I had fresh pineapple today, it was really juicy and tasty.

I emailed them asking them to untick Peanuts for me and received this.

Hi Feek,

Sorry to hear you receive peanuts!

We've actually had a lot of feedback like yours from grazers wanting to make sure they never receive specific ingredients of our mixes, so we've made it really easy to rate everything in our range which contains a particular food, e.g. peanut:-

Everything containing peanut - http://www.graze.com/products/ingredient/peanuts

This link works for everything you might want to 'bin' simply by changing 'peanuts' to say, 'strawberries' or 'chocolate' or even 'honey' or 'yoghurt' (make sure you're logged in). You've actually managed to bin all peanuts now, so we hope you enjoy your peanut free boxes from now on!

We'll also send you your next half price since you couldn't enjoy all of your box yesterday.

Lots of love and kisses,

Hannah

Someone at work had blackcurrents delivered on two consecutive days, she didn't complain about it but she had an email apologising for it and telling her that her next box would be free.

They're trying really hard, I hope they succeed as I think it's a great service. I've not eaten so much fruit for months

You can also click on an item, then the link in the ingredients list. You end up at the page for that ingredient and can bin the lot.

I used that technique to bin plums and cherries, and yoghurt.

Didn't eat my box from today. Saving it for the office tomorrow (fresh fruit went straight in the fridge and we'll see if that works out OK).

Hmm interesting, shame I'm out and about in different offices a lot at the moment, I'm thinking I might tick a few boxes for home delivery, gets delivered in the day then will pop in the fridge when I get home and take into work the next day for lunch. I usually spend about £3-£5 a day on lunch so might even do every day, nice to have a bit of variety!

I'm not sure I'd like to leave the fresh fruit for an extra day. It's all date marked for the day of delivery and they make a big thing saying that it doesn't need refrigerating.

Mark · 29-04-2009, 23:01

Yes indeed. I'll see how it goes. It's a half price box so no harm done if it doesn't work (especially as I know I'm going to love the other two punnets).

My pineapple was nommed on the sunday (delivery Friday) and it was still absolutely fine

Not sure about value for money, quantities seem very small, I can get a lot of fruit and nuts for £3 at my local grocers, albeit perhaps not as exotic as some of the graze offerings. And for me £3 is a lot considering I try to budget on average <£4 per day on food.

A lot of packaging, and while clearly going to great lengths to state it's all recycled/recyclable/biodegradable, it's still something that makes me a bit uneasy.

Undecided whether to get a second box next week at the reduced rate, probably not.

I think thats perfectly understandable; for me its a boon because I'm lazy and I wouldn't go and get fresh fruit I'd be more likely to go and buy a chocolate bar than go to the shop. Effectively its for people with more money than motivation, yeah thats probably me
