4.8 Deliveries
 
You are responsible for inspecting all Products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery. In addition, you are solely responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive. You should always inspect your delivery to confirm that the meal ingredients arrive in a cool, refrigerated condition. To maintain the quality and integrity of the Products, we recommend that you immediately refrigerate all perishable Products upon delivery and follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions on refrigeration and food safety, which can be found here. We recommend that you follow the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling, which can be found here. Failure to follow safe food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk of foodborne illness. In addition, pregnant women, young children, the elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems should follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recommendations on food consumption for at-risk groups, which can be found here. We further recommend that as part of preparing the Momma Kit, you wash the produce thoroughly as the first step in preparing the recipe.
 
Our meal ingredients are packaged with insulated liners and cold packs. As such, the package 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 meal ingredients prior to consumption. In certain areas, you may be able to provide additional delivery instructions when setting up your Momma Gourmet account, such as requesting that your delivery be left with a doorman or neighbor. To maintain the quality of food products, we strongly recommend that you immediately refrigerate all perishable items upon delivery.

 

If there is inclement weather or unforeseen delivery complications, it may be necessary to make adjustments to our delivery schedule, which may cause us to suspend chosen delivery dates and times. If there will be a significant delay, a customer service representative may call or e-mail you to let you know the status of your delivery time. We will deliver your order as quickly as possible when the conditions permit. If your designated delivery location or day is inaccessible, we will contact you to determine the best alternate location and/or date.
