What is "HUNGRYROOT" on my bank statement?
HUNGRYROOT is a legitimate charge from Hungryroot, a grocery and meal subscription service.
Merchant: Hungryroot | Category: Food Delivery
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Hungryroot reflects a purchase at Hungryroot, a grocery and meal subscription service that launched in 2015. Hungryroot is an online-first food company, so it does not have a public retail store count like a supermarket chain. The business category is subscription food delivery, and charges usually come from recurring grocery boxes, meal kits, or add-on pantry items.
Hungryroot sells personalized food orders that are built around a customer profile and delivered on a schedule. The company uses the website hungryroot.com and the Hungryroot app to manage orders, recipes, and delivery timing. A statement line with HUNGRYROOT usually means the card was used for a subscription order, a one-time add-on, or a renewal tied to an active account.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when a Hungryroot order is processed, when a subscription renews, or when an add-on item is billed after checkout. It can also appear after a skipped delivery is reversed, a paused plan resumes, or a replacement order is sent. If someone in the household used your card on hungryroot.com, the charge can post under the Hungryroot name instead of a product name.
Hungryroot often bills when an order is finalized, not when the account is first created. That means a charge can show up after you confirm a weekly box, change your cart, or accept a suggested meal plan. A pending authorization can also appear first and then settle as the final amount.
Typical Charge Amounts
Typical Hungryroot charges often start around $65 and can run past $150 depending on the size of the order. A smaller order may post near $59.99, while a larger weekly grocery box can land around $129.99 or $179.99. If the card was only preauthorized, the hold amount may be about $1.00 to $10.00 before the final charge posts.
Hungryroot does not use a simple flat membership fee in the way a gym or streaming service does. The final amount usually depends on the selected foods, servings, and delivery frequency. Taxes and shipping can also change the total by several dollars.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A Hungryroot charge is usually legitimate if you or someone in your home placed an order at hungryroot.com or in the Hungryroot app. Start by checking your email for an order confirmation, shipment notice, or receipt from Hungryroot. Then sign in to your account and review the order history, delivery schedule, and payment method.
You can verify the merchant by comparing the statement date with the delivery date and the order total in your account. Hungryroot customer support is available through the help center at https://support.hungryroot.com and the main website at https://www.hungryroot.com. If the charge still looks unfamiliar, call the number shown on your receipt or bank statement and ask for the exact order ID tied to the transaction.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Log in to your Hungryroot account and open the order or subscription settings. 2. Cancel the next delivery, pause the plan, or remove saved payment methods if you do not want future charges. 3. Contact Hungryroot support through https://support.hungryroot.com and request a refund or billing review for the specific order. 4. If the merchant cannot resolve it, call the number on the back of your card and file a card dispute at the same time.
Hungryroot charges are usually tied to a completed food order, so refunds often depend on whether the box has shipped or been delivered. If the order is unopened or canceled before fulfillment, the merchant may offer a full or partial refund. If the charge is unauthorized, report it to your bank immediately and ask the bank to block future transactions from the same merchant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Hungryroot charge show as HUNGRYROOT*?
HUNGRYROOT* is a normal card descriptor format used when the merchant adds a processing marker, order tag, or subscription label to the transaction. It usually means the charge came from hungryroot.com or the Hungryroot app, and the asterisk does not by itself indicate fraud. Check your order confirmation email and account history to match the amount and date.
How do I cancel my Hungryroot subscription?
Log in to your Hungryroot account, open subscription settings, and choose pause or cancel before the next billing cycle. Then confirm that no future deliveries are scheduled and remove your saved card if you do not want reactivation charges. If you need help, use the support site at https://support.hungryroot.com and save the cancellation confirmation.
Why is my Hungryroot charge a different amount than expected?
Hungryroot charges can differ from the preview amount because the final order may include substitutions, add-ons, shipping, taxes, or a changed delivery size. A pending authorization can also be smaller than the final posted charge. Compare the receipt, order edits, and final shipment details in your account to see what changed.
Does Hungryroot charge weekly or only when I order?
Hungryroot can bill when a scheduled weekly order is confirmed, so the charge may appear on a recurring basis if your plan is active. If you skip a week, pause the subscription, or edit the cart, the billing timing can change. Review your delivery schedule in the account dashboard to see the next expected charge date.
Can I get a refund for a Hungryroot charge?
A refund is most likely if the order was canceled before shipping, billed in error, or duplicated. Contact Hungryroot support with the order number, charge date, and last four digits of the card. If the merchant does not resolve it, file a dispute with your bank and ask for a provisional credit review.
