About Your Nueske's Bacon Shipment

We freeze well before the “freeze by” date

Every cut of meat we ship is frozen in our facility well before the “freeze by” date printed on the manufacturer’s sticker. That date refers to the last day the product can be placed into frozen storage — not an expiration date. Once frozen, the clock effectively stops.

Guaranteed for 365 days from the date frozen

The manufacturers and producers of these meat products guarantee quality and food safety for 365 days from the date the product was frozen. Because we freeze early, your shipment has the full benefit of that year-long window — regardless of what the “freeze by” sticker may suggest at a glance.

Packed to stay cold from our door to yours

Your order travels in an insulated shipper with dry ice and/or gel packs, sized to the route and weather. This keeps the meat at a safe temperature throughout transit. It is normal for some or all of the dry ice to have sublimated by the time your package arrives — that simply means it did its job.
