Depending on the type of product, each provider will have a different strategy for maintaining the freshness of their supply. Typically, you select a delivery date and time that works for you, and each supplier will pack their goods in accordance with their specific quality assurance standards. For example, meat and cold goods will have the proper cooling systems, such as ice packs and packaging, to ensure that they stay safe for the designated amounts of time. If you are unsure about your temperature safety zones, research the delivery and packing standards for your preferred providers.

A food box typically contains a variety of grocery items or pantry staples. The specific products can vary depending on the food box provider and the type of food box, but some common items you may find in a food box include canned goods (such as beans, soups, or vegetables), pasta, rice, sauces, condiments, snacks (such as chips, granola bars, or nuts), baking supplies, beverages (such as tea, coffee, or juice), spices, and fresh produce, meats or dairy products.

The range and assortment of products aims to provide a mix of essentials or specific items that can be used to create meals or snacks according to your preferences and needs. 

Many providers allow customisation, letting you swap ingredients or select meal preferences based on dietary needs. However, some have set box options with limited flexibility.
