Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

You certainly can! We really try to make it easy to manage your subscription, so if you need to take a break from our delicious meals or you decide that Factor isn’t a fit for you, all you need to do is log into your account and you can cancel your subscription there.

While you can cancel at any time, canceling your subscription does not cancel existing orders.

If you cancel your subscription after the weekly cutoff time and an automated order was placed, that order cannot be canceled and you will receive it the following week.

What is the difference between Refer-a-Friend and Factor Freebies?

With our Refer-a-Friend program, you can send your unique referral link to your friends and family members. They’ll receive up to $150 off across their first 6 orders (this is a multi-week discount designed to make sticking to their goals effortless) and you'll receive a $40 credit on your Factor account!

Factor Freebies are free meals that you earn for reaching a certain milestone with Factor! They have a $78 value and can be shared with friends and family who have never had a Factor subscription.

Please note that we are unable to combine these offers.

How much sodium is in Factor meals?

The sodium content of our meals can be viewed on the nutrition facts label. Currently, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming 2,300 mg of sodium or less per day for healthy adults. Factor’s meals average around 800 mg of sodium per meal, which can help you stay within this recommendation. We always recommend speaking with your doctor prior to ordering our meals to ensure we are a good fit!

Do you offer plans for people with special requirements?

Transparency is important to Factor, and we make it our priority to provide as much nutrition information to our customers about every ingredient in every recipe as possible.

Because an expansive amount of dietary preferences and dietary needs exist, we may not be able to accommodate specific needs. We leave it to our customers to review the ingredients and determine with their healthcare team which meals best meet their dietary needs.

My Freezer Provisions items arrived in a different box than my other items. Is this normal?
Yes! Your Freezer Provisions items will always arrive in a completely separate box than your other meals and add ons. This box could arrive 1-2 days after your Factor meals box so be on the look out for 2 separate tracking info links. This is in order for us to ensure they arrive in optimal condition for you to enjoy!
COVID-19

The health of our customers and the safety of our food has always been the #1 priority for Factor and while COVID-19 is very much top of mind to all of us these days, it is only one of many food safety concerns that the ready-to-eat meals businesses (such as restaurants, grocery stores and Factor) manage every day.

We take this responsibility seriously and always meet or exceed the ongoing guidance from the experts at CDC, FDA, USDA and Health Departments across all aspects of our business and are taking extra precautions to provide further assurance to our customers during this current pandemic.

  • Our kitchen and production facility undergoes a full, “deep” sanitation daily as well as multiple sanitation cleaning of all equipment throughout the day.
  • Employees are given a health screening as they arrive at work and are sent home if they are ill; all employees properly wash their hands every time they enter a food production area and always wear gloves and masks when they handle food. They are provided clean coats, which are changed at specific times during each day. Hair and beard nets have always been worn throughout our production facility with 100% compliance.
  • The Factor facility is permitted by the Health Department whose standards mirror or exceed those of the USDA, FDA and Illinois Department of Health. We operate with robust quality and food safety protocols which are designed specifically for our facility. And of course, our kitchen adheres to USDA cooking/cooling temperature requirements.
  • Employees who pack your weekly order wear masks and gloves when handling the packaged meals and equipment is regularly wiped down and sanitized.

    Here is a link to the FDA's frequently asked questions site regarding COVID-19.

    Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team with any questions by calling 888.573.5727.
If I experienced a food safety issue with my box, ingredient(s), and/or specific meal-kit, what should I do?
At Factor, the safety and quality of our ingredients is our highest priority. In the event that you experience a food safety issue or concern with your order, please reach out to our Customer Care team. You will be directed to a specialized team of food safety agents who provide dedicated support and assistance. To better aid our investigation process, we may ask for additional information regarding your order (i.e. recipe names, pictures, delivery and packaging information).
