This seems like you are working off of TastyBite's playbook:

> The options were expensive, time-consuming, or tasted horrible.
Tasty bite tastes decent, takes 60-90 seconds to heat up, and costs about $3/package with no need for refrigeration.

This seems like a YC to clone TastyBite without any differentiation beyond the nebulous "quality food".
So....
Are you telling me your quality is so much better a household staple of my life is going to be replaced for twice the price?

From the amazon link to TastyBite's packaging, it looks like they also don't use preservatives (It's explicitly mentioned in the packaging that no preservatives are used). Good luck with your startup, but their shelf life of 9+ months doesn't seem to be due to use of preservatives, it could be due to the packaging process.
On a relative note, there are tons of such products in India and most of them taste sub par to home cooked food. One exception I found was Butter Chicken I used to buy regularly when I was spent some time in Newyork few years ago. You just have to freeze it until you open and then, heat it in microwave and ready to go. It tasted very good, but spoiled my stomach (I am bearing the burden even till today) due to the usage of preservatives. Anything that doesn't use preservative is a welcome addition.
One more, when you mentioned sustainable packaging, what does it mean? Is it paper or bio plastic? If so another +1.
