Check out our product locator to find Sugardale products in your area.

Below are two examples of the sell by dates on our packaging:

Unfortunately, the UPC code won’t provide us with enough information to determine the Best If Used By date. If you’re able to photograph the information or read the LOT number or letter, that will help us determine a more accurate date. You can contact us using the link below.

If there’s a Sell By date on the ham it may be used seven days past. If the product has a Best If Used By date, it won’t be safe to eat after that date. However, products may be frozen prior to the Best If Used By date.

We can’t recommend consuming any Sugardale meats after the Best If Used By date, unless you’ve frozen the product prior to the Best If Used By date.

We follow the USDA website guidelines for refrigerated foods. Their helpful food safety guide can be found at the link below.

If the Sugardale product is in its sealed, original packaging and the Best If Used By date has not passed, it should still be good. Enjoy!

We cannot recommend eating products that have been stored outside of refrigeration for any length of time.

Food stored constantly at 0°F will always be safe. Only the quality suffers with lengthy freezer storage.

We don’t recommend freezing leftovers.

All Sugardale products are gluten free – even our hams with glaze packets!

While you should always read the label for additional ingredients, all Sugardale products are gluten free and free of the Big-9 allergenic foods, including milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sesame.

While we love interacting with our customers, in order to maintain the highest level of food safety, we don’t provide tours of our facilities.

All products are processed at our facilities in Ohio.

Sugardale hams are fully cooked. All you need to do is heat your ham, and it’s ready to eat. Check out our ham guide at the link below.

To Glaze Ham: Remove ham from the oven 10 minutes before the end of heating time. Turn temperature up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Glaze ham with the enclosed glaze and return ham to the oven to finish heating.
