The vast majority of our dishes are fully gluten-friendly by default, as make a point of using fully gluten-free ingredients such as tamari instead of soya sauce. We offer a gluten-free version of all of our pasta dishes. We do work out of a co-working kitchen space where other kitchen users do use gluten flour, so we classify our meals as gluten friendly, not fully gluten-free.

While we don't have cooler bags as of yet, there are a couple solutions to help:
1. Simply leave a cooler out on your front step or delivery location and our delivery service will leave your delivery inside to stay cold. Please ensure this cooler will be large enough to receive your order as our drivers will not open your sealed bag of meals to arrange within the cooler.
2. If you live in apartment, link up with your concierge service to help you out
3. You can always select to have your meals brought to one of our convenient pickup locations which have long Sunday and Monday hours, making pickup a breeze!

We ask that our clients please thoroughly clean your containers, exactly, and set them outside in your normal delivery spot for our delivery service to collect and returned to us to be used again.
One of our biggest goals with Sprout was to address the wasteful nature of the meal prep industry, we chose to use a high-quality Canadian meal container that can be reused hundreds of times before losing its quality. We believe in reducing our footprint by limiting waste and reusing as much as possible.
Our containers are fully washed and sanitized through our industrial sanitizer for being recirculated, using Health Canada-recommended disinfectants to protect the health and safety of our customers and our team. Quality assurance testing is performed frequently on washed materials, equipment and procedures to ensure our containers have been completely sanitized before next use.
If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!
