Dufflet Pastries® Defines Delicious With Their Safe, Reliable, Gluten-Free Desserts

The Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP), in partnership with the Canadian Celiac Association, is pleased to announce that Dufflet Pastries, the ground-breaking Canadian bakery founded by Dufflet Rosenberg, has expanded their product line of gluten-free treats certified by the GFCP, and they are as scrumptious and as satisfying as any of their other desserts! Each item is hand-crafted from scratch, and never contains hydrogenated fats or oils, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. By displaying the GFCP endorsed trademark, Dufflet® provides consumers with a trusted and easily identifiable source of safe, gluten-free products. The Dufflet® gluten-free line is available in stores across Ontario and Quebec, and consists of the following tasty delights:

Cakelet® Gluten-Free Selections:

  • Carrot Cakelet®- Moist carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
  • Chocolate Cakelet®- Devil's Food chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and dark chocolate glaze.
  • Pink Velvet Cakelet®- Dufflet's cocoa and spice cake with natural pink cream cheese icing.

  • Lemon Tarts- French tart with lemon curd baked in a sweet butter crust.
  • Fudge Tarts- Dark chocolate filling in a dark chocolate crust, topped with bittersweet ganache and white chocolate shavings.

Brownie & Macaroon Gluten-Free Selections:

  • Chocolate Chunk Brownie- Chewy fudge brownie with dark chocolate chunks.
  • Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroon- Chewy, moist, and sweet coconut dipped in delicious dark chocolate.

"Eliminating gluten from your diet should not mean sacrificing flavour from sweet indulgences," says Dufflet Rosenberg. "That's why we felt compelled to develop a delicious line of dessert products, produced in a facility certified by the respected Gluten-Free Certification Program, that are completely gluten-free and will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth."

Paul Valder, President of the Allergen Control Group Inc. (ACG), the corporation that manages the Gluten-Free Certification Program, welcomes Dufflet® into the program and says that "the GFCP trademark on Dufflet's packaging indicates they have participated in a voluntary food safety certification program designed to ensure consumers they are purchasing safe, reliable gluten-free products."

The GFCP trademark is based on stringent food safety and gluten management programs and is further verified by a robust 3rd party audit process at the manufacturing facility. The GFCP is endorsed by two of North Americas' leading celiac organizations, the Canadian Celiac Association in Canada and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness in the United States. By seeing the GFCP trademark on gluten-free products consumers can shop with confidence and know the products they are purchasing meet the industry's strictest gluten-free requirements.

"The Canadian Celiac Association believes that all Canadians have the right to safe food, and have designed the Gluten-Free Certification Program to meet these special needs" states Sue Newell, Operations Manager of the Canadian Celiac Association. "The CCA advocates on behalf of approximately 2,000,000 Canadians suffering from celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, who are frustrated by the uncertainty of identifying the gluten-free products that are essential to their well-being."
