Important statement

The nutritional information in this table is derived from analyses conducted by R-TECH and Commercial Testing Laboratory Inc., along with representative values provided by the manufacturers, Genesis R&D® SQL, and Health Canada.

This brochure assumes that restaurants adhere to standard ingredient specifications and preparation methods. However, seasonal variations or differences between manufacturers may influence the nutritional values provided.

Allergen Statement

Allergens are present in DQ® MD and Orange Julius® MD restaurants and may come into contact with your food. Due to the presence of allergens throughout the restaurants and the potential for cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any item is completely allergen-free or confirm the accuracy of allergen information for dishes prepared on-site. For your safety, we recommend informing the restaurant staff of any allergies before placing an order and reviewing the ingredient list provided on the product packaging.

Many DQ® MD products contain gluten, and cross-contamination can easily occur during food preparation.
