    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Meal kits typically include the ingredients necessary to make a complete meal, delivered to your door on a regular basis.

    Celiac.com 04/04/2018 - Meal kits are a growing business segment, and an increasingly popular part of dinner for many busy working people. Meal kits typically include the ingredients necessary to make a complete meal, delivered to your door on a regular basis. For example, a company called  gFoodNow offers a variety of Gluten-Free Mealkits starting a only $6.99 per serving.  

    Another company called Green Chef has now included gluten-free meal options. Business Insider’s Connie Chen recently tried Green Chef’s meal offerings, and wrote about her experience for the magazine.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    In the interest of transparency, Business Insider openly declares that it has an affiliate partnerships with Green Chef, which provides them with revenue. As such, their review should be taken with a grain of salt.  That said, the idea of a reliable, good quality meal kit that is gluten-free, easy to prepare and tasty to eat will likely interest more than a few people with celiac disease.

    The meals Chen tried for one week included Orange Dijon Chicken, Hawaij-Rubbed Steak, and Red Lentil Tikka Masala. Each kit came with a recipe card that listed all meal ingredients, including known allergens, as well as the basic tools required to prepare each meal. 

    The meals can be prepared with simple kitchen tools, including a knife, pot, measuring cup, sauté pan, baking sheet, oil, salt, and pepper.

    In addition to offering gluten-free meal kits, Green Chef offers six more two-person meal kits at the following price points:

    • Omnivore, $11.99/meal
    • Carnivore, $13.49/meal
    • Gluten-free, $13.49/meal
    • Vegan, $11.99/meal
    • Paleo, $14.99/meal
    • Vegetarian, $10.49/meal
    • Keto, $14.99/meal

    Chen did not try the gluten-free meal kits, but instead tried the omnivore kits. We have yet to try Green Chef, but look forward to reaching out to the company. If you have tried Green Chef’s gluten-free meals, we would love to hear about your experience.

    Meantime, you can browse all of Green Chef’s meal plans here.

    I may have been glutened by a green chef meal. It's always hard to trace where you got sick from, but I'm pretty sure it was this. Such a bummer because their meals are great! I'm a highly sensitive celiac so the littlest gluten sets off my immune system.

    I receive this response from a representative of GreenChef (8/22/23), and they advised their ingredients are NOT safe for Celiacs. I don't know if they were at the time of this article:

    Thank you for your interest in our naturally gluten-free options.

    These recipes are a great option for some of our customers with dietary restrictions, adding delicious new recipe ideas to their dinnertime routine.

    However, please note that our naturally gluten-free recipes are not suitable for coeliacs.

    This is because some of the ingredients (such as the spice mixes and sauces) may be produced in factories where other products that do contain gluten are also produced. Any of these ingredients will say "may contain gluten" on the labels to inform our customers of this risk.

    As coeliacs can have severe reactions to gluten, we want to make it very clear that our recipes may contain gluten and therefore may not be safe for coeliacs.

    Please note we follow leading best practices in safe food handling, but all of our orders are made in the same facility. If you have a serious food allergy, please use caution when ordering from Green Chef.

    Healthy gluten-free meals for an entire week, month or year are now possible using the Gluten Free Meal Planner.  With this amazing online service you can get access to ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The menus come with a pretty photo of the finished dish along with easy to follow instructions including preparation and baking time. 
    I especially love the way the shopping list for each week is designed.  It is cross-referenced so you know which food items are needed for which meal, so you don't have to go back and try to figure that out when you return home from the grocery store.

    Celiac.com 08/24/2017 - Despite the proliferation of gluten-free and other alternative dining options at many colleges across America, students on some campuses are feeling left behind.
    While many schools have worked to create dedicated gluten- and allergen-free dining space, a number of colleges and university seem to be lagging. For students on many campuses, the gluten-free revolution can't come fast enough.
    Recent stories about gluten-free dining halls have become common. Kent State and Cornell establishing the countries first certified gluten-free college eatery in the U.Michaela Abel, a senior with celiac disease was forced to cancel her meal plan during her sophomore year due to a lack of gluten-free options at Seattle U's main cafeteria, Cherry Street Market.
