Toronto-based Dufflet Pastries is preparing for a gluten-free line of desserts to launch this Fall, available in Ontario and Quebec for customers with gluten-free diets to enjoy. The company previously experimented with offering gluten-free desserts and the effort was met with success. Sales for gluten-free treats at the store has doubled since last year.
“Company feedback at all three of our retail cafes and from our wholesale customers indicated that there was a growing demand for products made without gluten—not only from our consumers with celiac disease but also from those who prefer to follow a gluten-reduced diet to promote health,” company founder Dufflet Rosenberg told Canadian Grocer. The company has converted their famous recipes into gluten-free versions that are free of artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. The desserts are also certified by the Canadian Celiac Association.
The gluten-free line of desserts include cakelets, tarts, cupcakes, brownies and macaroons.
