Shelf life is currently at 6 months, but once the lab results return, which are being done by the Western Cape Department of Agriculture, Food Science department in partnership with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, we anticipate a minimum 12 month shelf-life.

Although we can’t share the detailed ingredients list, due to Intellectual Property and the fact that a lot of time and money has been invested in the development.
We can however say that they are all soya based products, which contain the following base ingredients:  Pasta, rice, flavourings, stock powders, herbs, spices, dehydrated veggies, pulses and beans. We do not use mushrooms and nuts – however these are present in our factory.

All the ingredients we source are Halaal as well as vegetarian, keeping in mind we do use stock and soup powders.

Yes, they are available on request and is also printed on package label.

All our Food Socks are prepared in the same manner – they require a pot, water and a source of heat.  Empty the entire contents in a pot, add water as indicated on the packaging and cook until ready.  Some products use beans, these are packaged separately in the Food Sock, and will require boiling first to soften as they take a little longer to prepare.  Some people, if in a hurry, exclude the beans from the pot.

Absolutely anyone!!
The poor, the wealthy, the elderly, students, Government, campers, disabled, the single, the married, … the list goes on!

There definitely will be new flavours, in fact, we are always working on new exciting flavours!  We would love to hear your suggestions – drop us a message in the Contact Us Form. One of them is a traditional sweet product

We use biodegradable plastic sleeves, made for us by Outeniqua Plastics

Sorry, we are unable to provide that for now … but we recommend ordering the half size packs at a minimal cost it you would like a “trial run”.

Not only can you, but we would like to encourage you to do so!  Whether it be a creche, one of your employees, or just a family in need, please consider helping them out – we can either have a reseller arrange delivery, or it could be couriered from our Factory.

It is PERFECT for disaster relief.  They are easily distributed, easily stored for quick access at times of need and easy to prepare with minimal resources at the victims disposal.  Not to mention minimal cost as opposed to traditional food parcels.

Most definitely.  At such a low cost, a family of 4 can have a fantastic meal every day for that week.  What better way to support your congregants in need.

What a wonderful idea!  The Food Sock meals can also be packed in larger packaging, ideal for feeding centers and creches etc.  Not only can your company adopt, but we will provide at wholesale prices and include the company logo on the packaging.

It can be done, but we recommend it rather be prepared on a stove.  The meal takes about 20 minutes to cook and should be stirred during this time to prevent burning and ensure even absorption of the water.
