Celiac safety assessment and key features
The Healing Meals was a haven for celiacs—truly, a dedicated gluten-free facility where you could finally let your guard down and skip the awkward 'is this safe?' conversation. Everything from the kitchen to the menu (think hearty chicken enchiladas, generous salmon patties, and chewy brownies) was created in a 100% gluten-free environment, with no risk of cross-contact since 2019. Yes, there was some controversy years ago about non-GF vendor items, but that's firmly in the past; since then, the owner has doubled down on safety, even taking a financial hit to guarantee a celiac-friendly space. It's closed now, but you know what? For a stretch of time in Albany, this was one of those rare places where we could all just breathe easy and eat well.
