How does my food stay fresh in transit?

We have specially designed boxes with insulated liners and cooling gel packs that are modified seasonally to ensure optimal freshness in transit.

Note: We advise that you place all perishable items in the refrigerator immediately upon delivery.

My Bundle Box contains dry ice. How do I safely handle dry ice?

Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide and is much colder than regular ice. It can burn skin similar to frostbite. As dry ice melts, it turns into carbon dioxide gas and can be a very serious hazard in a small space that isn't well-ventilated. You should wear thick, insulated gloves when handling it and avoid inhaling carbon dioxide gas.

Keep dry ice out of the reach of children and pets. Never eat or swallow dry ice. For safe disposal, allow leftover dry ice to melt and turn into gas in a well-ventilated area. Dry ice can cause carbon dioxide gas to accumulate and build up pressure, do not dispose of dry ice in a sewer, garbage disposal, garbage chute, etc.

How long can my smoothie box stay outside?

We freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away. We even modify our packaging based on season to ensure optimal freshness.
Still, despite shipping your box for maximum freshness, we recommend that you not keep your box outside for more than 6 to 8 hours after delivery.
If your products appear thawed when you open the box, check for temperature:

  • If your product is below 40°F, you can enjoy your Ready To Blend smoothie or place it in the freezer to enjoy at a later date
  • If your product is above 40°F, please discard the products and contact our Customer Care team for further assistance.
Is my smoothie box packaging recyclable?

Yes, our packaging is fully curbside recyclable including our insulated liners!
As for dry ice, just place it in a well-ventilated area at room temperature, and the remainder of the ice will evaporate away. Please do not leave it in a place accessible to children or pets. Never dispose of dry ice in a trash can, chemical waste container, garbage can, sink, or toilet. Always use protective gloves to protect your skin: prolonged contact can cause an injury similar to a burn.

Can I donate my box?

How you can help:You can donate a monetary amount via the Beyond the Box section in the HelloFresh Market (Add-ons menu) while you shop!

Should I wash meat or poultry before cooking?
Do not wash or rinse raw meat or poultry before you cook it. Washing can cause bacteria found on the surface of meat or poultry to be spread to ready-to-eat foods, kitchen utensils, and counter surfaces. This is called cross-contamination. Failure to clean these contaminated areas can lead to foodborne illness. Cooking (baking, broiling, boiling, and grilling) to the right temperature kills the bacteria, so washing food is not necessary. Using a food thermometer is the only sure way of knowing if your food has reached a high enough temperature to destroy foodborne bacteria. (ask.usda.gov)
