Frequently Asked Questions

The Hellofresh App

How do I select a meal preference using the app?

We want every box to feel like it was curated just for you. Instead of a one-size-fits-all setting, you can now update your Food Profile to let our chefs know exactly what you love (and what you don't).

To update your preferences in the app:

Log in to your HelloFresh app. Tap the Profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner. Select Food Profile where you can exclude specific proteins like beef, pork, or seafood to ensure your automatic weekly picks always align with your lifestyle. Hit Save and then Confirm to lock in your delicious new settings!

Pro Tip: Even with a preference set, you can always head to "My Menu" to manually swap recipes or use HelloCustom to change ingredients on specific meals.

How do I update my delivery address on the app?

All active customers can easily customize their menu up to 5 days prior to their next scheduled delivery date. Here’s how:

Log in to your account on the app. Click on the Profile icon at the bottom right-hand corner. Select 'Edit' on the tab labelled Preference Settings. Scroll down to the Delivery section. Click the Edit button for 'Delivery Address'. Edit your address and don't forget to leave delivery instructions! Click Save. Please note that changes will apply to the upcoming delivery that has yet to be billed for.

Note: While many swaps are included, some premium upgrades may come with a small additional surcharge. You'll always see the price clearly listed before you confirm your switch!
