Coconut milk and coconut cream replace dairy in the curry-based dishes (Lamb Korma, Chickpea Korma, Thai Green Curry, Satay sauces). They give richness and body without using cream, butter or yoghurt, so the dish stays both dairy-free and lactose-free. The flavour profile is slightly different from a cream-based curry, with a subtle coconut note that complements the warm spices instead of competing.

Yes. If a meal contains no dairy, it contains no lactose by definition (lactose is the sugar found in milk products). All meals in this collection are therefore suitable for both lactose-intolerant eaters and people on a fully dairy-free diet for medical or lifestyle reasons. Allergen panels still list milk as a separate flag where relevant for sensitive eaters.

Yes. Our satay base is built on peanut, soy (gluten-free tamari), coconut milk and warm spices, with no dairy ingredients at any stage. The same satay sauce is used across the chicken and tofu versions of the dish. Note that the satay does contain peanuts, so it's flagged for nut allergens on the product page.

The Italian Meatballs with Mash contains dairy from the butter and milk in the mashed potato side, so it's excluded from this collection. The Italian Meatballs with Roast Vegetables version is dairy-free, with the same meatballs and tomato-based sauce paired with roasted seasonal vegetables instead of mash. Both versions use NZ lean beef mince and the same in-house Italian sauce.

The Penne Bolognese is dairy-free in its standard recipe, since the sauce is tomato-based with no cream or cheese added (we don't add parmesan or cream during cooking). The same applies to the Beef Bolognese with Low Carb Spaghetti. If you want to add dairy yourself, a sprinkle of cheese on top after reheating is fine, but the meal is dairy-free as supplied.

Each product page has a full allergen panel that flags milk as a separate ingredient. Look for milk, butter, cream, cheese, yoghurt or whey listed in the ingredient breakdown. Hidden dairy sources we specifically check for include butter in finishing fats, cream in pan sauces, milk powder in stock bases and yoghurt in marinades, all of which are excluded from this collection.

Some meals contain egg, particularly any dishes using egg-based pasta or certain sauce bases. Egg is flagged separately from dairy on the product allergen panel, so a meal can be dairy-free without being egg-free. Filter by egg-free as well as dairy-free on the menu if you need both, which narrows the cross-section to the simpler Asian-flavoured and roast-meat dishes.

No, we prepare both dairy and dairy-free dishes in the same kitchen, with dedicated equipment and surfaces for the dairy-free run where practical. Each tray is heat-sealed before dispatch, which limits any in-transit cross-contact with dairy-containing dishes in the same box. Anyone with severe milk allergy should review the allergen statement and contact us with specific questions before ordering, since we are not a fully certified dairy-free facility.
