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.

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.
To enjoy, simply follow the instructions listed on the packaging of each cup.
We always recommend viewing the packaging for the most up to date prep instructions and enjoy by date once you receive our Ready to Blend Smoothies!
