Carl says: I got my first Hello Fresh shipment and it was disgusting. The chicken leaked all over everything else, it all went in the garbage. I contacted their customer service, and it was middling. I got a credit, and new meals coming 2 wks out. The whole point was meals this week while inlaws were in town. Now I just have extra garbage in the garbage bin. It was gross.
Jordan Schultz says: Hi Carl– Jordan here from the HelloFresh community team. We hear you, and we’re so sorry to hear about the disappointing delivery experience. If you wouldn’t mind, please reach out to our customer care team at hello@hellofresh.com or 1-800-733-2414. We want to make this up to you!
Cynthia says: I LOVE HELLO FRESH!! The meals are yummy and I am learning how to cook in the process!! Who knew I could make risotto?? Fresh produce and meats, colorful creative packaging, its amazing!! Thank you HelloFresh!!
Jacqueline says: This just made our day! Thank you, Cynthia. We’re so happy to hear how much fun you’re having with HelloFresh 🙂
Mary Ann Garcia says: Please skip next week
Jacqueline says: Hi Mary Ann! To skip a week, please log in to your account, click MY DELIVERIES, then SKIP WEEK. Just be sure to let us know by 11:59pm 5 days prior to your next scheduled delivery so we can alert our suppliers. Thank you!!

Dovas says: Happy Nutrition Day! Great read and very interesting to know that Juice detox cleanse is a myth… I wish I knew that before buying all those detox shots.
Jordan Schultz says: Live and learn, Dovas. Live and learn!
Marie says: Do you have low sodium recipes?
Rebecca Lewis MS RDN says: Hi Marie,
As the Head Dietitian, I’d be happy to help answer your question. HelloFresh has a large variety of recipes and options each week to pick from. We list out all of the nutrition information on the website next to the meal choices up to 6 weeks in advance before your box arrives. You can log in and see the nutrition (including sodium) ahead of time in order to select the recipes that work best for you. If you are ever uncertain about something, you can also reach out to the dietitian’s directly at nutrition@hellofresh.com
Love your very balanced approach to clean, healthy eating! I agree with you about the juice fasts. They are just sugar water with the fiber (“pulp”) removed! If you are using them to detox, it is NOT going to help with that because one of your biggest cleansing organs, the colon, needs that discarded fiber to bind to toxins and eliminate them from the body. Thanks for your post!
Jordan Schultz says: Hi Camille! Jordan here, from the HelloFresh community team. So glad you enjoyed our take. We’ll let Rebecca and Sarah know!
Lisa says: Are any thee plans sent with Organic ingredients?
Jacqueline says: Hi Lisa – The focus of HelloFresh is on helping our customers make those first steps towards cooking well-balanced meals at home. While our product is not organic, what we do concentrate on is what produce looks and tastes best. We work with sustainable business partners to ensure high quality, seasonal, and farm-sourced produce is delivered to our customers at peak freshness. All of our suppliers have a wealth of experience, and we feel they really are some of the best! If you have any questions about our fruits and veggies, please feel free to reach out to the produce team directly at produce@hellofresh.com.
Linda says: Hi there-I must be overlooking the nutritional values on your meals. For example, the sodium is of particular interest to me-but, I can’t find it! Can you help me out here? Thank You
Jordan Schultz says: Hi Linda! All of our nutritional information is listed on the website. here is our current menu. Simply click the recipes and you’ll be able to see the nutritional breakdown on the page. We also send a nutrition card in our boxes!
Elizabeth says: As a retired RD in a rural Va town, l am enjoying hello fresh foods. Beats our lonely grocery. But we do hit farmers market and local seafood. Thank you
Jacqueline Parisi says: Thanks for being part of the HelloFresh family, Elizabeth!!

Gina Davis says: Can you do more education on oils? I use grape seed oil for everything.
Jordan Schultz says: That’s great feedback to hear, and we’re glad you found this content useful! We’ll certainly pass that along.
Scott says: Your recipes commonly say to use Olive oil for high heat oven cooking and pan searing, but make no mention of this distinction that it should not be EVOO. You should say something like “Olive Oil (not EVOO)” in your recipes, as most of your clients probably have not read this blog/do not know the difference, and are using EVOO instead.
Jordan Schultz says: Jordan here, from our community team. Thanks for the feedback, Scott! We’ll pass that along to our team.
A Lockamy says: I agree! I did not know that there was that much difference between Olive Oil & Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) – nor did I know the abbreviation for it!
Jordan Schultz says: It’s a little distinction, but it makes a BIG difference when cooking!
Ellen DuBois says: Am trying to reach someone to change plan to once a month. Need a way to contact on Web site/app
Jacqueline says: Hi Ellen – feel free to give our awesome Customer Care team a call at 1-800-733-2414!
Unless I missed it, there’s no mention that it’s also WASTEFUL to use EVOO for cooking as the cost is MUCH HIGHER! I always keep BOTH kinds on hand for that reason.
Sharron says: I can’t sign up for this until Sept but I love your site and I can’t wait to cook your food. We’re going to have a cook-off.
Jacqueline Parisi says: LOVE THAT IDEA!!! Can’t wait for you to join the HelloFresh family, Sharron.
Caroline says: Very interesting. Things you don’t know. Thanks.
Kay says: What regular olive oil do you recommend?
Jordan Schultz says: We love Colavita!
Pat says: I love the service and concept of Hello Fresh and as a fan of miniatures and cooking, I am making Christmas Tree decorations out of the little bottles of Oil and Vinegar that come in my packages.
Now if only we could figure out a way to repurpose the freezer packs, Do you know anyone who recycles them? I think I’ll bring them to our veterinary clinics for the distribution of RX. I’ll let you know if that works out.
Anne says: Would love to get a comparison from your chefs on what they think of olive oil vs avocado oil. I use avocado oil for everything!
Terri says: Very interesting article. I did not know the difference in the two oils so glad I read up on it. Thanks
Diane says: Some months ago I read that the Italian olive oil producers were mixing other ingredients into their olive oil and were sending this diluted olive oil and especially evoo to us in the US. Have you read this too?

Please tell me what to do with the gray-black spots appearing on the outside of the fleshy part. In this video, and on cooking shows, it appears that they are either not there or totally ignored. Of course, I find then unappetizing and I cut them off.
Jacqueline says: Hi Natalie – a few bumps and scrapes is totally normal. Feel free to cut around them – we promise the rest of the avocado is still delicious!
