Tim Horton's, one of the largest fast-food restaurants in Canada specializing in Coffee, has partnered up with 'Chobani' to add a variety of oat milk substitutions to its menu. In celebrating this collaboration, Tim Horton's has unveiled the 'Cinnamon Oat Milk Latte,' and also added the option to substitute oat milk in place of the previous options. Tim Horton's has previously had milk substitution options of 2%, 1%, and skim milk, and now it will have a plant-based option as well with Chobani's oat milk.
This option opens up a much larger portion of Tim Horton's menu to vegan consumers, who would previously need to order their beverages without milk or cream. However, Tim Horton's has stated that it is not an allergy-free or cross contamination-free kitchen, so it is still possible to receive traces of animal-based products in the vegan options.
