United Airlines is expanding its on board food choices with new menu items, including gluten-free options for premium-cabin and Economy customers.

Starting March 1, the airline will offer gluten-free salad dressing on its premium-cabin menu for flights departing the United States to points throughout North and Central America. Gluten-free soup is already offered on these routes. With the addition of the salad dressing, customers can enjoy soup and salad with their meal. Starting this summer, United will add gluten-free options for premium-cabin customers on long-haul international flights departing the United States.

United has also added more premium offerings in its Choice Menu Classic, Savory, and Tapas Snack Shop snackboxes. About half the items in the boxes are not gluten-free. Starting spring, the Savory snackbox will include all gluten-free items. Snack Shop selections are available for purchase in United Economy on most North and Central America flights scheduled for more than two hours and flights to and from northern South America. Along with that, there is an option to buy gluten-free Two Degrees Fruit & Nut Bars a la carte.

Yogurt lovers may be happy to hear United has replaced its regular yogurt with Greek yogurt in premium cabins on flights departing the United States to points throughout North and Central America. Starting in the spring, the airline will have Chobani Flip Greek yogurt as breakfast options on its Bistro on Board menu for p.s., "Premium Service", flights: between New York JFK and Los Angeles; and New York JFK and San Francisco.

"Our customers are looking for menu choices that reflect their heightened focus on health and good nutrition," said Lynda Coffman, United's vice president of food services. "By introducing new choices for premium-cabin and United Economy customers, we continue to provide a more flyer-friendly inflight experience for travelers."
