Are SmashMeals made for celiac diets?

We operate a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility — no wheat, barley, or rye enters the building. 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. Anyone managing celiac disease should review our allergen practices and consult their own healthcare provider.
