Overall, Chefs Plate and Goodfood offer comparable meal options in terms of a variety of meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. The standard recipes are also comparable in terms of caloric intake. Both take good care of those customers who have food allergies by offering a list of allergens with recipes. Although, neither can guarantee there isn’t any cross-contamination where the meal kits are assembled, so they aren’t suitable if you or a loved one has serious allergies. 

Here are some sample recipes for each of the companies, which could help you decide on Goodfood vs Chefs Plate:

Chefs Plate pricing and meal plans are different from Goodfood’s because you will pay the same for any meal you choose, regardless of the ingredients. Chefs Plate does let you pick from three preferences: Meat and Vegetables, Vegetarian, or Family Friendly — which means these types of recipes will show up first each week, but you’re still able to choose from any of the available meals. Here are the prices per serving on the different weekly plans with Chefs Plate:

Packaging: Environmentally Friendly or Not?

Most customers worry about the effect that packaging has on the environment. In fact, meal kits create less waste and emissions than driving to the supermarket and buying ingredients for dinner there. Also, meal kit companies tend to make an effort to minimize their negative impact on the environment so you’ll find lots of reusable or recyclable packaging options. Let’s look at packaging when it comes to Chefs Plate vs Goodfood. 

You’ll be pleased to know that both of these brands value the environment and take great care when it comes to their packaging. When it comes to Chefs Plate, the boxes are 100% recyclable so you can add them to your regular household recycling. The kit bags and cool pouches are both made from compostable materials, you just need to remove the sticker from the bag and the zipper from the pouch before composting them or adding them to your green bin.

When it comes to Goodfood, they also do a great job when it comes to packaging and even have an added extra: reusable boxes. The standard cardboard boxes, insulation liners, bags, and bottles are all made of recycled materials and are also entirely recyclable (depending on your location). Goodfood also has a Reusable Box Program, which lets you have your meal kits delivered inside reusable boxes that you hand back to the driver each time or leave out wherever your order gets dropped off. There is just a $50 deposit and this is returned if you opt out of the scheme and return to cardboard boxes. 

Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are a great way to get to know a company better before trying them out. They may help you determine which is right for you based on you and your family’s needs. For example, one company might score better on food quality, while another might have more favourable reviews about the delivery service. You probably already have an idea of what’s important to you. Let’s take a look at what customers say about Chefs Plate vs Goodfood.

Google Reviews

Chefs Plate gets 3.8 out of 5 stars on Google. Here, many customers rave about how tasty the meals are and easy to cook (plus, they include photos of meals they’ve cooked). Most say the freshness and quality of the food is one of their favourite aspects, whereas some customers said they’d had the opposite experience and received vegetables that were wilted or had gone rotten.

Goodfood gets 2.7 out of 5 stars on Google. Here, some customers complained that one item or more were missing from deliveries. Many customers said they like the Goodfood smoothies. 

As with all customer reviews, it’s important to remember that people are most likely to write a review when they’re unhappy or extremely happy. It seems that with these companies (and most meal kits), delivery often comes down to the region where people live. For this reason, we’d suggest you try a couple of meal kit companies out to see what works best for your area and so you can try the meals out yourself.
