Does the food arrive frozen to my home?
All Alta Foods products are dispatched from our H.Q and are couriered within insulated cool boxes to keep them at the lowest temperature possible to ensure that they are delivered frozen. The internal temperature of the packaging is designed to be kept below 8°C which is below the danger zone for bacterial growth!

Health and safety is of the utmost importance to us!

 

Can you reheat the meal once you have cooked it?
We strongly recommend no. Once you have heated up your Alta Foods pouch, it is best advised to finish it. Our pouches are already pre-cooked and ready to heat up so they should not be reheated again.

Can I cancel my order or refund it?
Unless there's something wrong with the item, unfortunately we can't offer a refund for any perishable items you change your mind about after your delivery.
When you shop online you have the right to a “cooling-off” period of 14 calendar days in the EU (Consumer Contacts Regulations) and 30 days in the UK (Consumer Rights Act 2015) whereby you can withdraw from the contract and return your purchases to the seller.  Perishable goods are not covered by these cooling-off periods, as they might not reasonably last as long as the stipulated 14-day or 30-day thresholds.
We are happy to edit your order and refund you before delivery of your order.
