Do any of your products contain allergens?
Since Home Market Foods operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) guidelines, all ingredients contained in our products are clearly declared on the ingredient statement. Our Allergen Program includes clearly labeling all ingredients and products at receiving, through processing, to finished goods with allergen labels present in the ingredient/product. Our storage and production schedule are designed in a way to prevent possible allergen cross-contamination. If you have concerns about specific ingredients, please get in touch.
What is the process for labeling products as Gluten Free?
As for our Gluten-free Management System (GFMS), Home Market Foods operates under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) guidelines. A ‘gluten-free” label is applied to the ingredients at receiving and before storage, and they are stored in their own designated section. Before shipment of final product, product is tested for the presence of gluten. If you have concerns about specific ingredients, please get in touch.
Do any of your products contain MSG?
We do not use MSG in any of our products as a flavor enhancer. Rather, through many years of developmental research, we have a custom group of ingredients that we use as flavor enhancers.
Are all of your products approved by the USDA?
Yes. All our products are USDA or FDA-regulated.
What do I do if the product has "freezer burn"?
Freezer Burn can occur when a package is not sealed properly and the cold, dry air of the freezer draws the moisture from the meat. Freezer Burn also occurs when product is not kept frozen and condensation forms inside the bag. This is a common occurrence when frozen foods are thawed and then refrozen. It is perfectly safe to consume our products if they have “freezer burn”. You should follow the heating instructions as you normally would. However, we do not recommend consuming as “freezer burn” will give all food, not just our products, an off-taste and a very dry, tough texture.
