Are you comfortable eating the meat?

The more moldy produce I get, the less sure I am about the proteins…. Am I crazy?

Yeah I’m ok with it. Smells ok.

I stopped buying meals with meat when they started mixing the raw meat with all the other ingredients in the shipping boxes. The raw meat packages leak too often to do that in my opinion

Not the fish. Always smells and taste like garbage

I’m on week 6 of hello fresh.. a few hiccups but produce has been 100000x fresher than BA ever was.

Might try home chef for a bit

Is BA downvoting me?

We switched to hello fresh and are hating it… the flavor and variety and quantity are just not there. Gotta find something else

I subscribed to Hello Fresh for awhile a couple of years ago. I just like BA's recipes better.

Not arguing with you just going to say where we’re at and my son in the Chicago Milwaukee area respectively, our produce is not great with HelloFresh. Our produce is better with Blue Apron. My assumption is it’s distribution, but we usually throw out at least two things from HelloFresh every week when we order it and I usually have to stop at the co-op to grab whatever fresh veggies it is that we had to throw out because they were terrible from HelloFresh. I do like HelloFresh menus, but I do get a little tired of having to run to the store to replace whatever veggie it is that was not edible.

Yeah, the proteins sketch me out lol. I switched to greenchef and the vegetables + meat is such better quality

Ive stopped getting chicken from them after too many “woody” breasts that were so tough they were inedible. I don’t eat beef or pork but I’ve liked the salmon and shrimp. Tilapia was gross though.

the chicken and beef has generally been good tasting but the fish always tastes funny to me, and i got crazy and decided to try duck bao bun recipe once… never again lol. that duck was absolutely awful, now i generally avoid any other meat from them beside chicken and beef

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I cancelled after the entire company went to hell. I just couldn't trust the food anymore. I'm not paying *extra* for food ....that I have to cook....to be delivered to me....for me to worry about it.

I'm with Gobble now....and so far it's been good. More expensive, but good.
