Tim Hortons has always been a no-go for Celiacs. Their allergen guide states, “If you have a food allergy, we recommend that you refrain from eating our products.” Ouch!

However, all that has changed with a new, Canadian Celiac Association-certified gluten-free coconut macaroon! You can see it on this page. I called their customer service line to double-check, and they confirmed that the macaroons are produced and packaged in a completely gluten-free facility to prevent cross-contamination. This is an incredible turnaround that we never expected to see. I’m hoping that if this trial run is successful, they’ll add more products to the gluten-free line, just like Dunkin Donuts has done in the United States.

We’re going to track some of these macaroons down today, and we’ll let you know once we have taste tested!
