Order foodShipping FAQ
When the package arrives

Open the box, check your items, and refrigerate or freeze right away. Keep items sealed until ready to use.

Freezer storage

Keep products sealed to reduce freezer burn, moisture loss, and odor transfer between foods.

Reheating cooked items

Thaw completely and microwave gently. Air fryer, oven, or grill can be used lightly, but overheating can dry the food.

Raw items

Raw items such as Gio Song must be fully cooked before eating. If unsure, call/text 469-644-4086.
