Food Waste Myths FAQs

Can you freeze HelloFresh meals?
Yes. You can freeze HelloFresh meals for up to two months to keep them fresher for longer. All foods should be kept in their original packaging, a separate airtight container, or a freezer bag with a label indicating the date when it was frozen.
How long does HelloFresh meat last in the fridge?
When properly stored in the fridge, HelloFresh meat can last up to five days, although we recommend consuming it within three days. The internal temperature of the fridge should be set to 4°C or lower to ensure freshness. In addition, make sure to check the expiration date of your items and consume the food within the timeframe given.
How to store HelloFresh meals?
To properly store HelloFresh meals for maximum freshness, keep ingredients in their original packaging and refrigerate them at 4°C or below. You can also freeze any uncooked meals if you plan to consume them within the next month or two. If you've already cooked your HelloFresh meal, you can safely store it in a freezer bag or airtight container and refrigerate it for consumption within the following days.
Do HelloFresh meals come frozen?
All HelloFresh meal kits are carefully packaged to ensure maximum freshness upon delivery. HelloFresh meals do not come frozen, but you can freeze contents for up to two months. Be aware that foods with a high liquid content will expand when frozen, so try to avoid filling containers to the brim with liquid ingredients.
