Delicious dishes whatever your diet
We really believe that a nutritious, tasty and enjoyable diet is important to everyone, regardless of their individual dietary needs. Whether you’ve got a food allergy or intolerance, we know our food looks good, tastes great and meets a wide range of dietary needs.
If you have one or more ingredients you wish to exclude from your diet, look out for our meal filter on the left hand of our site where you can filter meals based on certain dietary requirements and ingredients.
Free From range (now Free From Soya and Mustard too)
For people with food allergies & intolerances, these meals are all free from the following:
Soya, Mustard, Gluten, Egg, Fish, Nuts, Peanuts, Celery, Mollusc, Crustacean, Lupin, Sulphites, Sesame, Milk and all products produced or derived from milk
Our Free From range is also made without onion and garlic.
Special dietary requirements
We have a wide range of ready meals designed for people with specific dietary requirements. They include both main meals and desserts and are designed to take the worry out of mealtimes.
To make things easy, we’ve clearly marked our meals with dietary codes so you can quickly find the dishes that are right for you. All the codes are explained on our Diet Codes page.
Nut allergy?
From September 2013, Wiltshire Farm Foods stopped using peanuts or tree nuts as an ingredient in any of the foods that we prepare in our kitchens. Since then we have been working hard to remove all risk of nut traces contaminating the ingredients we buy although we are not yet in a position to guarantee that all of our products are 100% free from traces of tree nut and peanut and so will not be labelling ‘nut free’.
If you require foods that are free from nuts and peanuts, please choose meals from our Free From range.
Wiltshire Farm Foods will continue to supply foods that intentionally contain nuts through the use of third party food manufacturers who will produce and label food to our strict specifications.
Such foods shall only be handled by Wiltshire Farm Foods when fully sealed in their original packaging.
Lactose Free Meals
It’s surprising how many foods contain lactose, being lactose intolerant can lead to digestive discomfort. With our free from range you can be confident that no lactose is present. In addition, you can still enjoy many dishes in our main range by using our filter to show meals made without milk.
Reduced Sugar Hot Desserts
We all like a little bit of the sweet stuff every now and then. But with many modern desserts hiding a surprisingly high sugar content, managing sugar intake can be hard.
The simple solution? Make tasty desserts with less sugar, of course!
That’s why desserts from our reduced sugar range contain at least 30% less sugar than similar desserts from our standard range making them ideal for people are looking to reduce their sugar intake such as
people with diabetes. As well as this dedicated range many dishes in our standard menu are low in sugar, you can filter by low sugar to discover which meals have less than 0.3g of sugar per 100g. Our clear nutritional advice on each dish allows you to avoid hidden sugars that can appear in foods and help you to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Our dietitian series explains what you need to know about sugar in your food.
Please check the label
Please note that recipes or suppliers may change from time to time if we cannot obtain the quality or quantity of ingredients we need, or to improve flavour. We therefore advise that you always refer to the label on your chosen dish as this will show all the ingredients and indicate any allergens used in that specific recipe. To learn all you need to know about our coding system, visit our Diet Codes Guide.
While every effort is made to minimise changes, more than one recipe could be available at the same time. Ingredients and cooking instructions for our meals can also be found on our website or by contacting your local team.
For more information on reading food labels check out our handy blog.
