Inside SmashMeals’ Dedicated Gluten-Free Kitchen

A useful kitchen page should make a precise facility statement, name its limits and help you inspect the exact meal you are considering. Here is what SmashMeals can state about its production model—and the checks that still belong in your decision.

The verified facility statement

SmashMeals cooks in a dedicated gluten-free facility. We do not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the building and we do not share equipment with gluten-containing production.

A dedicated gluten-free facility is not an allergen-free facility. Check each meal's label for dairy, soy, egg, nuts, and other allergens.

What dedicated means here

No gluten-containing production in the building

SmashMeals states that wheat, barley and rye are not brought into its production facility.

No shared equipment with gluten-containing production

The production equipment is not alternated between SmashMeals meals and gluten-containing production.

The exact meal still matters

A facility statement does not replace the current ingredient, allergen and label information for the meal you plan to order.

Other allergens are handled

Gluten-free does not mean free from dairy, soy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts or every other allergen.

What this statement does not prove

• It is not a statement that the facility is free from every allergen.
• It is not a finished-food laboratory result for every current meal.
• It is not a third-party certification claim.
• It is not a guarantee that a meal fits an individual medical plan.

Four checks before you order

1. Open the live menu and choose the exact meal you are considering.
2. Read that meal’s current description and any posted ingredient, allergen and nutrition information.
3. If information you need is missing or unclear, ask SmashMeals about that meal before ordering.
4. Confirm the current price, fulfillment option, timing, charges and final total in checkout.

Customer questions

What does SmashMeals mean by a dedicated gluten-free facility?

SmashMeals cooks in a dedicated gluten-free facility. We do not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the building and we do not share equipment with gluten-containing production.

Does dedicated gluten-free mean the kitchen is free from every allergen?

No. SmashMeals handles other common allergens. Check the exact meal’s current label and posted information for dairy, soy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts and other allergens that matter to you.

Is the SmashMeals kitchen third-party certified gluten-free?

This page does not claim current third-party certification. A dedicated-facility statement, product testing and third-party certification are different forms of evidence; ask for current documentation before assuming testing or certification exists.

Does SmashMeals test every finished meal for gluten?

This page does not claim a finished-food laboratory result for every meal. FDA does not require manufacturers to test foods to use a gluten-free claim, but the manufacturer remains responsible for meeting the applicable federal definition.

Does a dedicated facility guarantee a meal is right for celiac disease?

No facility statement is a personal medical guarantee. Review the exact meal information and the business’s current practices, and follow the guidance of your clinician or registered dietitian when suitability is uncertain.

Where can I see the SmashMeals kitchen and current evidence?
