Exciting Changes to Just Meals: More Vegan Options, Clearer Labels

At Food Works, we’re always evolving to provide fair, sustainable, and affordable food for everyone in Sheffield. As part of this mission, our Just Meals range is changing to offer more choice for vegan customers while making our labelling system even clearer.

What’s Changing?

More Vegan Choices

From January, we’re expanding our range of vegan meals under our purple-labelled Just Meals line. This means more delicious plant-based options for those looking for sustainable, meat-free meals.

Fewer Meat-Based Meals

As we continue to focus on sustainability, we will be offering a reduced selection of meat-based meals.

Updated Labelling System

From February, we’re streamlining our meal labels to make it easier for you to choose the right meals for your dietary needs:

Current System: 

🔵 Blue – Regular (may include meat or fish)

🟢 Green – Vegetarian

🟠 Orange – Vegan & Low Allergen

🟣 Purple – Gluten-Free

New System (From March):

🔵 Blue – No dietary restrictions

🟢 Green – Vegetarian

🟠 Orange – Vegan & Low Allergen

🟣 Purple – Vegan (no longer gluten-free)


If you need gluten-free options, please choose orange-labelled meals instead of purple, as the new purple label will not be low allergen or gluten-free.

Keeping You Informed

We’re committed to making sure you have all the information you need about these changes. You’ll find updated details on our website and in all our partner hubs. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at info@thefoodworks.org
