Food & Nutrition
Are your products nut-free?
No. Our kitchen handles peanuts, tree nuts and other common allergens. While we list ingredients carefully for every item, we cannot guarantee that any product is completely free of trace amounts of nuts or nut-based ingredients.
What steps do you take to reduce cross-contact?
We follow strict cleaning and food-safety practices and clearly label ingredients on our website and packaging. However, because all products are prepared in the same facility, there is always a risk of cross-contact.
Do you provide all ingredients on the website?
At Mother of Macros, we focus on providing the key nutritional information most customers are looking for — including calories, protein, carbs, and fats — so it’s quick and easy to shop meals that fit your goals.
Because our menu changes weekly and many meals contain multiple house-made sauces, seasonings, and locally sourced ingredients, maintaining a fully detailed ingredient list for every item in real time can be difficult.
We also prepare meals in a shared kitchen environment and cannot guarantee protection from cross-contamination for allergens. If you have a severe allergy, dietary restriction, or ingredient concern, please reach out to our team before ordering and we’ll be happy to help provide additional guidance whenever possible.
I have a severe nut allergy. Is it safe to order?
