Is whipped cream gluten-free? Usually, check toppings and what it’s on

Usually yes. Whipped cream is cream whipped with a little sugar, sometimes vanilla. None of that contains gluten.

What to check

• Aerosol cream and “whipped toppings” add stabilisers and flavourings. Most contain no gluten, but read the label.
• Toppings sprinkled over it, like biscuit crumbs, cookie pieces or granola, often contain wheat.
• What’s underneath: waffles, cakes and scones are wheat unless made gluten-free.
