We recommend that you use a food thermometer to ensure that the temperature zone within the container in which any meat, poultry or seafood Product is located is 40° F or below.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door. Our ingredients are refrigerated and individually packaged and labeled.  The ingredients are placed inside boxes that feature inbuilt insulation specially designed to keep food within the optimal temperature range, with a refrigerant if necessary. The amount of refrigerant is carefully calculated based on your geographic location courier delivery time. When retrieved on the delivery date, the refrigerant be completely thawed. Your order will typically remain cold and fresh for several hours, but depending on the season and temperature in your geographic area at the time of delivery, advance planning by you should be made for proper storage of your ingredients prior to consumption.

In the event of a courier delay, please inspect the contents carefully and email ORDERS@GF-PASTA.COM immediately with any concerns (attaching photos for review). In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery date.
