From Freezer to Fork: The Science Behind GVR PREP’s Freshness Guarantee
At GVR PREP, we understand that freshness isn’t just a preference—it’s a promise. When your meals arrive, they need to be just as delicious, nutritious, and safe as the moment they left our kitchen. That’s why we’ve invested in a delivery system that combines science-backed preservation with nationwide reliability. Here's how our meals go from freezer to fork without missing a beat.
❄️ Step One: Blast Freezing for Lock-In Freshness
Every GVR PREP meal is freshly cooked in our kitchen, then quickly blast-frozen. This rapid freezing method preserves:
- Nutritional value
- Flavor and texture
- Moisture content
Unlike slow freezing, which can lead to ice crystal formation and food degradation, blast freezing locks in the freshness before any damage can occur.
📦 Step Two: Insulated Packaging That Works
Once frozen, meals are carefully packed into custom-designed insulated boxes. These containers are built to withstand long transit times and changing external temperatures.
The insulation material acts as a thermal barrier, ensuring that heat from the outside environment doesn’t reach the meals on the inside—critical for multi-day deliveries across South Africa.
🧊 Step Three: Dry Ice—Nature’s Deep Freeze
Inside every shipment, we include a calculated amount of dry ice (frozen CO₂) to maintain sub-zero temperatures throughout the delivery journey.
Here’s why dry ice is so effective:
- It sublimates (turns from solid to gas) at −78.5°C, much colder than regular ice.
- It doesn’t leave water behind—no soggy packaging or water damage.
- It ensures food stays deeply frozen for up to 72 hours, depending on transit conditions.
Even in rural or high-temperature areas, meals arrive solid and safe to store or eat.
🚚 Step Four: Weekly Nationwide Shipping
To keep everything running like clockwork:
- Orders close Mondays at 14:00
- Meals are packed and shipped every Tuesday
- Deliveries arrive Thursdays or Fridays, depending on your location
This consistent rhythm means you always know when to expect your order—and our team can carefully manage dry ice volumes and logistics to align with the journey.
✅ Our Freshness Guarantee
We stand behind our shipping process 100%. That’s why we offer a Freshness Guarantee:
If your meals arrive defrosted, spoiled, or damaged—we replace them, no questions asked.
We believe that great service includes peace of mind. So if something ever goes wrong, we’ll make it right.
