Due to COVID, we are not yet able to start a return and reuse program for our delivery bags.
Our delivery bags are recyclable in Toronto, Peel, Halton, Hamilton but not in Durham. If you'd prefer to not recycle, you are welcome to keep that bag and reuse for grocery shopping or picnics in the future!
Our deli containers and ziploc plastic bags for baked goods are reusable and recyclable. Please help them find their way to your blue bin when you’re done with them!
Vacuum sealed bags cannot be recycled. Please give them a rinse and they are ready for your garbage bin.
We use dry ice to ensure that your food is kept completely frozen from the moment it is packed until it arrives to your home.
Your delivery bag has a warning label about the dry ice on the outside to remind anyone in your household who may pick up the order.
Be Careful - The dry ice will be kept in a plastic wrapper within a manila envelope. Grab the envelope by the corner and do not touch the section that has the ice.
After you unpack your order, you can leave the dry ice in your freezer, or sink to sublimate.
Please make sure to keep the dry out the reach of children.

No, we took care of all the shopping, cleaning, prepping & cooking for you! We will be sending you ready-made recipes you only need to heat and serve. The instructions are on the package label and on our website.
There are heating instructions on each package. What’s listed on the label is intended for the best and tastiest results but you can modify how it’s heated if you prefer. For meat proteins, do ensure that your food reaches the internal temperature listed on your package.
For meat proteins, we have listed the ideal food-safe temperature recommendation. We suggest using a kitchen thermometer to make sure your food is ready to enjoy. All other products have heat or thaw instructions listed.
To heat your foods, at most, you’ll need an oven, a saucepan or an oven-safe dish or a microwave if that’s your preference. We’re trying to make life easier. Wearing a chef’s hat is really up to you and more of a fashion choice once your delivery arrives.
The Real Food Kitchen is peanut, tree nut, sesame and shellfish-free! If those are your only allergies, enjoy any one of our ready-made foods!
If you have other serious allergies, please refer to the online ingredient list on our product pagesand listed on each label when your food arrives.
With the exception of peanuts, tree nuts, sesame & shellfish, we make our food in a facility that contains other major allergens like eggs, milk, gluten & more. We follow strict HACCP-aligned protocols to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and to keep our food safe.
Please note, product information may change so always refer to your package label for accurate ingredient & nutritional information.
If you ever have any questions about our ingredient lists or how we can accommodate your allergies or dietary restrictions, please reach out at hello@realfoodkitchen.ca and we'd be happy to help!
Our nutritional information and ingredient lists can be found online on each product page and on the package of every dish we make - we’re proud of what we put in our food, and even prouder of what we leave out!
If not listed on your package with a longer timeframe, we recommend you eat your food within 48 hours after thawing. Some products have a longer shelf life after thawing which will be listed on the package. These labels can also be found on the product page of each recipe.
Though we serve halal beef and chicken in child cares, we do not yet have halal certified beef and chicken recipes as part of this home delivery program. If there are any other ingredients that are not to be eaten, please review the ingredient list on each product page.
