Yumm: Editorial Notes
In addition to affordable pricing (starting at just $6.99 per serving), Yumm offers 6-7 original recipes every week to choose from. All recipes are developed by a team of nutritionists. The meals balance protein, fats, and carbs in healthy proportions. Yumm only uses the freshest ingredients that beat not only the quality of the supermarket meat and produce, but also the price!Yumm Credibility and Reputation

---|---|
Registered in | Quebec |
CEO | Unknown |
Independent rating |
Yumm was established in 2018 in Quebec. Even though it’s a relatively young company, it has grown rapidly. Currently, Yumm successfully serves thousands of Canadian households all over the country.
Unfortunately, Yumm is not yet rated by the Better Business Bureau, and the company’s Google rating so far is only two stars out of 5. We hope it will be improved soon as many customers find Yumm services and prices attractive and order weekly Yumm meal kits.
Yumm Plans and Meals
The company offers a weekly Yumm Basket for two or four people. The price per meal does not depend on the size of the basket. In each basket, there are three recipes per week. You can select them from the menu which includes 6 or more meals.
Each week, there are recipes that contain meat, fish, or poultry. For example, you can choose from Seared Steaks with Chimichurri and Roasted Potatoes and String Beans, Zesty Maple Chicken, Korean-Style Fish Tacos, and more.
There are one or two vegetarian dishes each week that can be adjusted to become vegan if you skip some ingredients. Many Yumm recipes, such as Roasted Chicken Drumsticks, are kid-friendly, and you can pack the leftovers in a yumbox for kids’ lunch the next day.Yumm Terms and Fine Print

Unfortunately, Yumm does not deliver to an alternative address, such as your workplace or any other secondary pick-up site.

Customer Reviews
As part of this review, we wanted to give our readers a better understanding of what people who have purchased Yumm meal kits in the past thought about the company’s service. To do this, we analyzed hundreds of online reviews of different meal kit companies, including Yumm. We rated each review as positive, negative, or mixed depending on the content of the feedback and the tone of the reviewer, and singled out specific pros and cons people mentioned in their reviews. In addition to this, we recorded all the recipes which reviewers said they enjoyed, and created a list of Yumm’s top 3 best dishes.
When reading and analyzing online reviews, you may notice that the feedback often seems very polarized: some people absolutely love the service or product while others hate it. This occurs because most people who write online reviews choose to leave feedback because they had either an excellent or a terrible experience. People who were happy enough with the company—but not ecstatic—usually don’t feel the need to go online and write a review. This phenomenon can be observed with all products and services, but it’s especially common when it comes to purchases that are carried out online. Because of this, it’s crucial to conduct a deep analysis of online reviews instead of simply looking at the company’s rating on Google, Yelp, or another consumer feedback platform.
Distribution of Yumm reviews compared to industry-wide averages
Most frequently given reasons for liking or disliking the company
During the next stage of our analysis, we wanted to understand why so many people were unhappy with Yumm meal kits and what people who left positive reviews liked about their experience. We compiled all pros and cons of Yumm service reviewers mentioned and discovered that unhappy customers often complained about unresponsive customer support, slow delivery, and inconvenient website. The proportion of people who mentioned these facts was significantly higher than the industry average. For their part, happy customers mentioned tasty food, clear recipes, and responsive customer support. However, the percentage of reviews that included these pros was lower than the industry average. This once again supports our hypothesis that the quality of Yumm meal kits and service is worse than what the company’s competitors offer.Three most popular recipes mentioned in reviews
