Questions, answered
Do they really not need a fridge?
No fridge, no freezer. Each meal is cooked and sealed in its own tray, and that heat treatment is what preserves it, so it keeps for up to 12 months at room temperature.
How long does the Italian beef stew take to cook?
Microwave it for 1 min 30 sec at 900W or 2 mins at 750W, straight from the box. Prefer the oven? 10 mins at 160°C. Remove the outer sleeve and pierce the film lid first.
How much protein is in the Italian beef stew?
27g per 280g meal, for 255 kcal.
What's in it?
Tomato pulp (45%), beef (31%), potatoes (20%), onion, sunflower oil and basil. No artificial colours or preservatives.

Yes. The Italian beef stew is gluten free, and there are no allergens in this recipe.
