Products

Where does your meat come from?

All our meats come from Canada, but mainly Quebec, and Ontario for some products.

What does ''natural meat'' mean?

According to the definition, a natural food - such as meat - is a food that is unaltered by chemicals that could possibly be harmful to human and / or animal health. A natural meat will not contain any chemical food additives, whether it’s food colouring, hormones or antibiotics that aren’t for curative usage.

Learn more about natural meat in our article: What is a natural meat?

How long can I keep a product before consumption?

As long as the products are frozen, you can keep it for many years. If you thaw the products, be sure to cook them before you freeze them again. You should never refreeze a meat that has not been properly cooked before, because then the bacteria count increases.

Do your products contain gluten or lactose?

All products are lactose-free. But some marinated products may contain gluten. Be sure to apply the Gluten-free filter when shopping, or click here.

The products' skin packaging seem to be in bad shape... What do I do?

If the skin packaging has been damaged and the meat is in contact with air, it's at your own risk to eat it. We recommend you don't eat it and you contact us.

How do I thaw the meat?

There are different ways to thaw meat. Refrigerator, cold water or even microwave oven. Get all the details in our article: 3 ways to defrost a meat.

Will your products fit in my freezer?

Obviously, it's up to you to make room in your freezer, but our individual and advantageous packages make it easy to fit. No more overpacking in cumbersome boxes.

What is dry-aged meat?

Meat aging is a controlled process also known as meat maturation. It's process that makes the meat more tender and gives it a better taste. Learn more about meat aging and dry-aging in our article: What is an aged meat?
