FAQ
Are your products Dairy-free?
Some, but not all of them are Dairy-free. Check the product packaging, as all of our
allergens are properly labeled on the package.
Are your products Gluten-free?
While we are not Gluten-free certified, the following items are made with gluten-free ingredients:
Are your bowls made in a Gluten-free facility?
The facility where our bowls are made does on occasion produce gluten-containing items.
There are allergen-specific changeover protocols in place to reduce the possibility of
cross-contamination to as low as possible.
Do your products contain any nuts or tree nuts?
Other than our Coconut Shrimp, our product contains no nuts or tree nuts & are produced
in a nut-free facility. Although not scientifically classified as a “tree nut”, and allergies are rare,
the FDA does require labeling of food with coconut.
Is your packaging recyclable?
Yes! We source paperboard for our outer carton from an approved FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) supplier that utilizes 100% virgin fibers of Radiata Pine and Eucalyptus. The paper bowl inside is also made from renewable and sustainable materials and is 90% biodegradable.
Within the manufacturing process the supplier complies with FDA guidelines and uses paperboard that meets CFR regulations:
- 21 CFR § 176.170 Components of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
- 21 CFR § 176.180 Components of paper and paperboard in contact with dry foods.
You may find a plastic inner bowl instead of paper. This is due to ongoing supply chain issues in the CPG industry and is only temporary. However, these CPET bowls are still fully recyclable.
Why do I sometimes get paper bowls and other times get plastic bowls?
Scott & Jon’s made the change to using all paper bowls to be more environmentally friendly. However, with recent supply chain issues, we have had to go back to using plastic bowls with some of our products to keep our delicious meals on shelf. However, these CPET bowls are still fully recyclable, and we are making every effort to secure paper bowls for all our products moving forward. Please be patient with us!
How do I cook your bowls if I don't have a microwave?
Our entrees are designed for a microwave. If a microwave is unavailable we suggest the follow methods:
STOVETOP cooking instructions for 8oz bowls:

Did you change your Cilantro Lime Shrimp recipe?
Yes, we did make a change to increase flavor and overall goodness with some heart-healthy,
polyunsaturated fat. This increased calories slightly, but still well below our goal of under
300 calories while maintaining good macros.
Why are the shrimp gray?
Our shrimp bowls are intentionally prepared with frozen raw shrimp. This is a feature
that differentiates us from other prepared frozen meals. Our shrimp are only cooked
once in your microwave, which gives them a fresher taste. Raw shrimp are typically
a translucent-greyish color, which is perfectly normal. They will turn a white/pinkish
color when properly cooked.
How many shrimp are supposed to be in each bowl?
4-6 shrimp are typically found in each bowl. Our ingredients, including shrimp, are added
by total weight. Because shrimp naturally vary in size and weight, there may be a different number of
shrimp in an individual meal, but the weight proportions should be equivalent.
Do you offer any coupons?
Do you still offer Vegetarian & Chicken items?
After much consideration, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Vegetarian and Chicken line of products.
At our core, we are a seafood brand and decided to refocus our efforts on making better-for-you seafood meals going forward.
Our Vegetarian and Chicken items can still be found on shelves, but only for as long as that particular store has inventory.
We encourage you to check out our store locator on the “find us” page of our website to stay up-to-date on locations selling and items currently available.
Do your products contain any GMOs?
No, our products are 100% non-GMO and completely free of any bioengineered ingredients. At this time, we are unable to pursue official GMO-Free certification but hope to obtain it in the future. We pride ourselves on using only simple, wholesome ingredients, ethically-sourced shrimp, and flash-frozen veggies.
Are your products made in the US?
Yes, our meals are all produced in the United States.
Where are your shrimp sourced from?
All our shrimp comes from Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified sources in India, the #1 exporter of high-quality, ethical and sustainable shrimp to the US. BAP is a globally recognized seafood-specific certification program that addresses the four key areas of sustainability—environmental and social responsibility, animal welfare, food safety, and traceability—at each step of the aquaculture production chain.
