Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from Dairy Queen’s published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means Dairy Queen does not publish that value for this size. Not published for this item: added sugars.
Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, the Small size is high in saturated fat (70%), carbohydrate (28%), protein (26%) and fat (24%) and is low in dietary fiber.

Allergens
According to Dairy Queen, the Chocolate Shake contains milk and soy.
| Milk | Contains |
|---|---|
| Egg | Not listed |
| Fish | Not listed |
| Crustacean shellfish | Not listed |
| Tree nuts | Not listed |
| Peanuts | Not listed |
| Wheat | Not listed |
| Soy | Contains |
| Sesame | Not listed |
DQ says allergens are present in every location and cross-contact can easily happen, so it cannot guarantee that any item is allergen free or that the data is accurate for a prepared item; tell the restaurant about allergies before ordering and ask to see ingredient labels. Fish and shellfish are cooked in the same fryers and on the same equipment as other items such as fries. The frying oil is a vegetable blend that contains soybean oil. Gluten is in many products; for gluten-sensitive guests DQ points to its sealed, factory-made novelties (Dilly Bars, Buster Bars, Fudge Bars, Vanilla Orange Bars, Starkiss Bars), which are made without wheat, rye, oats or barley, but not to the store-made versions. Allergen data comes from ingredient and product manufacturers. Items in parentheses in DQ's table "may contain" the allergen.
