UPDATED 6/14/23: To be fair, after posting this review, I was contacted via email by one of Trifecta’s sales managers and was refunded all of my money even though I was told this was outside of their “100% money back guarantee” policy. Although I am very grateful, I still stand by my original review as I think Trifecta’s marketing practices are very misleading and the actual food you receive does not remotely resemble what is represented on their website. I think if you believe that strongly in your product, then post actual pictures of the meals that are being purchased and let the consumer decide.

You might want to think twice before ordering from this company . . .
I really try not to write a negative review unless it’s warranted and I’m afraid this one does.
First, let me say the food tastes terrible. And when I say terrible, I mean it’s really terrible and almost inedible. The same base flavor seems to be in every meal and overall they are completely unappetizing in appearance, smell, and taste. All the meals truly look and taste like the same hash with a couple of different ingredients. Seriously, how can someone make a simple egg and sausage dish taste so bad? Are they powdered eggs? My husband will eat just about anything and even he didn’t like Trifecta’s food and went so far as to say that it looked and tasted like cat food. I’m not sure he knows exactly what cat food tastes like but I think you get his meaning. Of the 20 meals we received (10 breakfasts and 10 dinners), we threw away every single one of them after only a couple of bites, with the exception of one salmon dish. I’m just amazed anyone could write a positive review for this food.
Second, I think it’s very shady to be charged for the second week’s billing before we even had a chance to taste the food from the first week’s delivery. Note the delivery for the first week was made on a Friday and we were charged for the second week’s delivery the very next day on a Saturday. When I tried to cancel the second week’s order on that Monday after trying the first four meals, the customer service rep was unable to accommodate my request and I was charged yet another $164.98, where all of it went in the trash. Note my cancellation request was made on a Monday for something that wasn’t planned to ship until that Friday but yet they couldn’t accommodate my request. Hmmm. When I again emailed their customer service team to invoke the “100% money back guarantee”, I was refunded a whopping $54.25 from my first order only and my second shipment still proceeded forward. So, my “100% money back guarantee” cost me a little over $200 for completely inedible food.
If you’re considering ordering food from this company, I would seriously think twice and read a few more of their reviews (which I wish I had done!) instead of falling prey to the slick marketing on their website. If you are still compelled to try them out for the convenience like I was and think the other negative reviews are just a fluke, I would highly recommend that you immediately pause your subscription as soon as you press the subscribe button so you get a fair opportunity to try the food before automatically getting charged for the second week. Personally, my recommendation is to avoid this company altogether as I think they have very poor business practices. I could overlook the bad tasting food and even not getting all of my money back for the first week’s order despite their 100% money back guarantee, but to still ship the second week and charge me an additional $164.98 even though I notified them 5 business days prior to shipping that I wanted to cancel my subscription because we disliked the food, that’s just not a company I want to do business with or one that I would consider ethical.
