Not yet! Stay tuned.

Product Questions

The Simek’s products that are gluten free are our Turkey Meatballs and Simek’s Kids Mini Breakfast Sausage Meatballs.

Currently, the only Simek’s product that is dairy free is Simek’s Kids Mini Breakfast Sausage Meatballs.

All varieties of our meatballs are made in a facility that is entirely nut free, including peanuts and tree nuts. The only major allergens present in our meatball facility are soy, wheat, milk, and egg. Our meatballs that are gluten-free are produced in this same facility, however, there is a complete production room sanitization completed every time a new allergen is introduced.

Our lasagnas are made in a different facility which is not nut free at this time.

Impact

Every Simek’s purchase donates one meal. We partner with Feeding America and their food bank network and our retail partners to ensure that the meal donated from your Simek’s purchase is making an impact in your very own community.

We partnered with rePurpose Global to certify Simek’s as a plastic neutral brand. We calculate our plastic footprint – from our packaging and shipping materials – then we fund the removal of as much ocean bound plastic from nature as our annual footprint.
