Is sorbet gluten-free? Usually, the cone and the scoop are the risk

Usually yes. Sorbet is fruit, sugar and water, frozen. Glucose syrup, if used, is gluten-free too.

What to check

• Mix-ins: biscuit, cookie or cake pieces usually contain wheat.
• The scoop: in a gelateria the same scoop may go through flavours with biscuit pieces. Ask for a clean scoop from a fresh tub.
• The cone: most cones are wheat. Ask for a cup, or a cone labelled gluten-free.
