s PB Cups. There’s only 1g fiber in a small Blizzard. Sugar and Corn Syrup are top 3 ingredients in the ice cream. So while there is natural sugar in milkfat, I would guess added sugars make up 80-90% of the total sugars.
Thanks for your comments!
