Allergens & Ingredients

At Maciel's, our goal is simple: make delicious foods from recognizable, minimally processed ingredients whenever possible. Nearly all of our meats are made in-house from whole ingredients rather than commercially produced meat substitutes.

Many of our signature meats - including our pastrami, salami, turkey, and bacon - are made from a combination of vegetables and legumes, such as chickpeas, cannellini beans, and beets, along with seitan, a protein made from wheat. The vegetables and legumes provide flavor, nutrition, and structure, while the seitan adds protein and helps create the satisfying texture associated with meat.

Seitan has been enjoyed in many cultures for centuries and is naturally high in protein while being low in fat. Because it is made from wheat protein, however, it contains gluten and is not suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten allergies or sensitivities. Although most of the wheat starch is removed during production, seitan is not gluten-free.

We also offer several gluten-free meat alternatives. Instead of seitan, these products are made with other whole-food ingredients. Our adobo short ribs are made with jackfruit and chickpea flour, our tuna salad is chickpea-based, our egg salad is tofu-based, and our cheeseburger is made from tempeh.

Several of our products are also made with soy ingredients, including tofu, tempeh, and soy protein. Whole and minimally processed soy foods have been extensively studied and are recognized as nutritious sources of complete protein, fiber (in many forms), vitamins, and minerals. They are also associated with heart health when eaten as part of a balanced diet. If you have a soy allergy, however, these items should be avoided.
