Is It Halal?
The answer is Almost No. Toaster Strudel contains Mono and Diglycerides, which are sourced from animal sources. But the brand needs to answer from which animal is sourced from.
The brand answers the other questions except for this one, which means they hide the source. Therefore, all brands mention that it is derived from beef or other sources, but Pillsbury doesn’t.
So we can conclude that it is Almost derived from Pigs. Indeed, unsuitable for Muslims.
Is It Gluten Free?
Unfortunately, it is made using a gluten-containing ingredient, “Enriched Flour And/or Barley,” which FDA lists among the most allergic ingredient to those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Therefore, Toaster Strudels is not certified gluten-free by the brand owner.

No, Toaster Strudels are not vegetarian. They contain a meat by-product, Mono and Diglycerides. So they are suitable for vegetarians.
Is It Dairy Free?
No, Toaster Strudel is Dairy. It is made based on Milk And/Or Its derivatives, a dairy product. This makes them unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance or Milk sensitivity.
