A swirl of summer for everyone - Flora Professional's dairy free, gluten free soft serve brings summer's joy to all

HACKENSACK, N.J., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Flora Professional, the food service division of Flora Food Group, has its hard launch of soft serve ready for summer.  The new, innovative, dairy free soft serve mix is available through food service distributors nationwide. The launch is Flora Professional's first-ever dairy free soft serve product in the U.S. and it is also free of the FDA top 9 food allergens.

The delicious new mix is perfect for operators that want to offer summer fun to everyone, including customers with food allergies, dietary restrictions or other specific food preferences. Flora Professional is addressing the North American market for dairy alternatives, which continues to grow.

Here's how Flora Professional soft serve is redefining the summer swirl:

• 100% dairy free and free of the FDA top 9 food allergens
• Creamy, indulgent texture
• Versatile usage for making soft serve or gelato
• Easy to use – no mixing required and compatible with most soft serve and gelato machines

The 100% plant-based mix uses a blend of lentil protein and natural coconut oil and is free of palm oils and preservatives. With a creamy vanilla taste and smooth, ice cream-like texture, the mix is compatible with all types of machines and easy to customize with your in-house flavors. 

"Flora Professional is growing our food service line with a product that is as inclusive as it is innovative," says Peter Steinkrauss, Head of North American Food Service at Flora Food Group. "A summer stop at the local ice cream shop should be for everyone. We are really proud to provide this great tasting product so managing dietary restrictions doesn't mean missing out on the fun."  Finally, a soft serve as indulgent as dairy is ready to be served.
