How long does my food last in the fridge?

Here are our recommendations for consuming your meals while they are at their freshest:

  • Raw seafood (salmon in a pan, bagged shrimp, etc) - recommend to cook by Thursday night each week

  • Raw chicken - recommend to cook by Thursday or Friday

  • Vacuum sealed meat (ground beef, ground turkey, individually packaged steaks, salmon still in individual factory sealed packages) - recommend to cook by Friday

  • Pre-cooked or non-meat items (salads, cooked soups, chicken salad, casserole-type items like baked pasta or enchilada casserole) - these should be good through Saturday or Sunday.

  • Protein balls - these contain all shelf-stable ingredients, so they will be fine in your fridge for a few weeks. They may become dry after the first week, but they are still fine to consume.

    Please note we aim to use whole foods as often as possible, which means there are very few preservative in our meals.
    This makes your food healthier, but it also means your food won’t last as long as many grocery store options,
    many of which have additives included for a longer shelf life.
