What about sodium or salt?
Top Chef Meals prepares their food with the highest quality ingredients with no preservatives added. Please know that some foods are naturally higher in sodium than others and they use salt very sparingly in their kitchen. They believe that it is much easier for you to add salt, to your taste, at the dinner table, than it is to remove salt if you are trying to watch your sodium intake.
Are the ingredients organic?
All their ingredients are always locally sourced whenever possible and carefully selected from responsible providers. They support best beef, pork, chicken, and seafood practices to make sure their product has no antibiotics or hormones. Their produce is delivered by "Farm Fresh New York," which sources from over 50 different local farmers in New York and New Jersey. So while they don’t exclusively source organic, their chefs inspect all of their produce for the very best fresh and seasonal product.
Can I place an order and have it shipped to someone else?
Absolutely. Many of their customers throughout the country purchase meals and have them shipped to friends and family members in their shipping area. When you place your order, you can enter a separate shipping address from the billing address you supply. Shipping Address: will be the address you want them to send the package to. Billing Address: reflects your name, address and credit card information.
How should I dispose of the packaging?
Their insulation is made from recycled denim which can be reused in numerous ways around the house. All of their cardboard can be recycled and their plastic can be recycled at select facilities that process plastic bags. Their gelpacks are drain safe and the wrapping is also recycable at select facilties that process plastic bags. Dry ice will naturally sublimate, which is the process of dry ice changing from a solid state to gas state without becoming a liquid.
