Mmmm, donuts… The Tim Horton’s web site lists the following nutritional information regarding their baked goods.

Since December 1997, all Tim Hortons products have been completely free of lard and pork by-products. Prior to that, there were only minimal traces of animal fat in some products, however all of these traces were removed at that time. Our mixes are acceptable to the special dietary requirements of most religious groups. All of the formulations of donuts, muffins, tea biscuits and cakes use only vegetable mono- and diglycerides. All donut glazes are completely vegetable based.

I’m not entirely sure why, but I found this level of corporate disclosure both refreshing and mildly disturbing. And I always thought that donut glazes were sugar based. Silly me.
