First pack was great. I'm new to Guosto and I have several companies so finding time for a shop is almost impossible with my hours. I've tried KBK which was good but the meat quality was poor, it's double the cost of Guosto.
I'm on my fourth box at the moment, boxes 2 and 3 were really frustrating. I can see from other reviews that I am not the only person suffering from missing ingredients and meat/veg going off within a few days. I even have my fridge on the coldest setting with a boost and its almost icey in the back. The veg is still going off and the meat will start to stink within 2 days of the box arriving. Veg generally starts to wilt within 2 days if it's not already dying with the box. The have packed bags of leaf based veggies which don't do so well as they sweat within the bag too, so if you open the bag while in the fridge it will last longer.
The missing ingredients have occured in almost every meal ordered, and it's normally fine to miss a lime or something small, but its really crucial ingredients like cornflour for thickening the sauces for meals which makes you end up with some watery crap, even if you cook the water down.
On one occasion I had so many missing ingredients that I had to take them from another meal plan, which left me with an incomplete meal at the end of the week which was binned basically.
I'll keep trying it out for a few more weeks and see what happens, but my guess is that the veg is bought from other companies that need to scrap their produce and same with the meat, getting discounts on consumables which are about to go off.
It's a risky business, only takes one instance of meat to go back to get someone really sick or worse.. potentially fatal. This is what concerns me the most so I don't order any chicken from Gousto.
Taste: Always great to be honest, sometimes it's good to add an extra onion or salt, but the meals do taste very good.
