We currently accept all major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) as well as PayPal. In the future, we will be adding additional forms of payment to streamline our checkout experience and provide customers with a wider range of options.

Please be advised that this program is currently limited to Visa and MasterCard users and that your card information is not guaranteed to update automatically.

Remember that the deadline to make any updates to your HelloFresh account is 5 days prior to your next scheduled delivery.

Any changes that you make 1-4 days prior to your scheduled delivery (or even the day of your delivery) will be reflected in your HelloFresh account but will not affect that specific box, which will have already been processed.

However, the change(s) will be taken into account for any future deliveries provided you made the change(s) at least 5 days prior to your following delivery.

We take payment security very seriously and do not store our customers' full credit card information on file. Instead, we bill using a secure method called tokenization.

A token is an encrypted, randomly-generated code that is assigned to your payment details during the checkout to securely bill you.

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)

HelloFresh maintains a rigorous selection process to align with suppliers which meet our core standards. Our suppliers adhere to USDA Inspection Guidelines and are supplemented by globally recognized third-party food safety audit programs.

We personally take an on-site visit to every meat vendor we work with to ensure the operation is food safe.

Our meats are primarily sourced domestically.

Per federal regulations prohibiting the use of hormones in chicken and pork, our suppliers' chicken and pork are hormone free.

Animal welfare and sustainability remain an integral component of our corporate commitment to our customers and the environment. These claims will vary by business. We are dedicated to the continued improvement of our supply chain and the food industry.
