Aside from making fresh products that are both innovative and supremely tasty, we also pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of Chopped Salad Kits that can fit a number of different dietary restrictions.
For those who need to eat gluten-free and/or dairy-free, get to know our many chopped salad kits that fit the bill—from classic, familiar flavors to the daring and inventive.
But first, let’s clear up a few key points before getting to the delicious details.
What Does Dairy-Free Actually Mean?
A food is considered dairy-free when it contains no ingredients derived from milk or milk-based products from mammals such as cows, goats, and sheep. Common dairy-derived ingredients include milk, cream, butter, cheese, yogurt, and whey.
When a product is labeled as “dairy-free,” it means that it is free from any ingredients derived from milk. Individuals with lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, or those following a vegan lifestyle all require dairy-free foods.
What Defines “Gluten-Free?”
Gluten is the stuff responsible for the elastic texture in dough and gives many baked goods their structure. However, not everyone’s body can handle gluten without issues—making gluten-free foods crucial for people with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergies.
Food is considered gluten-free when it does not contain gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains such as barley, rye, and their derivatives. To be labeled as gluten-free, a food product must adhere to strict standards set by various health organizations and regulatory bodies.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines a product as gluten-free if it meets the following criteria:
- Contains Less Than 20 Parts Per Million (ppm) of Gluten: Foods labeled as gluten-free must contain less than 20 ppm of gluten. This threshold is considered safe for individuals with celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption).
- Does Not Contain Wheat, Barley, Rye, or Crossbreeds of These Grains: Ingredients and derivatives of wheat, barley, rye, and their crossbreeds must not be present in gluten-free products.
Some of the most popular gluten-free alternatives include foods like rice, quinoa, corn, potatoes, amaranth, buckwheat, sorghum, tapioca, millet, and legumes like beans, lentils, and chickpeas.
