What is Nueske’s doing to ensure the safety of its customers and employees?
In cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO), National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local health administrations, Nueske’s is adhering to the highest levels of sanitation and prevention.
The use of approved gloves, masks, cleaning, and hygiene products are encouraged and mandated in certain circumstances, and our facilities are disinfected regularly. Sanitary measures are practiced daily, including, but not limited to social distancing, regular hand-washing and sanitizing, avoiding unnecessary touching of the face, elbow coughs or sneezes, restraining from physical contact including handshakes, restricting the sharing of items, and the use of proper masks, gloves, proximity barriers, and other hygienic items.
We are performing regularly scheduled check-ins with our staff. We have equipped employees to work remotely in all possible cases to comply with the recommended preventative defense of self-isolation. Anyone who exhibits symptoms of COVID-19 must stay home and receive proper testing while following all instructions stated by their medical professional. Meetings are held remotely whenever feasible or limited to small spread-out groups (6 or more feet apart). We have restricted any unnecessary business-related travel.

There is a 6-digit number on my product package. What does it mean?
If you have a product that has a six-digit code printed on it, rather than a traditionally-formatted “Best By/Freeze By Date”, that 6-digit code is what is known as a Production date.

How do you read a Production dated product?
Production date states what day the product was produced at Nueske’s manufacturing plant. The format is YYMMDD in the barcode and MM-DD-YY on the readable case label. Packages will be in MM-DD-YY ABCDR format. The “ABCDR” signifies what line the product was produced on.

Does your bacon contain nitrites?
Our Applewood Smoked Bacon does contain a small amount of sodium nitrite. The use of sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate is required by the USDA for a meat product to be considered cured. Our Wild Cherrywood Smoked Bacon is labeled uncured due to USDA labeling requirements, but is also known as a “naturally cured” product. Our Wild Cherrywood Smoked Bacon has no added nitrites or nitrates other than those occurring naturally from sea salt and celery juice.

Are Nueske’s products wet or dry cured?
We use the Nueske family’s traditional brine recipe to wet cure our signature smoked meats.
