Hi,
The meals I ordered will be here on a Friday. However, I wont begin eating them until Monday. How long will the five last me before going bad?

Hi Shauntia,

Since we cook the meals and ship them without using chemical/artificial preservatives, they do have a shorter refrigerated shelf life than say, commercial frozen dinners, etc. Just like if you were to cook food at home and store in your refrigerator!

Typically the "use by" date on the meals is about 4-5 days from the ship date. You can certainly freeze them to make them last far longer, you'll just want to add at least 1 minute to the heating time if heating from frozen.

They have recently changed their FAQs around expiration dates and the official answer is now 3-5 days. However, I have been getting them for more than 6 weeks and almost every meal always has a week on it. The exceptions are for meals with chicken (typically 6 days) or fish (4-5)
