Unsafe packaging and temperature control
My husband and I tried out Marley Spoon, we've subscribed for about 2 months or so now. Everything was great for our first two months' boxes, but this month alone has been an absolute nightmare.
Two weeks ago, my package was delayed by a day and the food showed up smelling awful and the ice pack (ONE!) completely melted. I checked the temp of the meats with my instant read thermometer and they temped at 66 degrees F. Today, my box showed up a day late, wasn’t taped well across the top, and BOTH ice packs were melted and one had a hole in it, so the ice pack goop got all over my food, which you can see in the first photo. The meat temped at 68 degrees F today!
Their notification email says that they package their food so well, that it should survive a few days delay, but it actually can't even survive one day of delay. If you subscribe, please please make sure to temp the meat to make sure it's being kept at a safe temperature.
