Navigating food allergies and intolerances can be a real headache. Whether for health reasons or by choice, finding ready-to-eat meals that meet these restrictions is often a challenge. Fortunately, there is now a simple and safe solution: the new allergen-free and gluten-free meals from Isabelle Huot, Doctor of Nutrition.

Why Are These Meals Different?

For those living with food allergies, the risk of a reaction can turn mealtime into a source of anxiety. Isabelle Huot’s new meals are certified free of priority allergens, meaning they contain none of the following foods, which are the most likely to trigger allergic reactions in Canada:

Eggs
Milk
Mustard
Peanuts
Shellfish and crustaceans
Fish
Sesame
Soy
Sulphites
Tree nuts
Wheat and triticale

And for Those Avoiding Gluten?

Although gluten is not an allergen, it can cause severe reactions in some people, particularly those with celiac disease. This condition triggers an immune response that damages the intestine, compromising the absorption of essential nutrients like iron and calcium. Additionally, some people have a sensitivity to gluten, which can lead to digestive issues or fatigue. For anyone looking to eliminate gluten from their diet, these meals are a safe option, offering peace of mind every day.

A Tasty and Convenient Option for the Whole Family

Whether you have allergies or not, these meals are perfect to keep in the freezer for a nutritious meal on hand, without sacrificing taste.
