The Packaging
Besides classic delivery option, Diet-to-Go has Partner-In-Health Program as well! The company made a deal with local health clubs and fitness facilities so you can pick up your meals there if it’s more affordable and more accessible for you! FedEx is their only delivery service, and the shipping cost may vary depending on the area (enter your zip code to find out).
BistroMD uses only 100% recycled boxes with biodegradable, compostable liner for insulation! The packaging is made to maintain temperature during transportation, and to absorb extra condensation from the dry ice! In situations when after unpacking there isn’t any dry ice left, you should touch the food, and if it’s still cold then it’s ok! Meals come in plastic trays which are BPA free and microwavable!
