• We take great care to use quality, hormone-free meats.
• We do not add preservatives, flavourings or starches to our foodies.
• We freeze our meals as it’s the most natural way to preserve them – we are all for natural goodness in a tub!
• We follow strict processes to ensure consistent quality.
• We are hands-on and taste-test every single batch we cook on a daily basis.

• Our meals are not mass-produced.
