How long do your deli meats stay fresh in the refrigerator?

Our products are minimally processed. In order for you to enjoy optimum flavor, we recommend that you do not purchase more product than you can consume within three days.

Can your products be frozen?

We do not recommend freezing our meats and cheeses. Freezing affects both texture and flavor. However, if you do choose to freeze any of our fine products, be sure to defrost under refrigeration.

I have sensitivity to particular ingredients. How can I find out which meats contain a particular ingredient?

We have product lists available for people with sensitivities to particular ingredients. Contact us by calling our Nutrition Line at 800-352-6277. We'd be delighted to answer your questions or mail specific information to you.

Are your products Gluten Free?

All Boar's Head Brand® Meats, Cheeses and Condiments, as well as Hans Jurgen® Pickles are Gluten Free.

Of course we encourage you to always read labels, and check for any specific ingredients your doctor may want you to avoid. Always check the labels on store prepared entrees and sandwiches as they may contain gravies and sauces that contain gluten.
