Why do some of the items in my order still come in plastic?

There are some items we still need to pack in plastic - and for very good reason - including:

• small or prepared items prone to crushing, getting lost in a box, or are very juicy (such as brussel sprouts, beans, and cut fruit/vegetable products),
• items that are supplied to us wet/chilled/iced and will drip water through your delivery (broccoli and some lettuce),
• meal kit components (because you don't want soy sauce leaking all over your produce),
• items that could be harmful if not handled properly (like our super hot chillies).

For everything thing else, we do our very best to avoid plastics and plastic foils if within our control to do so.

But if you absolutely want us to avoid using any plastics with your fresh produce, just let us know in your order comments. We'll happily do our best to help you, except for a product which must be packed in plastic for your safety or to maintain the quality of your order.

And don't forget, we're always happy to help with recycling.
