The Twin Cities have a serious health-conscious food culture, and Rochester draws patients and families from everywhere — many navigating new dietary requirements. What we ship to Minnesota is simple: chef-prepared meals from a kitchen where gluten has never entered, macros on every label. Meals arrive via FedEx Ground in about three ground days. Order by Thursday at midnight.
SmashMeals cooks every meal in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and does not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the facility. That avoids shared gluten-containing prep equipment and airborne flour from on-site gluten baking, which reduces cross-contact risk compared with a shared kitchen. Ingredients, suppliers, and handling still require controls, so customers with celiac disease should review each meal's ingredient and allergen information and make decisions based on their own medical guidance.
How much does shipping to Minnesota cost?
Shipping is a $30 flat rate via FedEx, no matter how many meals you order. Local Tri-Cities, Tennessee customers can choose pickup or local delivery instead.
How do the meals stay fresh in transit to Minnesota?
Meals ship cold in insulated packaging with ice packs sized for 3-day FedEx ground transit. When they arrive, refrigerate them right away. Most meals keep several days refrigerated, and many can be frozen.
When do I need to order?
Orders close Thursday at midnight each week. Meals are cooked fresh after ordering closes, ship early the following week, and reach Minnesota in about three FedEx ground days.
I was just diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this a good starting point?
It's a straightforward ways to eat while you learn the diet. Every meal is from a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, so there's nothing to double-check while you get your footing.
