A gluten-free meal delivery service provides meals that do not contain any gluten at all. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and it is a common allergen that can cause digestive issues for some people. Gluten must be avoided for those diagnosed with Coeliac disease.

On the other hand, a no added gluten or no added wheat meal delivery service provides meals that do not contain gluten-containing ingredients as part of the recipe. This means that the meals are not made with added wheat, barley, or rye, however certain secondary ingredients used such as soy sauce may contain gluten, and are therefore not suitable for those with Coeliac disease. Additionally, these meals may still be prepared in a kitchen that also processes gluten-containing ingredients, increasing the risk for cross-contamination.

It’s important to note that if you have coeliac disease or a gluten intolerance, a no added gluten meal delivery service may not be safe for you because even small amounts of gluten can cause adverse reactions. In this case, look for a certified gluten-free or dedicated gluten-free meal delivery service.
