Gluten Free in Las Palmas: smöoy

Date
Jan, 14, 2019

Craving for some healthy sweets? How about some gluten free frozen yogurt? At smöoy you can choose between a variety of toppings, but be careful as they are not all gluten free.

Details of Establishment:

Name: smöoy
Type
:  Frozen Yogurt Shop
LocationCalle Sagasta, 75, 35008 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Tips: To check the allergens of the toppings and yogurts, ask for the allergen overview.

Gluten free or not gluten free observations:

Item(s) ordered: Frozen yoghurt with caramel and mango
GF observation: There is a gluten free symbol inside and outside the shop as the yoghurt itself is gluten free. For the toppings there is an allergen chart that informs of what is gluten free that the staff has a copy of. They also bring your frozen yoghurt to the back to add your toppings there. I am not sure if this is to avoid cross contamination.

Celiac safety: This is not a fully gluten free establishment, so cross contamination could be a risk. Each topping has its own spoon, but you should still inspect that there are no gluten toppings that may have fallen into the gluten free ones.

Overall comment: A healthy (at least compared to regular ice cream) option on a warm day. The frozen yogurt itself is gluten free. Make sure to check which toppings are gluten free as well. 

Disclaimer: The above is based on the personal experience and opinion of a Celiac traveler. For eating places, you should still inquire about the gluten free options and ingredients as recipes, kitchen routines, staff and management may have changed. Only places marked “100% Celiac safe” are confirmed free from cross contamination. This post is not sponsored.
