They Say It’s Healthy. We Say: Read the Label.

Still checking ingredient labels? Same.

You care about what you’re eating. So do we.

But here’s the thing: not every "healthy" meal out there actually delivers on the promise.

Let’s take a closer look at some popular meal delivery options versus what you get with Pete’s Real Food.


The Label Test: Pete’s vs. The Other Guys

Competitor Labels (Factor, Trifecta, etc.):

  • Modified food starch

  • Natural flavors

  • Guar gum

  • Xanthan gum

  • "Vegetable oil blend"

  • Soy lecithin

Pete’s Real Food Labels:

  • Chicken

  • Broccoli

  • Olive oil

  • Garlic

  • Sea salt

That’s it.

No gums. No powders. No flavor enhancers disguised under vague terms. Just ingredients you can recognize and pronounce—without a chemistry degree.


Why It Matters

Highly processed additives can mess with digestion, inflammation, and overall health—the very things you're probably trying to support by eating better in the first place.

When we say "real food," we mean it.

  • No preservatives

  • No industrial oils

  • No shortcuts

Just nutrient-dense, properly sourced, chef-prepared meals—delivered fresh to your door.

And because we vacuum seal every meal, we naturally extend shelf life without adding junk to do it. No fake preservatives needed. Just smart packaging, fresh ingredients, and real flavor.


Real Ingredients. Period.

We’re proud of our labels because they’re… well, kinda boring. And that’s exactly the point.

When you eat Pete’s, you know exactly what’s fueling you. No decoding necessary.
