Now In The Ice Cream Aisle*, Dole Whip® Retail Offerings Bring Consumers A Uniquely Fruit-powered Frozen Treat In Three Bold Flavors

New Flavor Tropical Guava Passion Hits Freezer Aisles at Select Retailers Nationwide

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Dole Packaged Foods, LLC – a world leader in fruit innovation - announces a major expansion of its fast-growing Dole Whip® retail offerings, introducing new formats and a new tropical flavor that bring the iconic treat's smooth, creamy texture and real fruit goodness to more moments and more homes than ever before.

New Dole Whip® retail offerings have quickly become a fan favorite for its unique, uplifting feel, and indulgent creaminess—all without dairy or high fructose corn syrup. Now, the brand is building on that momentum with expanded retail offerings designed to meet consumers whenever and wherever they crave a little moment of sunshine.

Consumers can now enjoy Dole Whip in three tropical flavors made with real fruit:

"Dole Whip is everything today's consumers are searching for but couldn't find in the aisle," said Mike Secor, VP of Marketing for Dole Packaged Foods US. "It's a moment of sunshine—smooth, creamy, vibrant, made with real fruit**, and unlike anything else on the market. That's why this isn't just a new product launch. It's a category disruption."

With its real fruit foundation, and creamy texture, the Dole Whip® retail lineup isn't ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, or gelato—it's something entirely new. Bringing fruit-powered flavor to the frozen aisle in the way only Dole can, the new retail dessert has no high fructose corn syrup and is dairy-free^. This launch marks Dole's bold step into creating and owning a new frozen dessert category anchored in fruit-first indulgence.

Enjoy a creamy flavor escape straight from your freezer, anytime. Dole Whip® is now available at select retailers nationwide including Albertson's, Harris Teeter, Publix, Ralph's, Stop & Shop, Hannaford, Target, and more retailers with a limited time, seasonal return to Costco this spring.
