About Our New Packaging
See the pictures on this page for some great examples!
We are always striving to enhance the quality and experience of our meals. By actively listening to customer feedback and conducting continuous testing, we’ve developed a new package that delivers more benefits than ever before!
First of all, the meals now contain higher quality ingredients that are strategically separated by compartments. These ingredients will also heat more evenly thanks to the container's new layout. And don't worry, the amount of food in the packaging is exactly the same as it was before.
Secondly, we reduced the amount of plastic in the packaging, which will allow us to eliminate 10 tons of plastic waste in 2025! Despite that change, we were able to make the packaging more durable and secure, ensuring meals are better protected.
And lastly, the new label is clearer and extends to the side, allowing you to identify the meal and its basic information more easily than ever.
Our trays are made from 100% recyclable, food-grade, U.S.-sourced materials and are completely free from toxic chemicals, additives, and heavy metals. The black color is purely aesthetic and does not contain iron oxide pigments or metallic additives. They are microwave-safe and made with non-outgassing resins, ensuring they do not release harmful gases or chemicals when heated. They are also PFAS and BPA-free, with no use of these chemicals at any stage of the production process.
No change in how your enjoy your meals - follow the dates for consumption before or after freezing.
As for cooking, you must first remove any sauce cups that are inside the package. Then, make sure the "ideal seal" is cracked/open and then place/heat it in the microwave (and nowhere else).
Once you have enjoyed your meal, you can recycle the container or you can put it in the dishwasher so you can reuse it.
Your meals will stay fresh for up to 12 days in the fridge until your next delivery arrives, and there is an 'Consume By' date printed on each of the meal labels.
