Calgary, Alberta

Our food has a shelf life of 4-5 days depending on the item. We’re all about natural, wholesome ingredients so our food has no added preservatives or shelf-life enhancers to preserve them longer. Be sure to look for the best before sticker on your meal’s package.

We don’t recommend freezing them because this takes away from the freshness of our meals, however if you get them home and realize you won’t be able to eat them before the best before date then by all means! And of course, use your judgment as there are some items that can’t be frozen such as our salads and bowls.

Just follow the reheating instructions on the container. Sadly, all microwaves are not created equally so we suggest checking for your desired heat levels before sitting down to eat. Please remove cups inside the meal package prior to heating.

Our meal containers are not oven friendly but if you transfer your meals into an oven safe tray you can use the oven for heating.

Good question! We use lemons and limes as natural preservatives. They help to keep our food fresh and protect it. We suggest removing them before heating but feel free to squeeze the fresh juice across your meal for added flavour.

If you are interested in carrying Made Foods at your retail store, office, café, gym facility or other we’d love to hear from you! We are always on the lookout for new wholesale partners who have a great love for real food and share common values as ours. Learn more about our wholesale program here.

Menu & Nutrition Questions

We use organic when possible and local as much as possible. We work very closely with local farmers to ensure all our meals are made with freshest ingredients possible.

You can find out all the nitty gritty about the nutritional content of our meals by reading the individual meal labels or on our website.

We’re proud of our local partners and vendors. Learn more by visiting our local farmers and local partners pages.

Our menu is seasonal. At the change of every season you will see new dishes appear and some disappear. We do have a few staples that we’re able to source year-round in our climate that we keep. If you have a favorite you’d hate to see leave – let us know!

All our meals are made using fresh, seasonal ingredients with no added preservatives or added GMO's. We source GMO free whenever possible

GA = Gluten Aware

V = Vegetarian

VG = Vegan

DA = Dairy Aware

Our facilities are not completely free from Gluten, Dairy, Nuts, etc. Although we go to extreme lengths to not cross contaminate we cannot claim them to be completely free of these common allergens.

We do! You can build your own meal combinations by selecting your protein, starch and veggies. Learn more here

At this time we do not offer custom meal plans.

You betcha. However your order will only be valid for delivery and not in-store pickup.  

Packaging Questions

We focus on waste prevention and the build up of single use products in landfills. That is why our entrée containers are reusable. You can microwave, enjoy your meal, and then place our entrée containers in the dishwasher to be used again later. Our salad bowls are currently compostable and not reusable. A few of our snack and side containers are also not reusable. Please read the bottom of our containers ensuring proper disposal and recycling occurs. Remove all labels prior to recycling.
