Food Safety Considerations

 

You are responsible for the safe handling of all Products upon delivery. We recommend immediately inspecting all Products you receive from us for any defects or other issues, and to determine freshness upon delivery. We pack all shipping containers with insulated liners, gel packs, and/or other items intended to ensure Products are kept in a refrigerated, cold environment during transit, but cannot guarantee that handling during delivery will not shift Products or damage the shipping container or its contents and compromise the refrigerated, cold environment. Therefore, upon receiving your box, you should always promptly inspect all Products contained in your Delivery to confirm that the meal ingredients arrived in a cool, refrigerated condition and the shipping container and its contents are not otherwise visibly damaged. We recommend that you use a food thermometer to ensure that the Product temperatures within the container for any meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and cut produce Products are 40° F or below. In the unlikely event the meat, dairy, and/or cut produce Product temperatures are found to be above 40° F, or you have any other reason to believe that any other Product in your Delivery is not suitable for consumption, immediately contact us at info@irishbreakfastbox.com and we will provide further instruction.

​

To maintain the quality and safety of the Products, we recommend that you refrigerate all perishable Products upon delivery and follow all U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) guidelines on food safety for refrigerated/frozen storage and safe food handling. Cooking instructions outlined in the recipe cards are a suggestion, 

Recipes available on this website may not been formally tested by us or for us and we do not provide any assurances nor accept any responsibility or liability with regard to their originality efficacy quality or safety.

The reader assumes full responsibility for consulting a qualified health professional regarding health conditions or concerns. The writer(s) and publisher(s) of this site are not responsible for adverse reactions, effects, or consequences resulting from the use of any recipes or suggestions herein or procedures undertaken hereafter. We recommend using a food thermometer to verify that the cooking temperatures of all meat and other applicable items meet the USDA’s minimum internal cooking guidelines. We also recommend that you wash all fresh produce under running water prior to using. Failure to follow safe food handling practices and temperature recommendations may increase the risk of foodborne illness. In addition, pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems should follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) recommendations on food consumption for at-risk groups.

All our production facilities actively store, portion, and distribute ingredients that contain all eight major food allergens as determined by the FDA (milk, wheat, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts). While we take precautions to reduce the risk of cross-contamination between ingredients, cross-contamination may unintentionally occur during production and transit which may cause Products to contain some or all of those allergens. Eggs, fish, shellfish, and soy are allergens that are commonly found in many ingredients, especially some of the sauces that may be used in our recipes (fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, etc.). You are solely responsible for identifying and understanding all food allergies you have and evaluating whether or not to consume the Products based on that knowledge. If you suspect that you have an allergic reaction or other adverse health event, immediately contact your health care provider. In addition, due to the variable nature of ingredient availability, nutritional information we provide may differ from published nutritional information.
