New Finds at Costco!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in Products on September 23, 2014
We visited Costco Bayers Lake for a change this weekend and picked up a couple of great certified gluten-free finds that we wanted to share with you.
The first item was a two-pack of Essential Baking Company gluten-free bread. We paid $8.99 for two loaves of their Super Seeded Multi-Grain bread. The best part is that each loaf is in its own vacuum-sealed bag, and they don’t have to be frozen (or even refrigerated) until opened, or January 2015!
Taste Testing Bread by Rudi’s!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in General Information on July 16, 2014
In May, I picked up some Rudi’s tortilla wraps from Jane’s Gluten Free. They were delicious, so I was excited to see their bread in Sobeys grocery stores a few weeks ago. (Jane’s also carries the bread, but due to travel restrictions, I hadn’t picked it up on our last trip.) I tried a loaf of Rudi’s original bread; multigrain and cinnamon raisin flavours were also available.
At $5.99 a loaf, it seems comparable to other gluten-free breads, including my current favourite (Udi’s white bread). However, there is a real difference in size: Udi’s loaves are 340 grams, while Rudi’s are 510 grams. That means that the slices of Rudi’s bread are much bigger. Below, you can see Udi’s on the right and Rudi’s on the left:
Sobeys’ Compliments Brand Launches Gluten-Free Line!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in News, Products on January 22, 2014
Updated with more products!
Last year, Loblaws’ President’s Choice brand launched a gluten-free baked goods line. Since then, they’ve expanded into baking mixes, pastas, and crackers. The other day, we were picking up some Udi’s bread at our local Sobeys, and we noticed that there is now a Compliments line of gluten-free baked goods, rolls, and breads!
The product list includes:
Gluten Zero Bread Hits the Shelves
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in News, Products on October 22, 2013
Several weeks ago, a friend and blog reader told us that they found gluten-free Dempster’s bread (called Gluten Zero) in the bakery section of their local Sobeys! Last week, we found some in the Downsview Mall Sobeys, so we picked up a loaf of white bread to try. (It also comes in multigrain.) At $5.99, the price is comparable to brands like Udi’s and Glutino, although the loaf is slightly smaller. (We did get a coupon that brought the price down to $4.99). One of the nice things about this bread is that it is not supposed to be frozen by the retailer: it’s baked and delivered fresh within a few days.
Here’s what the bag looks like:

Getting Started Gluten-Free
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in General Information, Links, Recipes on July 17, 2011
Perhaps you’ve been told by your doctor that you have Celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity or allergy. Or, perhaps you’ve made the decision on your own for another reason – you suspect you have Celiacs but it can’t be proven, or you have heard of the health benefits. The question is: when you decide to go gluten-free, where do you start?
Quality Bakery is Closed!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in General Information on May 17, 2011
I stopped by Quality Bakery today to get some gluten-free bread and they were clearing out the shop. They said that they are closing! I am so sad for the family – they have run that business forever. I am not sure what happened, but will keep you posted… and if you hear anything please […]
