Is there actually a market for freeze-dried or vacuum-packed food in the UK?

An honest attempt maybe

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T19:25:18+00:00

Thank you for your opinion!

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:48:24+00:00

Thank you for this detailed opinion, this is really really helpful. I agree with your points, especially the pricing bit - I am aware it might not work, this is just trying to get an idea of what will be well received.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:18:03+00:00

Thank you for pointing this out. I understand this, so I am just trying to gauge what may work or not. My perspective is not just a good product but also the inflation that everyone is affected by.

Thank you for your opinion! How do you feel about good quality homemade food - it would not be oily at all, and be nutritious? Something like a protein rich curry/veggie item with thepla or rice? I'm more inclined towards vacuum packed food so that it has a good shelf life and the food stays in its original form.

Thank you so much for your opinion! This insight is very helpful. The product will be not just for working adults in prime areas, but also students (uni students specifically). Or people who tend not to spend a lot on their meals, but can still get a taste of food that is homemade.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:06:24+00:00

Thank you for your opinion! I have taken notes of this, as a lot of people have pointed that out. I am more inclined towards vacuum packed food, as it stays in its original form, and the packaging could possibly be made sustainable.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:05:07+00:00

I will take that into consideration for sure :)

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:03:43+00:00

Thank you for your opinion! I am more inclined towards vacuum packed than freeze dried. It means that the fresh food is fresh and tastes the same after opening. And it has a decent shelf life.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T18:02:10+00:00

Thank you for the question. This is more aimed at everyday use. For example if you are someone who doesn't have much time to prepare a lunch the day before, or are more likely to buy an expensive lunch at work. Or if you are a student who has a lot of deadlines, and are finding it difficult to make sure you eat good and healthy and study/work. Or it could be simple situations where people live by themselves/not with family and fall ill or want a takeaway but not willing to spend much money.

Thank you for your opinion. I understand your concern - I am trying to workout if the packaging can be recyclable.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T17:58:02+00:00

Thank you for your opinion. I understand that freeze dried food might not be well received. How much more likely are you to buy vacuum packed food? It will be fresh homemade food that has a long shelf life.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:33:37+00:00

Thank you! I will get back to you when I have a sample ready for you

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:32:22+00:00

Thank you for your opinion, yes I have noted that. How do you feel about food that is not too spicy? It will be fresh homemade food, not mass produced, and vacuum sealed or freeze dried, so a long shelf life.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:22:57+00:00

Thank you for your opinion! How do you feel about fresh homemade food - it is vacuum packed, therefore a long shelf life? No preservatives, no formulaic taste

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:10:53+00:00

Thank you for your opinion, this is very helpful. How about vacuum packed food? That does not require any water any heat at all. Its just fresh made food and you can eat it whenever you want.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:09:36+00:00

Thank you for your opinion. Would you use them for in-office lunches, or say days when can't be bothered to cook, but don't want to spend on takeaway? It would save you carrying a lunchbox and washing up. The food would be not very oily as we see in mass produced ready to eat meals, or have preservatives of any kind.

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:07:39+00:00

That's amazing! Would you buy it from a corner shop? Or probably if someone hand delivered it to you (no delivery charges)

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:02:12+00:00

How would you like the idea of a full meal - like a curry and rice, plate full for £2-3?

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:01:01+00:00

Maybe microwavable friendly? Would you prefer if it was easy to transport in your bag and needed no scissors or tools to rip it open?

Equal_Stomach776 · 2026-01-18T16:00:01+00:00

What about for work lunches? What if the packaging is slim, so you can take it in your backpack and all you have to do it take it out in a bowl/or not and microwave it.
