Top Gluten-free Frozen Dinner Brands

Lean Cuisine

Much like Amy’s Kitchen, Lean Cuisine made a name for itself in the booming frozen foods industry by leaning more on producing healthier options and steering away from the typical top-heavy offerings people have grown accustomed to with the frozen dinners of the old. This brand, which is virtually found in every convenience store or grocery’s frozen food section, has over a dozen gluten-free frozen meals that are all well-crafted and very delicious.

These gluten-free options range from so-called ‘comfort foods,’ such as chicken in sweet BBQ sauce and cheddar bacon chicken, to the brand’s top sellers, including chicken fried rice, ranchero braised beef, etc.). All these products are labeled gluten-free in the very front of their packaging.

It is worth noting, however, that these products aren’t tested by any third-party organization to prove that they are indeed 100% gluten-free, as the brand says they are. Nevertheless, Lean Cuisine swears that they all contain less than 20 ppm of gluten, which adheres to the FDA’s gluten-free labeling requirements.
