Announcing Our Partnership With Misfits Market
We're always looking for ways to make your Blue Apron experience even better. That's why we've partnered with Misfits Market to help fulfill and ship Blue Apron orders nationwide.This partnership allows us to operate more efficiently behind the scenes while continuing to deliver the same quality ingredients, chef-designed recipes, and standards you've come to expect from Blue Apron.Along with this change, you'll notice a few updates designed to give you more flexibility, reduce packaging waste, and help get ingredients to your door even fresher.
What's Changing?
Less Packaging, Less Waste
Starting this summer, ingredients for each recipe will no longer be grouped together in individual recipe bags. Instead, they'll be packed in organized sections within your box, with a cardboard tray to hold smaller items. You'll sort ingredients by recipe before cooking.We've also updated our recipe cards with ingredient checklists, so it's easy to verify you've received every ingredient before you get started.This simple change has a big environmental impact. By eliminating recipe bags, we're reducing Blue Apron's annual carbon footprint by approximately 550 metric tons of CO₂. That’s the equivalent of 12.5 million 16-ounce plastic water bottles, or 39 million plastic grocery bags!There's another benefit, too: produce stays fresher. Plastic bags can trap moisture and ethylene gas, which may speed up spoilage. By removing them, some ingredients may stay fresh even longer, helping to reduce food waste at home.
More Time to Customize Your Orders
In many zip codes, you'll now have more time each week to review your selections, make changes, or skip a delivery before your order is finalized.Cutoff times vary by location, so you may not see a change. You can always view your order cutoff time on your Orders page.
Faster Paths to Your Door
Your order may arrive from a different fulfillment center than before. With our expanded fulfillment network, many orders will spend less time in transit. Our packaging is designed to keep ingredients fresh every step of the way, and shorter transit times help ensure they arrive at their best.
More Menus, More Planning Flexibility
By the end of July, you'll be able to browse and schedule up to six weeks of menus in advance. Plan around travel, lock in your favorite meals, or skip a week, with even more flexibility.
What's Not Changing?
How You Order
Whether you use Subscribe & Save or order à la carte, there are no changes to how you shop Blue Apron. You'll continue to place orders through the same website and app. The same goes for Blue Apron+ members — You’ll still enjoy free shipping on every order.
Our Commitment to Quality
Blue Apron remains committed to sourcing quality ingredients and maintaining the standards our customers expect.You may know Misfits Market through its work reducing food waste by rescuing products that traditional retailers might not sell due to cosmetic imperfections. While we admire and support that mission, it is separate from Blue Apron's ingredient sourcing program.The ingredients in your Blue Apron orders will continue to meet the same quality and sourcing standards you've always relied on.
