+ How long will my meals stay fresh?
We recommend enjoying your meals within 4-5 days of delivery.
+ My UPS delivery came late. Is it safe to eat?
For shipping customers only: Due to our extensive testing with our cold keeping, we believe your meals will still be fresh upon delivery. But before you dig into your meals, please note the Fresh Tag card inside your box. There is a sticker on this card that will be the indicator if your meals are within the correct temperature for consumption.
Please refer to the color key on the card. If you have a green to light orange sticker, please enjoy your meals! If you have a deep orange or red sticker, we advise you to not eat these meals. Please take a photo of your card for our records, and contact us.
+ How do I dispose of the meal and box packaging?
You may put the following into your recycling bin - cardboard box, insulated liner, meal container, sauce ramekins.
Please put the following into your waste bin - Gel from the thawed ice pack, Food Safety Card, labels, and stickers.
+ What should I do with my insulated tote bags and ice packs?
Your delivery will arrive in a reusable bag with gel ice packs to keep the meals cool. Please feel free to leave the bags and ice packs out where you receive your deliveries for our team to pick up at your next delivery. We are partnering with Dispatch Goods to sanitize and reuse these bags and ice packs in future deliveries.
If you do not wish to participate in the reuse program, you can throw away the thawed ice packs and either reuse or donate the bags.
+ What's the best way to reheat my food?
Some of our meals are ready to eat cold and do not require heating. For our other meals, select the heating method of your choosing. All containers are microwave safe, except for the lids and any ramekin sauce cup. Please remove your lid before microwaving your meal.
Each of our meals has heating instructions on the label based on the specifics of that meal, so be sure to give that a look before you start prepping your meal.
+ Where do you source your ingredients?
We have partnered with a network of local chefs that are committed to sourcing from local purveyors and farmers as much as possible, always prioritizing organic, sustainable and healthful ingredients. For example, in the NYC area that means purveyors like Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op, and while not all of their farmers are certified USDA organic (a lengthy and expensive process), they are using organic growing practices to work towards their certification. We also use only non-GMO corn and soy.
Additionally, we look for guidance from the Global Animal Partnership to source our meat, which needs to meet animal welfare standards, and is never raised with antibiotics or added hormones. Pork will never come from CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) and beef will be grass-fed. For seafood, we follow the advice of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, using only their Best Choices or Good Alternatives for wild-caught or sustainably-raised fish.
+ I have a food allergy. Can I still order from Provenance Meals?
All of our meals are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. We can also accommodate many other allergens.
When placing your first order, please use the "allergen notes" on each meal card to make your selections. To ensure your allergen preferences are saved for future orders, please navigate to your dashboard, click 'Manage Upcoming Deliveries', then scroll down to 'Meal Plan Options.' On this page, you can manage your 'Ingredients to Avoid' so any future meals that you see on the menu or are sent with your subscription will be compliant with your needs.
Please note: As with any food production facility, there is a chance of cross-contamination. To mitigate these risks, our food handlers are required to meet the strictest hygiene, sanitation, cleanliness, and food handling requirements to ensure product safety and quality.
+ I'm an Equinox member, how do I order or log in?
Equinox members have a dedicated login and customer service. Please log in to equinox.provenancemeals.com to place an order or manage your account, and reach out to equinox@provenancemeals.com with any questions.
+ How do I place a subscription order?
By opting into a subscription order, your chosen plan will come your way each week with no additional steps required from you, plus you'll receive a 5% discount off your order each week! There is no commitment with a recurring order, and you can pause your order or skip weeks at any time.
While our subscription order offers you the convenience of an auto-generated menu, we highly recommend our customers take a peek at their menu each week to ensure they are receiving the meals that sound best to them. You can customize your meals any time before the order deadline closes on Thursday at 11:59pm. Each week payment for your recurring order will automatically process after that deadline closes.
While the subscription order is great and easy, we recognize that it doesn't work for everyone. If you do not want a subscription order, be sure to turn the toggle off to Save With A Weekly Subscription at checkout. Once the toggle is grayed out, you have successfully opted-out of a subscription order.
+ How do I place a non-subscription order?
Before clicking place your order, take a peek at the toggle to Save With A Weekly Subscription. If you do not want a weekly subscription, you will need to switch the toggle off. When the toggle is greyed out, you have successfully opted out of a recurring order.
+ How do I manage my account?
Log in to your dashboard to select your meals, skip a week, or cancel. You can also update your payment information and delivery address.
+ When is the deadline for choosing my meals?
Our order deadline closes each week on Thursday at 11:59pm. In order to receive meals for next week, you would need to place your order by Thursday at 11:59pm. Any order placed after the deadline will arrive the following week.
+ How many meals can I get per delivery?
Depending on your area, our packaging allows for up to 12 meals per delivery, with a minimum of 4 or 6 meals.
To order more than 12 meals, you can place an additional order. Once you check out with your first order, head back to the Get Started page to continue through the order process just as you did before.
