Australian Enterprise Awards 2026

Best Ready-to-Eat Healthy Meal Delivery Service 2026 Clean Eats Australia is a premium, ready-to-eat meal delivery service. The firm aims to redefine convenience by delivering chef-crafted, ready-to-eat meals that nourish the body without compromising on taste. We speak to the company’s Founder, Tony Fadlallah, to find out more about the brand’s ethos and operations, in the wake of it gaining notable recognition in the Australian Enterprise Awards 2026. While ready meals were once synonymous with ‘unhealthy,’ the modern landscape has shifted toward high-quality, chefprepared options that serve as a strategic tool for health and productivity. Melbourne-based ready-made meal company, Clean Eats Australia (Clean Eats), is dedicated to giving busy Australians access to fresh, healthy, and genuinely delicious meals without the stress of having to shop and cook for themselves. Serving a diverse customer base, from working professionals and parents to athletes and fitness-focused individuals, all of the firm’s clients are united by one common interest: the desire for convenient nutrition that they can trust. To this end, Clean Eats’ service focuses on high-quality, freshly prepared meals delivered weekly across Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales, with everything being freshly cooked, portion-controlled, and designed to support a balanced diet while still feeling indulgent and satisfying… with convenience added in to boot! The firm’s philosophy revolves around the four core values of quality, consistency, transparency, and customer-first service. These values guide every decision made - from sourcing premium ingredients and refining recipes, to ensuring that delivery and customer support systems are seamless. This commitment has been central to Clean Eats growth and to earning the trust of thousands of loyal customers. “What sets Clean Eats apart is our combination of freshness, taste, and affordability - a balance many meal-prep companies struggle to achieve,” explains Tony Fadlallah, the company’s Founder and Director. “Every meal is prepared locally by trained chefs, not massproduced in factories or frozen for transport. Customers consistently tell us our meals “taste like home-cooked meals, not meal prep,” which has become a defining part of our reputation.” The organisation upholds its stellar reputation through strict quality control, weekly menu innovation, fast customer response times, and a genuine desire to understand what our customers need. The aim is simple: to make eating well easy, so that customers can spend less time cooking and more time living. In Australia, the ready-made meal industry continues to grow rapidly, driven by three major trends: demand for healthier, wholefood meals; convenience as a lifestyle priority; and increased transparency around ingredients and nutrition. Additionally, the cost-of-living pressures across Australia have reshaped consumer behaviour - customers want value without compromising on health or flavour. Clean Eats has adapted by refining its portion sizes, optimising the menu to reduce food waste, and offering flexible ordering systems with no lock-in contracts. It also constantly reviews its pricing, delivery options, and packaging to ensure it remains accessible while maintaining premium quality. “Challenges like rising ingredient costs have pushed us to innovate: building stronger supplier relationships, improving production efficiency, and investing in technology to reduce operational overheads,” Tony elaborates. “These challenges ultimately become opportunities to deliver a better product and experience.” The internal culture at Clean Eats is built on teamwork, accountability, and pride in what the brand produces. The kitchen and customer service teams work closely together, and everyone understands that they play a direct role in the customer experience. When recruiting, Tony looks for staf f members who are reliable, proactive, and passionate about food and service. Whether in production, packing, or customer support, the company values people who care about consistency and treat the business as if it were their own. Furthermore, in recognition for their hard work, staff are nurtured through continuous feedback, open communication, and creating an environment where good work is rewarded. “When hiring, we prioritise attitude and alignment with our values over everything else,” Tony tells us. “Skills can be taught, but reliability, work ethic, and respect for the customer experience are non-negotiable. We aim to build a team that works together smoothly and represents the brand with pride. “The most integral part of our working environment is clarity - clear communication, clear expectations, and clear standards. This ensures everyone knows what success looks like each day.” Recently, for its commitment to producing quality, fresh products, Clean Eats tasted success in the Australian Enterprise Awards 2026 and was named Best Ready-to-Eat Healthy Meal Delivery Service 2026. Looking ahead, Tony states that Clean Eats is focused on expanding its weekly menu, introducing more seasonal dishes, and improving sustainable packaging options. He is also working towards scaling the firm’s delivery capabilities to hopefully an additional three states within the first two quarters of the year, and exploring new tools to improve customer experience, such as enhanced nutritional tracking and subscription flexibility. “2026 is set to be a year of growth and refinement for Clean Eats,” he enthuses. “We aim to continue evolving without losing the core values that have earned us this award - quality meals, exceptional service, and a commitment to making healthy eating effortless. “Clean Eats is not a faceless corporation; it’s a passionate, Melbourne-based team genuinely dedicated to improving people’s day-to-day lives through food!” Here are just a handful of the five-star online reviews from delighted customers praising Clean Eats Australia for its delicious, healthy meals: “These meal preps are a game changer if you’re a busy Mum on the go, or just trying to lose weight without the stress can’t recommend enough. The food is amazing so fresh so tasty.” “Another amazing meal full of flavour and taste it’s making my diet so much fun and I’m enjoying my journey with the food provided not boring foods at all and when doing hella night I’m like a little kid waiting to open my lollies - love all their meals, never been disappointed.”
