Why is the word "Roasted" added to our Bacon Label?
Different Label, Same Delicious Product! You may notice that our bacon labels have been updated to include the word roasted, but not to worry! We have added roasted to keep current with industry standards for product labeling. Rest assured, our legendary bacon using old-world smoking methods and cherished family recipes have not changed a bit.

How long can I keep products in the refrigerator?
Most unopened Nueske’s products can be refrigerated for 1 month. For specific product shelf life details, click on Store & Prepare tab on each individual website product page.

Can I make product substitutions or customize gift assortments, baskets and variety packs? 
Sorry, assortments are pre-packed for shipping so it’s not possible to substitute components with other products.

Do you keep my credit card information in your online files?
To maintain the highest possible security level, we do not maintain your credit card account number in our files. While we retain billing and shipping addresses for the convenience of our registered customers, you’ll be asked for your credit card account number each time you order.

Do you offer a corporate gifting and incentive program that ships individual gifts and offers discount pricing for volume orders?
Absolutely. We have a turn-key Corporate Gift program that makes quality gift-giving to clients, suppliers and employees easy and affordable.

Shipping

Why is bonus gift shipping limited to order ship-to addresses?
Although it’s costly we love providing free bonus gifts to our loyal customers. These gifts are intended to be enclosed in order shipments where the additional weight of the gift adds little to the cost of shipping. Shipment of bonus gifts to separate addresses is very costly, however, and would make our customer gift program absolutely unaffordable. This is why our program requires gifts be enclosed with order shipments.

How will my order be kept cool during shipping?
We guarantee your order to arrive in perfect condition to the street address you provide.  Our products are shipped frozen and our experienced packaging team uses a combination of corrugated boxes, coolers, frozen gel packs, depending on the contents of your order and climate of the delivery address, in order to keep your Nueske’s meat products properly chilled.

Do you ship products overseas? Canada?
Overseas
: Due to the perishable nature of many of our products, we can ship via standard shipping only to locations within the continental United States. Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, require additional air shipping charges.
Canada: No. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult for packages of perishable goods crossing the border from the U.S. to Canada to reach their recipients in a timely manner. These circumstances have forced us to discontinue this option rather than compromise our commitment to the best customer service possible.
