    I received my products as partially defrosted, are they still safe to eat?
    Yes, according to British Official Food Authority, bacteria usually grow in the ‘Danger Zone’ between 8°C and 60°C. Below 8°C, growth is stopped or significantly slowed down. Above 60°C the bacteria start to die. Sometimes products will be slightly or partial defrosted like smoothie or sorbet due to the hot weather. If you receive the products as the condition mentioned above, please place them into your freezer as soon as possible. Do not forget to reheat properly before enjoying it!

    What can I do for poly box and ice gel pack? Are they environmentally friendly?
    The pre-filled ice gel pack is non-toxic and completely food safe. These gel packs are great for picnics or lunchboxes, but if you want to dispose of them, simply cut the corner of the pack and dispose of the contents through the normal domestic waste system. The contents are benign, given the dilution of the polymer and purification of the water they are not at all harmful to the environment. The outer film is totally recyclable as LDPE 4.

    In terms of the poly box, 
     our Poly boxes are made from expanded polystyrene which is fully recyclable. In its moulded form it is 98% air and 2% styrene. Poly boxes can be used with or without a carton, are very light and offer unbeatable insulation qualities at their price level. They are non-toxic and all are made in the UK in our own plants.

    For more information on the environment and the recycling of Expanded Polystyrene have a look at the British Plastics Federation website.
