Posted by We Feed You Author on

Ensuring Safe, Endorsed Gluten-Free Meals

At We Feed You, we take the term gluten-free seriously. For those living with coeliac disease or even a gluten intolerance, ensuring that meals are 100% gluten-free is not just a preference—it’s a necessity. That’s why we test our meals through an independent authority, with results shared with Coeliac Australia.

With more people searching for safe, gluten-free meal delivery options, we want to explain why independent gluten testing is critical, how it works, and why it ensures we can confidently provide delicious, Coeliac Australia endorsed gluten-free meals delivered to your door. We'll also share some of the FAQ's we commonly get asked. 


Why Independent Gluten Testing is Essential for Gluten-Free Meals

1. Protecting Those with Coeliac Disease

For people with coeliac disease, consuming even traces of gluten can trigger serious health consequences, including damage to the small intestine. Unlike food trends where people opt for no added gluten as a lifestyle choice, for coeliacs, it’s about strict medical necessity.

At We Feed You, we don’t just label meals “gluten-free” based on ingredient lists—we go the extra steps to have our meals independently tested. This helps to ensures our meals are safe, meets Coeliac Australia’s strict gluten-free certification standards, and gives our customers confidence in what they’re eating.

2. Trusted Verification by an Independent Authority

Many meal providers claim to offer no added gluten food, but without rigorous third-party testing, there’s the potential risk of cross-contamination. Using terms like "no added gluten" can be a giveaway that a restaurant or business may not know what they are talking about when it comes to the gluten free requirements of their clients. To ensure accuracy, We Feed You:

  • Submits a wide selection of meals from our gluten-free range for independent laboratory testing.
  • Covers diverse ingredients and meal types to ensure different component remains gluten-free.
  • Sends results to Coeliac Australia, who independently assess compliance with their gluten-free standards.

This ongoing verification process means that when you see the Coeliac Australia Endorsement on our meals, you can trust our meals are gluten-free.


How We Use Gluten Testing to Improve and Innovate

Some meal providers may see gluten testing as a regulatory burden, but at We Feed You, we fully support the testing process because it allows us to:

  • Keep Doing What We Do with Confidence – Testing provides scientific proof that our meals have no gluten detected, so we can continue offering a safe and trusted range to our customers.
  • Expand Our Gluten-Free Meal Range – With strict testing in place, we can continue to develop new gluten-free meals while ensuring they meet certification standards.
  • Enhance Food Safety & Best Practices – Our team wants to maintain a solid record for our testing which ensures we are always looking for ways to refine processes, eliminate potential risks, and maintain the highest quality standards.
