How to unsubscribe from HelloFresh emails
To do a HelloFresh unsubscribe properly, log in, click your name in the upper-right corner, open Account Settings, then Notification Settings, and switch off every email toggle you do not want. This matters because cancelling your box does not remove you from the marketing list - HelloFresh is one of the most persistent winback senders around, and "16 Free Meals" discount emails routinely continue for months after people cancel. The toggles, the in-email link, and a blocking fallback are all covered below.

Method 1: turn off email toggles in Account Settings
- Sign in on the HelloFresh website.
- Click your name in the upper-right corner and choose Account Settings.
- Select Notification Settings (also labelled Notification Preferences in some regions).
- Toggle off each category of marketing email. There is no save button - changes apply immediately.
One caution reported by former customers: be deliberate while logged in. Cancelled accounts have been known to spring back to life, so glance at your plan status before you leave.
Method 2: the unsubscribe link in the email footer
Every HelloFresh discount email has a footer opt-out link that works without signing in - useful if you deleted the app long ago and forgot your password. Gmail and Apple Mail also offer a one-click Unsubscribe button at the top of the message. The footer link may only cover the stream that sent that particular email, so the account toggles remain the thorough option.
Why HelloFresh emails keep coming back
"Still getting HelloFresh emails after cancelling" is one of the most common complaints about any meal-kit brand, and it is usually not a glitch. Lapsed customers are the winback campaign's whole audience, new promotional streams get added over time, and a reactivated account quietly re-enables the lot. Some users even report being told they were removed, only for another offer to land days later. This is exactly why ClearMyInbox does not treat an unsubscribe as finished: around a month later it re-scans your inbox and marks HelloFresh as either confirmed stopped or still sending, so a resurfaced list gets caught instead of ignored.
Fallback: block or filter the sender
If offers persist after both methods, take it out of HelloFresh's hands. In Gmail, create a filter for the HelloFresh promo address and send it straight to Delete or Skip Inbox. In Outlook, Sweep the sender or add it to your Blocked senders list. Scope the filter to the marketing address rather than the whole domain if you still have an active subscription.
Emails that will continue regardless
Delivery confirmations, box-tracking updates, payment receipts, and account or password notices are transactional. While your subscription is active and billing, those keep arriving no matter which marketing toggles you flip - and that is the correct behaviour.
The rest of the HelloFresh family and beyond
HelloFresh Group also owns Factor, Green Chef, and EveryPlate, each with its own list - our Factor unsubscribe guide covers the prepared-meals sibling.

Frequently asked questions
Why does HelloFresh still email me after I cancelled my box?▾
Cancelling the subscription and opting out of marketing are two separate settings. A cancelled account stays on the marketing list by default, and cancelled customers are exactly who winback discount campaigns target. Open Account Settings and switch off the email toggles under Notification Preferences, or use the unsubscribe link in the discount email itself.
Where are HelloFresh email preferences?▾
Log in on the website, click your name in the upper-right corner, choose Account Settings, then open Notification Settings. Each email type has its own on/off toggle and changes apply automatically without a save button.
Can logging back in reactivate my HelloFresh subscription?▾
Customers have reported accounts becoming active again unexpectedly, a complaint that made UK national news. After adjusting your email toggles, double-check your plan status still shows as cancelled before logging out.
Do I have to unsubscribe from Factor and Green Chef separately?▾
Yes. Factor, Green Chef, and EveryPlate are HelloFresh Group brands but each runs its own mailing list tied to its own account. Opting out of HelloFresh mail does nothing to a Factor list you also joined.
What HelloFresh emails cannot be turned off?▾
Delivery confirmations, box tracking, payment receipts, and account notices are service emails tied to an active subscription. They stop on their own once no boxes are being billed or shipped.
