Gluten free, low FODMAP, vegetarian lasagne
Meals for special diets (without the compromise)
Many of our customers aren’t just looking for convenience - they’re managing specific dietary needs.
That’s why our meals are:
- 100% gluten-free
- Made with whole food ingredients
- Free from unnecessary fillers and additives
Whether you’re coeliac, health-conscious, or simply trying to avoid overly processed food, our meals are designed to support how you want to eat - without compromise.
Other diets we cater for include: low FODMAP, onion and garlic free, lactose-free, diabetes-friendly, vegan and vegetarian options, as well as meals that are a good source of protein and fibre, and support aged care and NDIS nutrition — all made with real, whole food ingredients.
Real food, made for real life
At We Feed You, we create prepared meals delivered across Melbourne using:
- Small batch cooking
- Locally sourced ingredients where possible
- Pantry staples you recognise
No fad diets. No shortcuts. No mass production.
Just food, made properly.
What’s really hiding in your ready-made meal?
Here’s the part most brands don’t talk about.
Many takeaway and mass-produced ready meals only tell you what they have to.
Take something as simple as “chicken stock”.
Sounds harmless - but in many cases, it's where a lot of extras are added. Another brand for example uses chicken boost: with Salt, sugar, maltodextrin (from maize), chicken fat, flavours, onion powder, yeast extract, chicken powder, flavour enhancer (635), colours (turmeric, caramel IV), herb extracts. All hidden behind one simple ingredient.
Compare this to We Feed You chicken stock in our Butter Chicken Curry which contains: water, chicken, brown onion, carrot. celery, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves.
I know which one I'd prefer!
Mass-produced vs real food: the difference
| Ingredient / Feature | Mass-Manufactured Ready Meals | We Feed You Meals |
|---|---|---|
| “Chicken Stock” | where lots of hidden nasties can be found | Built naturally from real ingredients |
| Ingredients List | Long, complex, hard to recognise | Short, clear, real and recognisable ingredients and pantry staples |
| Additives & Preservatives | Common for shelf life | None added but may appear in pantry staples like oyster sauce or coconut milk |
| Flavour | Built with enhancers and additives | Built from herbs, spices, and whole foods |
| Oils Used | Low-cost, highly processed oils | Mostly Extra virgin olive oil and quality fats |
| Protein Quality | Often processed or bulked out | Whole cuts of meat, fish, or plant-based proteins |
| Vegetables | Minimal or heavily processed | Real, whole vegetables |
| Cooking Method | Mass-produced at scale | Small batch cooking |
| Transparency | May be hard to find ie. if a compound ingredient is small (usually <5%), not all have to be declared*. So chicken stock and other ingredients may contains lots of compound ingredients (source FSANZ). | Full transparency — you see every wholefood ingredients we use and listed as supplied by the manufacturer for items like sauces, pasta, pantry staples. |
| After-Meal Feeling | Heavy, sluggish | Nourished, satisfied, energised |
"All the ingredients which make up a compound ingredient must be declared in the ingredient list, except when the compound ingredient is used in amounts of less than 5% of the final food. An example of a compound ingredient that could be less than 5% of the final food is the tomato sauce (consisting of tomatoes, capsicum, onions, water and herbs) on a frozen pizza.
However, if an ingredient that makes up a compound ingredient is a known allergen it must be declared regardless of how much is used." FZANZ
What we do differently
We believe you should know exactly what’s in your food.
Take our Honey Soy Chicken

Chicken, Carrot, Broccoli, Brown Rice, Brown Onion, Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce (Whole soybeans, water, sea salt, alcohol), Honey, Rice Vinegar (Water, Alcohol, Rice, Sake Cake Extract), Garlic, Ginger, Sesame Oil, White Sesame Seeds.
No hidden nasties!
The difference you can taste—and feel
When meals are made this way, it’s not just about taste.
It’s about how you feel after eating:
✔️ Nourished
✔️ Satisfied
✔️ Energised
Not heavy. Not sluggish. Not second-guessing your food.
Support when you need it most
For many of our customers—especially those on the NDIS or aged care support programs — food is about more than convenience.
It’s about:
- Maintaining independence
- Enjoying meals again
- Having confidence in what you’re eating
We’re proud to support people who need a little extra help — without lowering the standard of what’s on the plate.
So… which are you?
Busy. Time-poor. Health-conscious. Supporting someone else.
Or just someone who loves good food.
