Dietary Information

Healthy eating is so important for us all so we make sure each meal is balanced, nutritious and full of flavour. We carefully control salt, sugar and fat levels and many of our meals are suitable for special diets. Look for the colour-coded symbols indicating diabetic, lower fat, reducing, moderate salt, gluten free and vegetarian options.

A range of soft and puréed meals are also available on request and we can provide details of meals ‘free from’ nuts, dairy, onions etc – just ask your friendly local outlet..

Meals are labelled with a description of ingredients, detailed nutritional information and cooking guidelines. The diet guide below is given as an indication only and may be subject to variation – we advise you to always refer to the meal label for definitive information.
