Frequently Asked Questions

How are my meals packaged?

All of our meals are delivered to you in completely BPA-free CPET individual plastic containers!

CPET stands for Crystallizable PolyEthylene Terephthalate. These plastics are safe for food storage as well as heating in the microwave or oven.

We ship our meals in insulated boxes with gel packs that will keep the box at refrigerated temperatures for quite a long time! We thoroughly test them in all seasons across all climates.

Keep in mind that it is normal for the gel packs to be slightly melted by the time they arrive. This is because they release cold air into the box as they melt. The cold air does dissipate quickly when you open the box, so you should transfer the meals to the fridge immediately.

Can I heat my meals in an oven?

Refer to the back of the meal sleeve for meal-specific heating instructions, including if your meal can be heated in an oven. Follow the preparation instructions on the packaging and reheat until the meal reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. When using an oven, remove the plastic seal from the meal completely to ensure proper ventilation. Heating times can vary depending on your microwave/oven.

Tip: If using an oven to heat up your meal (check your meal sleeve for applicability), we recommend using a sheet pan so it is easy to get out once hot!

Note: Our meals and packaging are not designed to be heated in a convection or toaster oven.

Can I customize my meals?

At this time, we are unable to customize menus based on specific ingredients or macronutrient needs. However, you do have the ability to view and modify your meals each week and remove any items you don’t want.

Our menu contains a full list of ingredients and nutrition label for each meal. You would just need to log on at some point before the cutoff and do a quick check of the meals we have put in your cart. If any meals contain an unwanted ingredient, just remove them from your cart and add something else. Whatever is in your cart at 11:59 pm CT on your cutoff day will be locked in as your order for the following week.

Do I need to be home to receive my meals?

You do not need to be home to receive your meals! We ship our meals in insulated boxes with gel packs that will keep the box at refrigerated temperatures for quite a long time! We thoroughly test them in all seasons across all climates.

Keep in mind that it is normal for the gel packs to be slightly melted by the time they arrive. This is because they release cold air into the box as they melt. The cold air does dissipate quickly when you open it, so you should transfer the meals to the fridge immediately.

Meals should arrive at a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below. If your meals arrive above this temperature, please discard the meals and contact our Customer Experience Team so we can further assist.

Can I customize my meals?

Yes! Some of our meals are customizable. For example, you may have the option to swap the protein for an alternative. If a meal is eligible for customization, you'll see a dropdown menu at the bottom of the recipe preview that lets you make the change.

Keep in mind that swapping the protein can affect the meal’s nutrition and ingredient profile, which may impact the dietary category it falls under.

How long do meals last?
Your meals will stay fresh for a full 7 days in the fridge.
Do you change the meals on your menu?
We sure do! Our menu changes every week, and we currently add 2-3 new meals to our menu each week. After the weekly cutoff on Wednesdays at 11:59pm CT, you’ll be able to view and modify orders from a brand new menu that our chefs have cooked up!
What if I'm unhappy with any of my meals?
If you're unhappy with one or more of your meals, please reach out to the Customer Experience Team at 888-573-5727!
Are meals fresh or frozen?
Always fresh. We deliver the meals in insulated boxes filled with frozen gel packs designed to keep your food at refrigerated temperatures through transit. Once you receive your meals, you should place them in the fridge ASAP. Once in the fridge, your meals will stay fresh for at least 7 days. Our meals are intended to be enjoyed fresh for optimal quality, we do not recommend freezing.

My gel packs were not fully frozen upon arrival. Is the food safe?

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.
How do I heat up the meals?

Refer to the back of the meal sleeve for meal-specific heating instructions when using a microwave or oven (for applicable meals). Follow the preparation instructions on the packaging and reheat until the meal reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Heating times can vary depending on your microwave/oven.

Tip: If using an oven to heat up your meal (check your meal sleeve for applicability), we recommend using a sheet pan so it is easy to get out once hot!

Note: Our meals and packaging are not designed to be heated in a convection or toaster oven.

How many people does one meal feed?

Each meal feeds one adult for one meal. Our meals will vary in nutrition facts and ingredients, so always make sure to check this before ordering each week. You can view a full nutrition label and list of ingredients for each meal by clicking on the image of the meal on our menu page.

Where do I store my Freezer Provisions items?

These items should always be stored in your freezer, not refrigerator.

To enjoy from frozen, simply follow the instructions listed on the packaging of each item.

We always recommend viewing the packaging for the most up to date prep instructions and enjoy by date once you receive your Freezer Provisions items!

My Freezer Provisions box arrived at a different day/time than my other items. Is this normal?

Yes. Because the Freezer Provisions items arrive in a separate box, this can be expected with any order of our Freezer Provisions items! After your Freezer Provisions purchase has been processed, you will receive an order confirmation email including details informing you of this. Additionally, you will receive an email with a tracking link for your delivery once your order has been shipped.

Rest assured, we freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.

How long can my Freezer Provisions box stay outside?

We freeze our product at peak freshness and pack them with dry ice inside an insulated box to keep them safe and cold, in case you can’t get to your delivery right away.

Still, despite shipping your box for maximum freshness, we recommend that you freeze your items upon receipt and do not keep your box outside for more than 6 to 8 hours after delivery.

If your Freezer Provision items appear thawed when you open the box, check for temperature:

  • If your product is below 40°F for 2 hours or less, you can enjoy your items right away or place them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
  • If your product is above 40°F, please discard the products and contact our Customer Care team for further assistance.
Is my Freezer Provisions box packaging recyclable?

Yes, our packaging is fully curbside recyclable including our insulated liners!

As for dry ice, just place it in a well-ventilated area at room temperature, and the remainder of the ice will evaporate away. Please do not leave it in a place accessible to children or pets. Never dispose of dry ice in a trash can, chemical waste container, garbage can, sink, or toilet. Always use protective gloves to protect your skin: prolonged contact can cause an injury similar to a burn.

How do I safely handle dry ice?

Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide and is much colder than regular ice. It can burn skin similar to frostbite. As dry ice melts, it turns into carbon dioxide gas and can be a very serious hazard in a small space that isn't well-ventilated. You should wear thick, insulated gloves when handling it and avoid inhaling carbon dioxide gas.

Keep dry ice out of the reach of children and pets. Never eat or swallow dry ice. For safe disposal, allow leftover dry ice to melt and turn into gas in a well-ventilated area. Dry ice can cause carbon dioxide gas to accumulate and build up pressure. Do not dispose of dry ice in a sewer, garbage disposal, garbage chute, etc.

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).
