Welcome to our labelling guidelines. Here we want to provide you with the details that will help us ensure that every meal contains the information we need to ensure that it goes to the right people.
Bible Verse: If you have room and want to write it on the meal, we have a verse that we like to share. This is:
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. – 1 John 3:18 (NLT)
This is the heart behind what we do and we want people to catch a piece of that.
The Meal Name: This helps us know what we are giving to a family.
Dietary Information: This is extremely important. We need to know if the meal meets certain dietary requirements. Please note if the meal is one or more of the following:
- Gluten Free
- Dairy Free
- Nut Free
- Egg Free
- Vegetarian
- Other – make sure you list it.
If you are not sure, please do not state. Check our Allergy-Free Cooking Guidelines for things to be aware of before choosing an option. Additionally, to give the recipients of our meals comfort, please list the different products used, for example if you used a pasta sauce list the brand and the sauce used (e.g. Watties Pasta Sauce – Tomato & Herb ) as the recipient may recognise a product that is not obviously unsuitable or can then check the ingredients themselves to be satisfied that it is safe.
Please note that we take this very seriously and want you to understand our reasoning behind this – we know people who can have very serious reactions to certain types of food such as gluten, nuts, or egg such that they can’t have even a small amount and for those who are not used to this it can be very easy to miss things. Our labelling guides are here to help you, us, and them ensure that the food they are receiving is not harmful to them.
Notes: Please put any notes that may assist with the meal. These can be reheating instructions or things that may go well with it as a side.
Your Name: If you feel comfortable, it’d be great if you could put your name on the meal. E.g. Made with love by: Jane Doe
