FAQs
Most households get the best results with 2–3 Fridge Friends placed across the fridge.
Why? Because freshness isn’t just about one spot, it’s about creating the right environment throughout your fridge.
Here’s a simple guide:
Starter Pack (1 Fridge Friend)
Best for: Single-person households with small (200-350L) fridges or light use
Place it in your crisper or near your most-used produce. A great starting point, but coverage is limited.
Everyday Pack (2 Fridge Friends)
Ideal for: 2–3-person households with a medium-sized (350-500L) fridge.
Use one in the crisper and one on a shelf. This helps create a balanced fridge environment so fruit and veg stay fresher for longer.
Family Pack (3 Fridge Friends)
Perfect for 3–5-person households, medium–large (400+L) fridges, or anyone serious about reducing food waste.
Place across both crispers and the main shelf area for full coverage. This setup gives the strongest results and helps maximise how long your groceries last.
Fridge Friend works like an air filter for your fridge environment.
It absorbs ethylene gas (the natural ripening gas), excess moisture, and harmful airborne bacteria and mould that causes food to spoil faster.
Inside each unit is a unique, 100% natural mineral blend that helps slow ripening and keep produce fresher, crisper, and healthier for longer.
No chemicals, sprays, or refills required, just place it in your fridge and let it do its work for up to 3 years.
Each Fridge Friend is designed to stay effective for up to 3 years with no refills required.
Simply refresh it once a month using gentle heat from the sun, oven, or microwave to reactivate the minerals and keep it working at its best.
To back this up, every Fridge Friend comes with a 3-year replacement warranty.
Over 99% of customers keep their Fridge Friends.
But if you’re not completely satisfied, return it within 90 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
Email hello@fridgefriend.com and we’ll organise it for you.
Absolutely! Fridge Friend is completely safe to use. Independent safety data confirms that there are no hazards associated with it under normal usage.
Fridge Friend uses a unique 100% naturally blended unprocessed mineral, and is safe to have around your fresh produce.
- It doesn’t chemically react with food or packaging,
- It’s stable and doesn’t degrade or produce any by-products, and
- It’s safe to be around food environments.
In fact, thanks to our sister company, Ecofresh Filters, it’s been trusted in commercial cool rooms for over 10 years in cafes, restaurants, and pubs across Australia.

Meet the enemy: ethylene
Fruits and vegetables naturally release a plant hormone called ethylene gas as they ripen.
This gas causes nearby fruits and vegetables to ripen more quickly than they normally would.
Reducing ethylene in your fridge slows this process, helping fresh produce last longer!

Research data on the effects of Fridge Friend
The tests below show how effective Fridge Friend is at making your groceries last longer by tackling ethylene gas, the main culprit behind food spoilage.
As you can see, in the first test, it lowered ethylene by 79%.
These findings prove that Fridge Friend really works!
Proven commercial cool room technology, now in your home
Fridge Friend is proudly run by an Aussie family who has been supplying commercial filters to cool rooms for more than 12 years. The same filters have been used internationally for more than 20 years.
We worked with organisations including Co-Labs Melbourne, CSIRO and Deakin University, to develop and improve Fridge Friend and make the same commercial food preservation technology available for Aussie homes.
Stop wasting food & start saving up to $800 Year
According to their National Food Waste Strategy Feasibility Study, the average Australian household wastes about $2,500 on food that is thrown out each year
So, how much of that wasted food is fresh produce? We crunched the numbers and found that around 40% of household food waste is made up of fresh produce (based on data from page 17 of the study).
That means about $1,000 of the $2,500 is wasted on produce alone.
While some households have reported that Fridge Friend has completely eliminated their fresh produce waste, we’ve taken a more conservative approach and estimated that Fridge Friend can reduce produce waste by up to 80% (or $800 per year).
Placing Fridge Friend in your fridge keeps your produce fresh for longer, helps you reduce food waste, and puts up to $800 back in your pocket!
A win for your wallet and the planet.

Unbelievably vegetables are lasting for weeks. Washed strawberries have last for a week (staying as fresh as the first day) and probably could have stayed fresh for more than a week. I’m amazed by this product.
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that your vegetables and strawberries are staying fresh for so long. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the Fridge Friend®. We appreciate your feedback! Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder

I bought my fridge friend a few years ago now
, and can say quite positively that it is the best product for our fridge we ith keeping food fresher for longer. Plus the benefit of reminder emails to reset our fridge friend in the microwave for 20 seconds is brilliant. I now need one for our caravan fridge

I am very impressed with the performance of the Fridge Friends! I initially bought 2 and very quickly bought another 2 for the Westinghouse fridge freezer I have (Model WHE6060SB - 565l storage). I should have taken more time to read the advice available on the website! Two in the main fridge compartment and one in each of the 2 drawer units for a fridge this size!
I wanted to prove to myself that the investment was worthwhile so in one of the drawers, put fresh mint and Spinach purchased from Coles on 6 & 8 August respectively. Today, 12 August, the mint and spinach are still very fresh. Photos included of the fresh mint being used in a Moroccan couscous dish and the spinach will go into a salad today! Usually the mint turns black in the fridge drawers within 4 days and spinach usually gets slimy just a quick, no matter how well I try to store it. Needless to say, I am VERY happy with Fridge Friends.
I've used similar products before which just haven't been up to the job. They were much small and thinner and certainly didn't last long, so don't waste your money on supposedly cheaper products that purport to do the same thing as Fridge Friends!

It is amazing!! Fresh veg that would normally have started to degrade, much to my frustration, still looks as good as when I bought it a week ago! I love this product.
Hi Di, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that the Fridge Friend® is helping keep your vegetables fresh. Cheers, Jonathan Co-Founder
How about actually delivering the product before asking if I like it. Tracking has been showing label created for 17 days!
Hi Gary,
I just saw your 1 Star. I’m very sorry for the Australia Post delay.
It appears this was originally lost in transit, but then it's been scanned today in Perth.
There're no scans from the time it left here, until it arrived in Perth.
I'd estimate this would be delivered before the end of the week.
Regardless, I have processed a refund for the Express Post fees.
Cheers, Jonathan Co-Founder
So far, absolutely love it. Have had it 3 weeks or so and so far no food in my fridge has gone off and we've had enough time to plan, prep, eat, lower our shopping bill and I'm excited to see it continue to work in the future. My partner was sceptical but even she is surprised how long vegetables are lasting in the crisper.
Hi Morgyn, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Fridge Friend® and seeing such great results! Thanks for sharing your experience, and we hope it continues to make your fridge smarter. Happy to have you as a happy customer! Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder www.fridgefriend.com
Clear instructions.
I love my fridge friends. Vegetables are lasting a lot longer and I love the fact that a quick zap in the microwave once a month and they are good to go.
Hi Shauna, we're so happy to hear you're loving your Fridge Friend®! It's great to know your vegetables last longer and that they're so easy to refresh. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I received 3 fridge friends. One in each crisper & one in the larger fridge area. I am impressed. One of the best tests is my berries, especially raspberries, which have stayed fresh for two weeks and still going. I live alone and this will save me money from wastage. Simple and easy to use, good value for money.
Hi Heather, we're thrilled to hear your berries are staying fresh and you're happy with the Fridge Friend®! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing us to help reduce waste. Enjoy your fresh produce! Cheers Jonathan. Co-Founder www.fridgefriend.com

Very happy with the reduction of fridge smell. This is my second week and keen to see how far the freshness can stretch. I was amazed with keeping spring onions for longer than a couple of days
