Though extremely rare, soups can go bad if there's a problem with shipping. Your soup is packaged to stay fresh generally within 2-3 days of transit. If for any reason, your shipment was delayed and your soup arrives outside our freshness window, please make note of the below freshness test.

​

• Visually inspect the soup: Look at your soup to visually inspect it. It should appear in its original color without any signs of mold. Even if you notice some coagulated fat in the soup before you heat it, it should not appear cloudy (Beef soup naturally has coagulated fat when cooled, refrigerated or frozen). In addition, there should be no sediment in it.

• Smell the soup: When you smell your soup, it should give off a pleasant aroma. If your soup smells sour or unpleasant, then it is likely spoiled and should be discarded. If your soup smells rancid or sour, then you should never taste it to check further. Tasting food that is spoiled may make you sick.
