I’ll pass along yours and @toshdellapenna’s feedback regarding the Mac & Cheeze delisting! Unfortunately, cheesy/creamy flavors were not performing very well, such that continuing to produce them in the US is unsustainable at the moment. You can read more here.
A box of Meal Packs costs the same as a multi-serve pouch did ($27.65 per pouch, $3.95 per meal) and both have 7 400-calorie servings. The amount of product and cost have not changed, only the format.
We understand that the previous pouch format allowed for more flexible portion sizes and compact storage. However, one of the main challenges customers faced with the large pouches was consistency. In the multi-serve pouches, larger pieces of pasta and smaller powder particles naturally separate, which can result in portions that are either heavy on pasta or heavy on sauce. No matter how thoroughly the pouch is mixed, this separation can cause nutritional inaccuracies and an inconsistent taste and texture experience. The single-serving sachets allow you to get the perfect serving each time.
We understand there are trade-offs here, but we hope you can see how this change improves the overall product experience. If you prefer a larger portion, you can always tear open two meal packs instead of one. Alternatively, you can decant any extra Hot & Savory into an airtight container with a light barrier (like opaque plastic) and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
While the amount of packaging has increased with the transition to Meal Packs, and this packaging (as with the multi-serve pouch) is not recyclable, the packaging is lightweight and accounts for less than 3% of the product’s carbon footprint. By prioritizing a long shelf life and reducing food waste, we’re minimizing our overall environmental impact.
The purpose of Huel is to provide a convenient, nutritionally complete meal, which the Meal Packs do!
All that said, if you live in the US and would like to purchase some of the remaining multi-serve pouches, select flavors are still available on our Outlet page here (while supplies last). They are currently on sale at $22 per pouch.
