How is it possible that the meals require no refrigeration?
All fresh unprocessed food contains good and bad bacteria as well as enzymes that cause chemical reactions within the food. During home cooking most, but not all of these are killed off which is why home cooked food will eventually spoil. Refrigeration will slow the growth of these surviving bugs because they grow slowly at low temperatures. The HealthyOption Meals are fully cooked in the pouch at such a high temperature and pressure that all microorganisms are killed. Essentially the meals are commercially sterilised. The high quality barrier pouch protects the food from outside bugs therefore no refrigeration is required.
