Frequently asked questions about frozen ready meals

What are frozen ready to eat meals?

Frozen ready meals are pre-prepared dishes that are flash frozen after cooking. This freezing process helps extend shelf life and allows the meals to be stored for longer periods without added preservatives. Factor takes a different approach by offering an alternative to conventional frozen ready meals.
Are Factor meals frozen dishes?

No. Factor’s ready to eat meals are not frozen. Each dish is freshly cooked, then chilled and delivered to you in temperature-controlled cold boxes. This process helps maintain flavour and texture, and the meals are designed to be enjoyed fresh rather than stored in the freezer for long periods.

Can I freeze Factor meals if I want to keep them for longer?
Yes, you can freeze Factor meals, but for the best taste and texture, we recommend storing them in the fridge and enjoying them as soon as possible. Most meals stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Exact use-by dates and storage guidance are clearly shown on the packaging. If you do decide to freeze your ready meals, make sure you do so before the use-by date.
What distinguishes Factor’s dishes from traditional frozen ready meals?
Traditional frozen meals are usually frozen shortly after cooking to extend shelf life. Factor’s ready meals are freshly prepared and delivered chilled in temperature-controlled bento boxes instead. This approach helps preserve natural texture, flavour and overall quality, without relying on freezing.
How long do Factor meals keep?

Ready meals from Factor can be stored in the fridge for several days. Each meal includes a clearly labelled use-by date, so you know exactly how long it will stay fresh.

Are Factor meals more wholesome than frozen foods?
Factor meals are not automatically healthier or less healthy than frozen foods. Nutritional value depends on the ingredients used and how the meals are prepared. At Factor, dishes are designed to be nutritious, with at least 110 g of vegetables per meal. We also aim for a balanced mix of fats and complex carbohydrates.
How are the meals delivered?
When you order ready meals from Factor, they’re delivered to your door in chilled, insulated containers. Factor uses a continuous chilled supply chain to keep meals fresh, so they arrive chilled and never frozen.
How do I prepare Factor’s ready meals?

Factor's ready to eat meals can be heated in either the microwave or the oven. Microwave preparation usually takes around four minutes, while oven heating takes about 20 minutes. Exact times vary depending on the dish, and full preparation instructions are provided on the packaging.
