Suggestion: Official Huel Airtight & Light-Proof Storage Container

First of all, I would like to thank the Huel team for creating such a nutritious meal that is gentle on my stomach, especially as someone dealing with atrophic gastritis.

​However, I have a concern regarding storage. The current Huel bags have a minor drawback where the zipper seal doesn’t always close easily. Because of this, I transfer the powder to a separate airtight container every time I open a new bag.

​The problem is that it is hard to find a commercial container that offers 100% light protection. Currently, I have to wrap my containers in aluminum tape to block light and use magnets to attach silica gel packets to the lid. To be honest, this process is quite inconvenient.

​Reading through the forum and Reddit, I’ve noticed many other users also transfer their Huel to separate containers. Since Huel is sensitive to both moisture and light, I believe a dedicated storage solution would be beneficial.

​While continuing to sell Huel in bags to keep costs down is the right approach, could Huel consider developing and selling an official storage container? Ideally, it would be fully opaque (light-proof) from all angles, airtight, and designed with a specific slot or compartment for desiccant (silica gel) packs.

​I believe offering a standardized container would be much better for quality control than having “Hueligans” find their own inconsistent solutions.

​Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hey there,

First of all, so glad to hear that Huel has been helpful with your gastritis!! Thanks for reaching out to us with some feedback :heart:

I totally hear you that opaque, airtight containers can be hard to find. I’m sorry that you’ve had to come up with such an elaborate solution! I think a Huel powder container is a great idea, and I’ve passed it along.

In the meantime, I wonder if you might have more luck sourcing containers by material, such as stainless steel or silicone? I think you might also have luck looking up “food grade plastic bucket” or “protein powder container” specifically. You just want something airtight, food safe, and BPA-free.

Best of luck with it!!
