If you'd like to edit or update your food preferences after you've setup your Shef account, don't worry! We offer a few different ways you can customize your food preferences within Shef.
Navigate to "Manage Service" in the upper righthand corner of your screen, or "Manage weekly service" from the main menu to the top left.
Under "Taste Profile" select "Edit"
Here, you'll see options to select your Household Diet, Ingredients to avoid, and Your preferred proteins.
Household Diet allows you to choose from the following options:
Omnivore: "I eat meat and veggies! No restrictions needed."
Vegetarian: "I don't eat any animal meat, including poultry and fish."
Pescatarian: "I don't eat anything with legs (poultry, meat), but seafood is ok with me."
If you select Vegetarian or Pescatarian, Shef will only suggest or replace meals with items that fit those categories.
Ingredients to avoid let's you restrict or flag certain ingredients from being included in your search or in your substituted items.
All you need to do is select the ingredient you'd like to avoid, and then select one of the following options:
Flag all dishes: This will add a visual flag on all items that include this ingredient so you can be aware of them as you consider them for your cart. Flagged ingredients are not restricted and may still be added to your cart in a Shef substitution if a different meal is unavailable. This is a great option if one family member has a preference, but the other family members do not. Be aware of the ingredients you're trying to avoid without restricting them from your search.
Hide all dishes: This will hide and restrict all dishes that include a certain ingredient. This ingredient will not be included in any Shef suggestions or substitutions.
Once you've selected your choice, hit "Save"
