So, what is HelloFresh?

We’re a meal kit delivery service designed to make dinnertime simple and delicious!


How do we do this? By delivering fresh, seasonal ingredients and easy-to-follow recipe cards right to your door, making it quick and easy for you to cook wholesome dinners the entire household will love.


How does it work? You select your meals to create your perfect menu, and we’ll deliver the exact amounts of everything you need to make the meal. You’ll just need to have a few pantry staples on hand (don’t worry - it’s just a few basics and you can check what you'll need when you select your meals).


We run a flexible subscription, so there’s no scary lock-in terms or cancellation fees. And the best part? You can manage your account on the go via our free HelloFresh app. Just make sure any changes are made before the deadline, which is 11:59 PM five days prior to your delivery.

What's in the box?

In your box, you'll receive step-by-step recipe cards, an insulated cool bag with ice packs containing all your meat, prepped veg and dairy products, and all the portioned out ingredients you need to easily create delicious dinners.


The only ingredients you need at home are some basic pantry items, which will be listed on the recipe card. You can also check which items you'll need in advance when selecting your meals.

Can I recycle my packaging?

Packaging improvements have always been a priority to our operations teams around the world. The balance we always strive for is between the amount of packaging and the need to maintain food quality and safety (thereby reducing food waste).

We have introduced the use of on packet recycling labels on some of our packaging, which will tell you exactly what can and can't be recycled. The best way to tell is to ask your local council. Alternatively, check out our page 'Innovative Packaging'.

Where can I find a list of allergens?

HelloFresh has a variety of recipes that could potentially contain an allergen. Ingredients are stored separately in order to minimise cross-contamination.

Most ingredients pass through HelloFresh to you sealed in the packages they were received in, however, there is a small chance of cross-contamination so we cannot guarantee that a recipe is free of a particular allergen.

At the moment we don't offer specific allergy preferences. We do list all of the allergens on our recipe cards, and on the website when you're selecting your recipes. We highlight specific ingredients that contain one or more of the fourteen major allergens.

We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine which recipes best suit their dietary needs.

Do you offer vegetarian/vegan options?

When you're placing your first order you can select a veggie preference or if you are already a customer you can change your preference to include veggie recipes.

Click on the button below to change your preference.

HF-FAQ-CTA-Preference

We offer a range of veggie recipes which vary each week and we don't guarantee vegan options. Recipes are available on the website up to four weeks in advance so it’s worth taking a look and making your choices in the weeks prior to your delivery.
