Where do Mealime recipes go now?

Where they go

Every Mealime recipe moves to Meals Hub.

Albertsons Companies, the American supermarket group that owns Mealime, is moving every Mealime recipe to Meals Hub, a recipe and meal‑planning feature inside its grocery apps such as Safeway, Albertsons and Vons. Meals Hub is free, the former Pro recipes included, and Mealime says it works without one of those stores nearby: you can browse recipes, plan meals and make shopping lists.

What does not move is your own collection. Mealime deletes personal data when it shuts down, so your favourites, your plans and the recipes you added yourself go with it. In Meals Hub you sign in to a store app and look your dishes up again, one by one.

Keep yours

Three ways to keep the dishes you love.

  1. Find them again in Meals Hub

    If you shop at an Albertsons store, or do not mind a store app, search Meals Hub for each dish by name. Your saved list does not come along, so write the names down first.

  2. Save them as PDF

    Open a recipe’s page or share link in a browser and choose Print, then Save as PDF. The page shows ingredients, steps and servings. Do it before 21 October, while the pages are online.

  3. Bring them into Mealpakt, all at once

    Paste the names of your saved recipes, or their share links, into Mealpakt, and it brings every one over: ingredients, amounts, servings and steps, in metric units where Mealime has them. From then on they are planned around the packs you actually buy, so the rest of the tin of coconut milk has a dish too.

Questions

Mealime recipes, answered.

Where can I find Mealime recipes after the shutdown?

In Meals Hub, the recipe and meal‑planning feature inside the grocery apps of Albertsons Companies, such as Safeway, Albertsons and Vons. Mealime says Meals Hub has every Mealime recipe, is free, and works without one of those stores nearby.

Will my saved Mealime recipes move to Meals Hub?

Not as far as Mealime has said. Its closing notice says all personal data is deleted at shutdown, and it describes no transfer of favourites, plans or shopping lists. Write down the names of the dishes you want to keep; in Meals Hub you look them up again.

How do I import Mealime recipes into another app?

Mealime has no export button. Each recipe has a public page that its share link opens, though, and Mealpakt reads those pages: paste the names or share links of your recipes, one per line, and it brings them all over at once, until Mealime closes on 21 October.

What about the recipes I added to Mealime myself?

They have no public page, so a name or a link cannot find them. On a computer, the Send to Mealpakt bookmark button reads them from Mealime’s website, together with your favourites, and sends them over in one click. Our export guide shows how.

Can I still save a Mealime recipe as a PDF?

Yes, until 21 October 2026: open the recipe’s page in a browser and choose Print, then Save as PDF. The page shows ingredients, steps and servings.

Will a Mealime recipe look the same in Mealpakt?

The facts stay the same: ingredients, amounts, servings, times and the order of the steps, in metric units where Mealime has them. Mealpakt writes the description and the steps in its own words, gives the dish a plain name that says what it is, and shows what Mealime called it.

Is Mealpakt free for people leaving Mealime?

Mealpakt is free during beta, with every feature and no ads, and people moving from Mealime are let in straight away: write to us with Mealime in the subject.
