Celiac-Safe Meals from the Freezer Aisle (🇨🇦)

Whether you’re a full-time student, working long shifts, or just completely wiped after a day of errands — sometimes you need a fast, filling, gluten free meal without the prep, mess, or stress.

But if you have Celiac Disease, you know that grabbing just any frozen meal isn’t an option. Cross-contamination, vague labeling, or hidden gluten can make a convenient dinner turn into a health hazard. That’s why I’ve rounded up some of the best gluten free frozen meals that are safe, tasty, and actually satisfying.

These are the ones I’ve personally tried (I’d never recommend something I wouldn’t eat myself!)

 

1. President's Choice Butter Chicken

My absolute favourite! Tender chicken breast in a creamy tandoori tomato sauce, served with basmati rice. A comforting and convenient meal that heats up in 5 minutes and is completely gluten free. You may notice it listed under different names (Blue Menu Butter Chicken), but it’s the same product.

Cooking Time: Microwave for 5-6 minutes
Where to Buy:  Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart

2. Pinty’s Gluten Free Chicken Fingers

If you’re looking for a quick, crispy, gluten free meal, Pinty’s chicken fingers are a great choice. They take about 20 minutes in the oven and are a convenient option for busy days when you want something tasty and easy to prepare.

Cooking Time: Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
Where to Buy: Sobeys, Metro

 

3.  President’s Choice Gluten Free Chicken Burgers

These gluten free chicken burgers feature juicy chicken patties coated in a crispy rice flour breading for extra crunch and texture. They cook quickly, making them a convenient option for a no-fuss meal. Grill or pan-fry and enjoy with your favourite gluten free bun and toppings.

Where to Buy:  Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart

4. Ristorante Gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza

Craving pizza but need to stay gluten free? Ristorante’s Gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza is a delicious frozen option with a crispy thin crust gooey cheese, and tasty pepperoni slices. It takes about 20 minutes in the oven.

Cooking Time:  Bake in the oven for approximately 12-16 minutes.

5. President's Choice Gluten Free Bruschetta Cauliflower Flatbread

For a lighter, veggie-forward option, this frozen gluten free cauliflower flatbread is topped with fresh tomato bruschetta, herbs, and cheese.
