Gluten-free food boxes: what to check
If you are coeliac, the key question is not whether a box has gluten-free recipes but how it handles cross-contamination. Some services are gluten-free by design; others let you filter recipes but prepare them in a shared kitchen, which may not be safe for medically strict diets. Always check the brand's own allergen statement.
The best gluten-free options
- Mindful Chef - every recipe is gluten-free (and dairy-free) by default, which makes it the simplest choice.
- Field Doctor - offers certified gluten-free and low-FODMAP ready meals, designed by dietitians.
- Gousto and Green Chef - let you filter for gluten-free recipes, though they are not dedicated gluten-free kitchens.
A note for coeliacs
For a medically strict gluten-free diet, a box that is gluten-free by default (Mindful Chef) or certified (Field Doctor) is safer than one that merely offers gluten-free recipes alongside others. allplants, by contrast, states its meals may contain gluten, so it is not a safe choice for coeliacs.
