Questions about the free plan
Does it cost anything?
No. The plan is free and there's nothing to buy. The Meal Food doesn't sell food, produce boxes or subscriptions. The website may show ads to help cover its costs.
How do you use my information?
Only to prepare and email your plan and to reply to follow-up questions. We don't sell or share it, add you to a mailing list or use it for advertising. Requests are deleted within 12 months, or sooner if you ask. See our Privacy Policy.
Will the plan be exact for my area?
Your region helps us choose sensible recipes, but seasonal availability varies even within a region. Treat the shopping list as a guide and swap in whatever looks best where you shop.
Can you work around allergies?
We'll avoid recipes that contain allergens you list, but we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free. Always read ingredient labels.
