Gluten-Free, But Make It Canadian: Snacks & Foods Worth Crossing the Border For

Going gluten-free can change the way you shop.

Suddenly, you're reading every label. You're checking ingredients. You're discovering that some old favourites are off the table.

But here's something that doesn't have to disappear:

The fun of discovering great Canadian food.

At Canadian Food To USA, our gluten-free collection has grown well beyond a handful of specialty products. From bold Canadian potato-chip flavours and cookies to crackers, cereal, granola bars, baking mixes and pantry favourites, there are plenty of choices worth exploring.

So forget the idea that gluten-free means boring.

Let's open the Canadian snack cupboard.

Start With the Chip Bowl

If there's one area where Canada knows how to have fun, it's potato chips.

And yes, there are some seriously good options in our gluten-free collection.

Ruffles All Dressed

Few flavours are more Canadian than All Dressed.

Sweet, salty, tangy and savoury all at once, Ruffles All Dressed are exactly the kind of snack that makes people ask:

“What exactly is All Dressed?”

Our answer?

Trying them is much easier than explaining them.

Old Dutch Rip-L

Old Dutch is another name many Canadians instantly recognize.

Our gluten-free collection includes several Old Dutch Rip-L varieties, including Plain, Lightly Salted, Sour Cream & Green Onion and Creamy Dill.

Creamy Dill deserves special mention because dill-flavoured chips are another one of those flavours that Canadians seem to understand instinctively.

Put out a bowl and see how long they last.

Now We Need Something Sweet

A snack cupboard can't survive on potato chips alone.

Well, technically it probably could.

But let's add cookies.

Allergy Smart Cookies

Sometimes you don't want a “specialty” cookie.

You just want a good cookie.

Our gluten-free collection includes Allergy Smart Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip and Birthday Cake Cookies.

Three flavours.

Three very different moods.

Chocolate Chip is the classic.

Snickerdoodle is the cozy choice.

Birthday Cake is what happens when your afternoon snack decides there's something worth celebrating.

We approve.

The Canadian Coffee-Break Test

Here's a simple question:

Would you eat it with coffee?

If the answer is yes, we're interested.

Breton Gluten Free Crackers

Breton is a familiar Canadian grocery-store name, and gluten-free shoppers don't have to be left out.

Our collection includes Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb & Garlic Crackers.

They're the kind of pantry staple that works when you're building a snack plate, entertaining friends or simply looking for something crunchy between meals.

Add your favourite cheese or dip and suddenly you've created a respectable afternoon snack.

Or dinner.

Again, we don't judge.

Yes, There Can Still Be Cake

This might be our favourite section.

Because dietary restrictions shouldn't automatically mean:

No cake for you.

Our gluten-free collection includes President's Choice Golden Cake Mix, Yellow Loaf Cake Mix and Chocolate Cake Mix.

That's where things get interesting.

You can keep it simple.

Or you can turn one into a full Canadian dessert experiment.

Chocolate cake with maple-inspired toppings?

Now we're talking.

The Road-Trip Bag

Every good road trip requires snacks.

This is not negotiable.

Riceworks Rice Snacks

Riceworks give you another crunchy option when you're looking for something different from traditional potato chips.

Our collection includes flavours such as Sea Salt, Salsa Fresca and Sweet Chili.

Throw a bag in the car, add something sweet and you've officially met the Canadian road-trip snack requirement.

The Emergency Desk Drawer

Everyone needs one.

You know the drawer.

The one you open around 3:17 p.m. when lunch feels like it happened yesterday and dinner is still somehow hours away.

That's where Healthy Crunch Granola Bars come in.

With varieties such as Berry, Chocolate Banana and Double Chocolate, they're easy additions to a gluten-free snack stash.

Double Chocolate at 3:17 p.m.?

We support that decision.

Don't Forget Breakfast

Canadian food nostalgia doesn't begin at lunch.

Breakfast deserves some attention too.

One option in our gluten-free collection is Chex Gluten Free Honey Nut Cereal.

It's useful for breakfast, but cereal has never respected traditional meal times.

Morning?

Absolutely.

Late-night snack?

Also absolutely.

Eating it directly from the box while standing in the kitchen?

That's between you and the cereal.

Gluten-Free Doesn't Have to Feel Like a Separate Grocery Store

This is really the point.

Shopping gluten-free can sometimes feel like you're being directed toward a tiny corner of the grocery store while everyone else gets the fun aisles.

We don't think it has to feel that way.

You can still have:

The chip bowl.

The cookie break.

The road-trip snacks.

The cereal cupboard.

The cake.

Especially the cake.

A Note About Gluten-Free Shopping

Product recipes, ingredients and manufacturing practices can change.

If you have celiac disease, a food allergy or another medical reason for avoiding gluten, always review the current product packaging, ingredient list and manufacturer information before consuming a product.

Our online collection can help you discover options, but the current package should always be your final reference.
