While anyone can deliver a box of food, HelloFresh opens up a full experience that brings the fun of cooking back into your life with:
Some, but not all, of our ingredients are organic. The focus of HelloFresh is on helping our customers make those first steps towards cooking well-balanced meals at home. While the majority of our product is not organic, what we do concentrate on is what produce looks and tastes best.
We work with trusted, experienced, and sustainable business partners to ensure high quality, seasonal, and farm-sourced produce is delivered to our customers at peak freshness. Eating organic is certainly one way of eating better; however, the focus with HelloFresh is more on helping customers have a positive cooking experience in the kitchen. We help our customers take the necessary steps to add in more fruits and veggies in their everyday lives.
12+ veggie meals (including up to 2 vegan meals) are offered on our menu each week. These recipes contain fresh fruits, vegetables, hearty grains and/or meatless proteins.
With that said, veggie recipes can be made vegan by leaving out certain ingredients (like cheese or yogurt). We leave it to our customers to determine the appropriate actions that best meet their dietary needs.
Veggie/vegan tags appear under each eligible recipe. You can also log into your account and customize your meal plan to the Veggie preference.

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.
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:

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

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 require 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 Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch and strive to only source ocean-friendly seafood rated Best Choice, Good Alternative, or Eco-certified by trusted, independent programs.
Some of the fish species HelloFresh buys have additional sustainability certifications such as MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) for wild-caught and BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) for farm-raised.
Please note, the Good Chop bundle box offered through the Marketplace follows the same values and standards as seafood sourced for our HelloFresh boxes.

Rizo-Lopez Foods produced potentially contaminated Cotija cheese and announced a nationwide recall. Out of an abundance of caution, the supplier has voluntarily recalled additional cheese products, including shredded Monterery Jack cheese, which was packaged on the same line as the recalled Cotija cheese.

The best way to know if your food is done cooking is to use a food thermometer. When your food reaches a safe internal temperature as measured by a food thermometer, it is done and ready to eat. (ask.usda.gov)
Handwashing is important to the overall cooking process and will help keep you healthy. Wash your hands with soap and water before you start cooking and after each time you touch uncooked or raw meats, poultry, seafood, flour or eggs during cooking.
Handwashing should include these 5 steps:
To ensure food safety, we recommend that you wash all fresh produce prior to consumption, including: fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Fresh produce typically comes straight from the farm, so rinsing or scrubbing your produce is advised. Gently rub produce "skin", such as tomatoes, under cold running water. Scrub firm produce, such as carrots or onions, with a clean produce brush under running water.
Consumers should not wash fruits and vegetables with detergent or soap. These products are not approved or labeled by the Food and Drug Administration for use on foods. (ask.usda.gov)
