This is described as a type of food/dish that is good for those with food intolerances, and is in contrast to 'normale Vollkost'. I have seen it translated as 'light, balanced diet' but this does not match the context. It is for a brochure by a food manufacturer and is used to describe a range of their products aimed at those with intolerances.
Thank you!
Thank you!

light balanced diet of whole foods
I think you might be looking for a term that shows that the foods one eats are not processed but are whole foods. You might need another phrase to describe that this foods are put togeather for a dietary regime for those with food intolerances.

: Without knowing what exactly this is one has to keep the translation vague.

light, normal diet
I don't think what the asker is implying (diet for persons with food intolerances) can conveyed with a single term. One would have to use a phrase with several words in it. My two cents worth

specialty foods suitable for allergies and intolerances/free-from products
Since you seem to be looking for something like a header for a category in a sales brochure, I would suggest this (and the variants below). There seems to be no one or two word term for leichte Vollkost in English, at least not in a header-style context from what I have seen.
Variants could be:
allergen-free foods/allergy-free foods or products
free-from products or foods
special products/foods suitable for food intolerances
free-from, allergy and intolerance (section/products/foods)
etc.
