FoodSt
Best for: Home style, multicultural frozen meals with no subscription

- Over 100 dishes from 40 plus home cooks across 26 plus cuisines, including Italian, Indian, Malaysian, Mexican and Chinese

- Full ingredient and allergen lists per dish, plus dedicated gluten sensitive, dairy sensitive, halal, vegetarian and vegan collections
- No calorie or macro information published for most meals, so it is hard to track nutrition
- Delivery limited to NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and QLD, with rates varying by postcode unless you pay for membership
- Per meal prices sit above typical prepared meal services, with many single serves in the low $20s
- Meals arrive frozen and several need oven baking rather than a quick microwave, for example lasagne takes 45 minutes and up
