FULL TRANSPARENCY
Yes, the pouch is plastic. Here's the honest data on microplastics — and how a single serving compares to things you already consume every day.
One UC pouch~8–10 particles
Table salt (per serving)up to 5,500
Bottled water (per litre)up to 370,000
Context is everything
A single serving of our chicken carries roughly 8–10 microplastic particles. For context, that's a tiny fraction of what's in everyday staples like table salt and bottled water.
Why we use this pouch
The vacuum-sealed pouch is what makes sous-vide possible — it lets us slow-cook at exactly 63°C and keeps the chicken fresh for 14 days with zero preservatives. We're constantly evaluating better materials as food-safe options improve.
