food preparation & storage instructions

important notes on eating & keeping your food

Picture

reheating

When reheating any food items in your delivery, we advise they reach an internal temperature of 165° F prior to consumption.

Picture

do not freeze 32 oz jars

The small upper lip on our largest 32 oz jars may cause shattering if frozen. Transfer contents to a different freezer-safe container prior to freezing. Smaller 16 oz, 10 oz, 8 oz, & 4 oz jars with no lip are generally safe in the freezer as long as enough room is left at the top for contents to expand.

gluten free disclaimer

We are pleased to offer a variety of gluten-free options on our menu. Our food is NOT prepared in a certified gluten-free kitchen, and thus we cannot ensure that cross-contamination will never occur as there is gluten present in our commissary kitchen. Additionally, some of the naturally gluten-free ingredients we utilize (e.g. nuts, dried fruit, etc.) are packaged/processed in facilities that contain gluten. If you have indicated a severe gluten allergy or intolerance with your order, we do work to minimize cross-contamination to the highest degree within our capabilities.
