Frequently Asked Questions

Thrive Life Basics

Why Thrive Life freeze dried?
Because it’s simple! Freeze drying takes away all the busy work and leaves you with delicious, healthy, and easy food. Everything is pre-cleaned, pre-chopped, and ready to go to save you hours of slaving away in the kitchen. Did we mention it stays fresh significantly longer than traditional produce so you can cut the waste and your food budget? To learn more, click here.

Where does Thrive Life’s food come from?
We work hard to find the best tasting food on the planet! We only work with suppliers who meet our high standards of food quality and taste, and we don’t source from countries with controversial farming practices.

Is Thrive Life’s facility USDA and FDA approved?
Our production facility is a site to behold! We are a globally recognized Safe Quality Foods (SQF) facility. Food quality and safety is at the top of our priority list, and we conform to a rigorous safety and auditing standard. We are certified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which means our facility and products are frequently monitored by these agencies. Our facility is also certified Gluten Free and Organic.

What is Nutrilock?
Our Nutrilock certified products go through an over 40-step, proprietary process. These steps start at the farm, ensuring no genetically modified seeds or crops are used. Our foods are always allowed to grow until fully ripened, leaving the maximum amount of time needed for flavor and nutrition development. From there, Nutrilock products are flash frozen within hours and freeze dried in our world class freeze drying facility. Products must then pass tests with our R&D, Quality Assurance, and Culinary teams before they’re approved for consumption. To learn more about Nutrilock, click here.

Is Thrive Life’s food organic?
Our products are conventionally grown but follow a strict growing, production and quality standard. Products that are Nutrilock certified meet many of the qualifications of organic like avoiding GMOs, artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Our produce is thoroughly washed to remove fertilizers and pesticides and is often higher in nutrient content than organic products due to our Nutrilock growing and freeze dry practices.

Are Thrive Life’s foods gluten free?
Many of our products are gluten free as a result of being a single whole food, like Strawberries, Chopped Chicken, or Onion Slices. All gluten-free products are packaged in separate gluten-free rooms to avoid cross-contamination. We are a certified gluten-free facility, and all products that are certified gluten-free have a gluten-free symbol on the product label and online product page.

Can families with allergies and special dietary needs eat Thrive Life’s food?
Yes, and it’s easy to find products your family will love! On our site, you can search for products by allergy or diet. We also suggest reading all product labels before purchasing. Please note that our allergen-free foods are processed in the same facility as foods that contain gluten, dairy, soy, coconuts, and other food allergens. Our machinery, tools, tables, and work spaces are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before each new production run. However, in the interest of the safety of those who have serious food sensitivities, Thrive Life cannot guarantee that trace amounts of allergens will not be present.

How long does your freeze dried food last?
With our innovative freeze drying process, we remove almost all water and lock in nutrients, which means Thrive foods will stay fresh for a very long time! Shelf life varies depending on storage conditions. Most of our canned products last one year after opening and 25 years before opening—and we do it without adding preservatives! To learn more about shelf life, click here.

What’s the best way to cook your food?
Cooking with Thrive Life is easy! To start, purchase one of our Simple Plate meal for a step-by-step guide to whipping up chef-approved recipes. You can also Thrive-alize your own family favorites by swapping out store-bought items for Thrive Life products. Just follow the refresh instructions found on the product label. Because most of our products are pre-washed, pre-sliced, pre-cooked, they cut down your prep and cook time dramatically, so you might want to be thinking of what to do with the extra time you’ll have.
