“We’re excited about our launch in Canada and about the opportunity to help busy Canadians eliminate the planning, shopping, and prepping so they can focus on the best, most enjoyable, and rewarding aspects of making a home cooked meal,” said Ian Brooks, Managing Director, HelloFresh Canada. “Opening our delivery zone outside of the Greater Toronto Area immediately upon our launch in Canada was important to us. We want to make sure that everyone regardless of their region can have access to high-quality, fresh meal options.”
Uniquely, HelloFresh delivers as far north as North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, and everywhere south. The service is straightforward – customers visit HelloFresh.ca to choose their subscription option and select their meals for the upcoming week.

“The convenience of the boxes, along with the nutritious and delicious contents, are a step in the right direction to help redefine dinnertime for families,” said Irene Ngo, the Head of Culinary at HelloFresh in Canada, who personally oversees the development of each recipe. “Not only are we saving people time, we are also letting them take back control of dinner and eliminate stress without sacrificing the convenience they crave.”
