Yes, all our meals are Monash university certified low-FODMAP.
-
FODMAP stands for ‘Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Mono-saccharides and Polyols’. FODMAPs are a group of dietary sugars found in everyday foods and are indigestible or poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.
FODMAPs have the ability to increase movement of water through the small intestine. Slowly absorbed and indigestible FODMAPs are fermented by gut bacteria to produce gas, a process which can cause the bowel to expand and in people with IBS, contribute to symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and altered bowel motility.
As advised by Monash University, a low-FODMAP diet should only be commenced under the supervision of a healthcare professional. To learn more about FODMAPs and the low-FODMAP diet, visit the Monash website.

We choose to freeze our meals because it can better preserve freshness and nutritional content. Choosing frozen also means reducing food waste, at your home and in our kitchen. It allows us to produce in a more sustainable and less wasteful way and allows you to enjoy your food on your own terms.

No, you do not need to defrost the meals before heating them up. Our meals can go directly from the freezer to the microwave or oven. Please follow the heating instructions on the Product page and on the back of our labels.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For food safety, please do not refreeze heated meals.

Our meals can last for 3 months if stored in a freezer at a temperature below 18 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Fahrenheit. For the best texture and taste, we highly recommend eating the meals within 1 month after delivery. Please check the date on each container for reference.
It’s important to note that the shelf life of your meals is affected by how often your freezer is opened because warm air can lead to freezer burn.

We do not recommend storing the meals in the fridge. For our breakfast oats, you can make overnight oats by soaking them in the fridge overnight.

DO NOT touch the dry ice because it is extremely cold (-78 ℃ or -109 ℉). To get rid of your dry ice, place it in a well-ventilated area until any remaining ice has disappeared (around 24 hours after delivery). Putting dry ice directly on any tiled or solid surfaces could cause damage. We recommend leaving the dry ice in the box, keeping the box open and placing it in a place that’s out of reach for children and animals.
Once the dry ice has dissolved, you can recycle the packaging.
