Do you offer plans for people with special requirements?

Transparency is important to HelloFresh, and we make it our priority to provide as much nutrition information to our customers about every ingredient in every recipe as possible.

Because an expansive amount of dietary preferences and/or dietary needs exist, we are unable to accommodate each one. We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine which recipes best meet their dietary needs.

What type of customized plan do you offer?

Customers have the option to customize their plan meal settings via the following protein-specific preferences: Pork-Free and Veggie. You also have the option to select different preferences such as Meat & Veggie, Veggie, Family Friendly, Pescatarian, Under 20 Minutes, and Fit & Wholesome. Meal preferences do not change the weekly menu, but ensure that you automatically receive the meals that fall under that preference for the given menu week.

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. Once you receive your box, please make sure to unpack the ingredients and refrigerate all items immediately.
Can I narrow down my delivery window?

Deliveries typically arrive between 8 am and 8 pm. We are unable to offer a narrower delivery window; however, you never have to be home to accept the box. And thanks to our specially designed boxes with insulating liners, ice packs, and cooling material, you can rest assured knowing everything will still be cool by the time you return home.

To ensure optimal freshness, we advise that you unpack your ingredients into your refrigerate as soon as possible once they arrive.

How long will my ingredients stay fresh?
To ensure your ingredients stay at the peak of freshness in which they were packed, we recommend storing all items at refrigerated temperatures. With the exception of seafood, all ingredients should be cooked and consumed within seven days of delivery. Seafood should be cooked and consumed within 2 days of delivery. Do not refreeze ingredients.
Where do you source your fish from?

HelloFresh is committed to buying delicious, sustainably sourced seafood, and therefore we have rigorous sustainability standards.

We currently buy both wild-caught and farm-raised fish. We identify the best option for each species on a case-by-case basis and request traceability (including country of origin, catching area, fishery, catch season, and catching method). This changes depending on the type of fish, time of year, and health of the fish population.

We have joined forces with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program and strive to only source ocean-friendly seafood rated Best Choice, Good Alternative, or Eco-certified by trusted, independent programs like the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council), ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) and BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices). HelloFresh also supports the CSARP+ initiative by sourcing from Chilean salmon producers that are leading the industry in antibiotic-reduction efforts.

Please note, the Good Chop bundle box offered through the Marketplace follows the same values and standards as seafood sourced for our HelloFresh boxes. For more information about our suppliers click here.

Where do I store my Ready To Blend Smoothies?

They should always be stored in your freezer, not refrigerator.
