Tim Hortons Allergens in Canada: The Full Chart From the Official Guide

If you live with a food allergy, a Tim Hortons run starts with one question: what is safe for me to order? This page answers it with the chain’s own numbers. Every mark in the checker below comes from the Tim Hortons Allergen Guide, Canadian Edition, July 2026, read row by row for all 225 items in the guide. Nothing here is copied from another website, and nothing is guessed. Prices and calories live on their own pages; this page is only about Tim Hortons Allergens .

We checked this page against the July 2026 guide on October 28, 2026. Tim Hortons can change a recipe at any time, so treat this chart as a strong starting point and confirm at the counter when it matters.

Allergy safety and cross-contact

Read this part first. The official guide is plain about how a Tim Hortons kitchen works: normal operations involve shared equipment, including the oven, the beverage machines, the toaster and the panini press, plus shared cooking and preparation areas and shared utensils. Food can come in contact with other food, including other allergens, while it is made.

That means a clean row in this chart is not a promise. Cross-contact can happen with any item, and Tim Hortons does not guarantee that it will not. If your allergy is severe, say so before you order, every time. Staff can check the current guide in store and warn you if an item is risky that day.

Contains and may contain: how to read the chart

The guide marks each item in one of two ways.

Contains means the allergen is part of the item’s standard recipe. It is in the food on purpose, as an ingredient.

May contain means the allergen is not a direct ingredient, but the item is produced in a facility or on equipment where that allergen is present. Tim Hortons explains it the same way in its Help Centre: the allergen is not in the recipe, but it is in the building.

Most doctors tell allergy patients to treat may contain the same as contains. The checker below follows that advice: tick an allergen in the Exclude allergens box and every item that contains it or may contain it disappears from the list.

Allergen checker

Type an item name in the search box, or tick the allergens you need to avoid. The count at the top shows how many items are still on the list. Tick Milk, for example, and the list drops from 225 items to the 32 items with no milk mark at all. If you want the calorie side of the same items, the same official guide data powers our nutrition facts table and the meal builder.

The ten allergens, item by item

The guide tracks ten allergens. Here is what the July 2026 marks say about each one, with the real counts from the chart.

Wheat & Gluten

Wheat and gluten sit in 142 of the 225 items, and 16 more carry a may contain mark. All 36 donuts contain it. So do all 15 Timbits and all 26 breakfast sandwiches and wraps. The surprise entries are drinks: the Original Iced Capp and the iced lattes carry a wheat and gluten may contain mark. There is no gluten-free donut, bagel or breakfast sandwich in the guide.

Milk

Milk is the most common allergen on the menu: 183 items contain it and 10 more may contain it. Lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, the Iced Capp line, cheese melts, creamy soups and most of the bakery case are on the list. A Regular Coffee and a Double Double contain milk too, because cream is part of the standard recipe. The plain black coffees (Original Blend, Dark Roast and Decaf) and the bagged and steeped teas carry no marks at all.

Egg

Egg is in 111 items, with 38 more marked may contain. Breakfast sandwiches and wraps, muffins and the Omelette Bites all contain egg. Many donuts and cookies sit one step back with an egg may contain mark, including the Apple Fritter and the Boston Cream. If egg is your allergen, the bakery case needs care even when a donut is not filled.

Soy

Soy shows up in 103 items, and 50 more may contain it. The French Vanilla Cappuccino contains soy, and so do the Omelette Bites, the Beef Chili and most of the sandwich sauces. Soy may contain marks are common on drinks and donuts, which is why the soy column matters even for a simple coffee order.

Peanuts

Only three items in the whole guide contain peanuts: Peanut Butter, the Peanut Butter Cookie and the Reese’s Minis Dream Cookie. Three more items may contain peanuts: the Chocolate Chunk Cookie, the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and the Double Chocolate Brownie. The short list is good news, but the shared bakery case warning still applies, so mention a peanut allergy before you order anything baked.

Tree Nuts

Three items contain tree nuts: the Carrot Cake Walnut Muffin, the Banana Pecan Muffin and the Yogurt Parfait. The may contain side is the longest column in the guide at 112 items. Even a Cappuccino or a Latte carries a tree nut may contain mark in the July 2026 guide. Shared drink machines and a shared bakery case are why this column runs so long, and tree nut allergy readers should scan it closely.

Fish & Shellfish

The guide tracks fish and shellfish in one combined column. Exactly one item on the menu contains it: the Clam Chowder, which also contains wheat, gluten and milk. No item carries a fish and shellfish may contain mark in this edition. This is the shortest column in the chart, and the easiest one to check.

Sesame

Sesame is in 14 items. The Sesame Seed Bagel, the Everything Bagel and the 12-Grain Bagel contain it, along with the breakfast sandwiches and BELT sandwiches built on those bagels and the two grilled cheese melts. Another 31 items may contain sesame, including the croissants and the classic bagels, so a plain bagel is not a sure thing for sesame allergy readers.

Mustard

Mustard hides in 14 items and has no may contain marks at all in this edition. It sits in the Turkey Bacon Club, the BLT, the Ham & Cheddar, the Steak & Cheddar and the crispy chicken sandwiches and wraps, and in the Mayonnaise, Creamy BBQ and Creamy Peppercorn sauces. The quiet surprise is the Cream of Broccoli Soup, which contains mustard along with milk and soy.

Sulphites

Ten items contain sulphites: eight chocolate donuts, including the Boston Cream, the Chocolate Dip and the Double Chocolate, plus the Yogurt Parfait and the Turkey Bacon Club. The may contain list is much longer at 75 items, most of them baked goods. Sulphites rarely get asked about at the counter, which is exactly why the column is worth a look before you order.

What the guide does not cover

The guide rates standard recipes for items served in Canadian restaurants. Its own notes say that test items, limited time only items and certain regional offerings may not be listed. A seasonal drink or a test item at one store can be missing from the chart even while it is on sale.

Custom orders change the picture too. The chart covers the standard build of each item. Swap the milk, add a syrup or drop the cheese and the marks for your cup or sandwich are no longer the standard ones. Bottled and packaged items, such as bottled juices, are not rows in the restaurant guide at all; the label on the bottle is the source for those.

Need the full ingredient list?

An allergen chart tells you where the ten tracked allergens are. It does not print a full ingredient list. For the ingredient list of one item, Tim Hortons points guests to its Guest Care team through the Help Centre: open Contact Us, choose a general inquiry, then the nutrition and ingredients topic, and ask for the item you need. Allergy and nutrition details also appear under each menu item in the Tims app and on the Tim Hortons website.
