Frequently asked questions

Here at Locaal, we want to nourish and nurture a love of local products among people of Quebec.

We currently offer a subscription-free formula for ready-to-savour meals. You can feel free to order whenever you like

At least two vegetarian or vegan meals are included in our menu each week. And they are simply delicious!

Our meals can be heated in both a microwave oven and a conventional oven.

Microwave oven: remove packaging, place meal in microwave oven (with the film*) and heat for two minutes.

Conventional oven: preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and remove the meal's packaging. Place the meal container in the oven (with the film*) and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

*When heated, the film swells to conserve heat, without drying the food. The film has been designed to withstand heat and is safe to use.

Our meal containers contain one 400-gram portion; which is an ideal and satisfying serving size for an adult.

Since the meals are vacuum sealed, they will keep for up to 6 days in the refrigerator! You can also freeze them (before the best before date) for up to 6 months.
