At Eat Savage we use high quality meats.  Below is a breakdown.

• CHICKEN:
• ♦ Our Chicken Breasts are Ontario Grown, Mennonite Raised, Free Range, Growth Hormone and Antibiotic Free
• ♦ Our Chicken Thighs, Legs and our Ground Chicken are all Durham Region Grown and are Cage Free, Organically Fed & Growth Hormone, Steroid and Antibiotic Free

NOTE: All broiler chickens (aka those raised for meat) in both Canada and the US must be steroid free.  They must also be free from added hormones.  In addition, all broiler Chickens that are raised on either Canadian or US Farms must be at a minimum Free Run aka raised Cage Free in barns with specific requirements including the ablilty for the chickens to move around and spread their wings. It's the law!  Broiler Chickens are NOT ever living in cages. 

On the contrary, egg laying hens can be legally raised in cages with less room to move and so cage free, free run or free range eggs are important to purchase. Spent Fowl is a term for battery chickens that can no longer lay eggs. This type of meat can be imported into Canada. We do not use imported chicken, battery chickens or spent fowl.

When we deliver the bone broth it is shelf stable which means that it doesn't require refrigeration until it is opened.  It has been pressure canned and the contents are now under vaccuum.  If you freeze the jars like this, they will break!!  Don't do it!  It's not neccisary.  

After you open the jar, you should finish it within the week.  It must be refrigerated after opening.  If you can't finish it within the week, feel free to freeze the remainder in ice cube trays and store in zip lock bags in the freezer.

• - You can reheat in a frying pan on the stove
• - If using a microwave, the best way is to reheat is on the "reheat" setting on your microwave or at 50% power for 3 or 4 minutes. You may place the lid loosly on top of the container for the best reheat as that keeps the moisture in.
• - Full power microwave re-heating is not recommended
