A guide to our dietary symbols

Getting the right nutrition is important to everyone, 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 symbols indicating diabetic, lower fat, reducing,  moderate salt, gluten free and vegetarian options. We can also provide details of meals ‘free from’ nuts, dairy & onions.

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.
