  • About our dishes

  • Where do you source your ingredients from?

    We source our ingredients from a small group of NZ producers and partners. We use high welfare meat and free range eggs to ensure quality in every dish. All of our chicken, lamb and beef is certified halal. While all our meat is certified halal, it's important to note that we do not maintain separate production or storage areas or use separate utensils.

    Tell us a bit more about FED. dishes?

    Our FED Chef Beckie is the creative mind behind our dishes. She and her team hand make every dish in small batches from scratch.

    Beckie takes care to ensure that all of the meals are nutritionally balanced to support a healthy lifestyle so you can feel good about eating them. You can find all nutritional info on our website and at the back of our dishes.

    Are any of the dishes allergen free?

    Cooking up goodness for every preference and dietary requirement is something we know is really important to our customers.

    Please note that the dishes are prepared in a kitchen that sometimes contains nuts, dairy and wheat so we cannot guarantee any of our dishes will be completely free from traces of key allergens.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to message us over at hello@getfed.co.nz.

    Where can I find the nutritional information for my meals?

    You can find all the nutritional information you need right here on our website. Once you're on our menu page, simply click on the image of the dish you're interested in and head to the on the 'Nutrition' tab to see the full nutritional breakdown.

    Do I have to do any cooking?

    None whatsoever. Your meals will arrive completely prepared, so all you have to do is reheat them in the oven or microwave, eat and enjoy. Even eat them out of the tray so you don't have to do dishes!

    How do I dispose of my packaging?

    Inside the boxes is a layer of insulation called Woolcool, a sustainable and highly effective natural insulation material that is made out of sheep’s wool. The best part about Woolcool is its reusable, so if you would like to send your wool cool and ice packs back to us please pop us an email on hello@getfed.co.nz and we will send you a pre-paid courier label.

    You can recycle the cardboard boxes along with your usual recycling.

  • Our packaging

  • Is your packaging recyclable?

    Yes! Packaging has been a really important consideration for us and we pride ourselves on using eco-friendly materials. Your PET trays can be recycled - just put it out with your kerbside recycling.

    .

    See the following for specific recycling information.

    Prepared Meal Trays and Sleeves: The trays are made from recyclable PET.

    You can put these in your kerbside or public recycling and it will be collected by your local recycler.

    Cardboard boxes: These can be broken down and put into your household recycling

    Gel Packs: Reusable and recyclable. The packs are water-soluble, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. If you’d like to recycle, clip the corner, discard the gel in the bin, and recycle the plastic pouch in the soft plastics recycling at your local supermarket.

    Small Pottles: The small clear containers used for condiments and herbs are made from plants, not oil and are certified commercially compostable – so pop them in a green bin NOT in the recycling.

    Woolcool insulation: Inside the boxes is a layer of insulation called Woolcool, a sustainable and highly effective natural insulation material that is made out of sheep’s wool.
