Yes. Every meal in our range is made from real, fresh ingredients sourced from trusted Australian suppliers where possible. We never use freeze-dried or reconstituted components; this means you get the authentic taste, texture, and nutrition of a freshly prepared meal, even when you’re miles away from a kitchen.

We use retort pouch technology, which seals the meal in a heat-resistant pouch and then cooks it under pressure. This process locks in flavour, texture, and nutrients while giving the product a long shelf life without the need for refrigeration until opened.

 Most meals have a shelf life of up to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check the packaging for exact best-before dates.

No refrigeration is required before opening, making them perfect for travel, camping, or long-term storage. Once opened, store any unused portion in a fridge and consume within 1–2 days.

 Meals can be heated in just 3 minutes by placing the unopened pouch in boiling water, using a flameless heater bag, or emptying the contents into a pot or pan. If heating isn’t possible, the meals can also be eaten cold in emergencies.

No, our main meals are served on their own so you can choose your preferred accompaniments. We recommend pairing them with sides like Pumpkin & Potato Mash, Basmati Rice, Udon Noodles, or Coconut Rice Pudding all of which are available separately.

 Most of our range is gluten-free, including popular options like Beef Bolognese, Coconut Ginger Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, Mild Chilli Con Carne, Spicy Mexican Beans, Bean Bolognese, Chickpea Curry, Coconut Rice Pudding, and All Day Breakfast. Always check the product label for confirmation.

We offer a variety of vegan and vegetarian-friendly meals, including Spicy Mexican Beans, Bean Bolognese, Chickpea Curry, and Coconut Rice Pudding. You can find them listed in the “All Products” section of our store.
