How long do Viva meals stay fresh?

· By Colm Farrington
The short answer

Each meal has a use-by date on the label. To keep everything as fresh as possible, we currently deliver twice per week on Sundays and Wednesdays. Most customers either eat their meals within around 3 days of delivery or freeze some meals for later in the week. All meals freeze very well, except for dishes containing eggs.

Use-by dates are set per meal based on the ingredients. Most last 4–6 days refrigerated. If a date is approaching and you can’t eat it, most meals freeze well — defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Do Viva meals contain preservatives or artificial additives?

No. We're all about real foods and don't use artificial preservatives in any meal. The meals stay fresh because they're cooked recently and delivered chilled - they're not engineered for a long shelf life. Natural sweetness comes from fruit and vegetables, never refined sugar substitutes. Full ingredient lists are shown for every meal before you order.

Are Viva meals high in protein?

Yes. Protein is a cornerstone of how we build meals - it supports muscle, keeps you satisfied between meals, and slows the spike in blood sugar. Most Viva meals provide 25-40g of protein per serving, sourced from a mix of lean meats, eggs, pulses, and plant proteins. You can see the protein content of every meal in our menu before you order.

What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

Set your dietary preferences in your account - vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, plus any specific allergens to avoid - and we'll only show you meals that match. Every meal has full ingredient and allergen information visible before you order. If you have a serious allergy, please contact us before signing up so we can talk through whether Viva works for you - our kitchen handles common allergens, and we'd rather have an honest conversation up front than risk a mistake.
