Honest review of Thomson Nutri Confinement Meal
After researching and sampling trial meals from different companies, I decided on Thomson Nutri's 28-day confinement meal package, expecting consistent quality. While the trial meal was flavorful with a balanced salt level, the actual meals have been extremely disappointing. Here’s my experience:
1. Excessive Saltiness: The meals are consistently too salty, far more than what was offered in the trial. This high level of saltiness leaves me feeling excessively thirsty after each meal.
2. Misleading Sodium Claims: On their website, Thomson Nutri claims their meals use "no sodium salt." However, when I provided feedback on the saltiness, I was informed that sea salt was used, which, to my understanding, is still a form of sodium salt. My request for further clarification was brushed off with a standard response, which was disappointing.
3. Repetitive Meals: Despite the advertised variety, dishes are often repeated with only minor changes. Many meals have fancy names, which can be misleading; the dishes are nearly identical, with only slight ingredient swaps.
4. Cleanliness and Hygiene Concerns: Thomson Nutri allows customers to pour away any leftovers in the thermal containers and place them in the carrier. Unfortunately, the thermal bag often has a strong, unpleasant odor—almost like trash—likely due to overnight residue and insufficient cleaning before reuse. This odor has affected my appetite and overall enjoyment of the meals and it also makes me question if their hygiene standards meet NEA guidelines for food hygiene.
5. Value for Price: Thomson Nutri’s package is on the pricier side, yet it offers less variety (1 meat, 1 vegetable, and 1 soup) in smaller portions than other confinement meal services.
6. Rude Delivery Driver: The confinement period is already stressful enough, and having to deal with a rude delivery driver twice a day is not appreciated.
I find myself not looking forward to the meals each day, and my appetite has significantly decreased. The only positive is that the meals are usually delivered on time, so I can expect them at a consistent time each day. I’m sharing this review to help expectant mothers make an informed decision, as my experience contrasts sharply with the overly favorable reviews I found online.
