Bla Band says
Bla Band meals taste great and could not be easier to prepare. All you have to do is simply fill the packet up to the indicated level mark on the inside of the packaging with hot or cold water. The award winning packaging is made from Flextrus Transofoil®, which is both fully recyclable as a plastic and acts as an excellent insulator, helping keep your meal hotter for longer.
Bla Band were one of the first pioneers in producing dry food, implementing the freeze-drying technique shortly after the Second world War. Since then, the Bla Band team have added other techniques such as vacuum, puff and air-drying to fully optimise the final, great tasting meal.
Our Verdict
Staff here at UOG have found Bla Band's meals pretty tasty and easy to prepare. All you have to do is simply fill the packet up to the indicated level with hot or cold water, stir, wait a little and your ready to go! Not all food brands feature a water level indicator but we prefer they did as they are incredibly helpful.
The packaging is made from Flextrus Transofoil, which is both fully recyclable as a plastic and is designed in such a way to act as an excellent insulator, helping keep your meal hotter for longer.
There's something for everyone as Bla Band’s meals cater for people with special dietary requirements. Some of the meals are suitable for vegetarians, those with lactose intolerance and people who need their food to be gluten free.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - “Blå Band’s Creamy Stew with Mushrooms is a comforting and subtle choice. It has a smooth texture and a gentle hint of mustard that complements the earthy mushroom mix. While some may prefer a slightly stronger flavour, adding more water helps create an ideal creamy consistency, especially when served warm.” |
