Q: You say your packaging is 100% compostable, does that mean I can put it in my home compost?

A: Our packaging is currently made from a combination of PLA, a corn derived plastic, and Kraft paper. While it would eventually break down in a home compost, it would take over 1000 years. As such, PLA should be composted in a commercial facility where the breakdown only takes about 3 months. This is why Sassy Birch has implemented its Composting Return-Rewards Program. If you return your empty Sassy Birch Jerky bags to us we will bring them to a composting facility in CT on your behalf, and if you return 10 bags to us we will give you a 10% discount on your next jerky purchase.

Q: I have a severe food allergy, can I safely eat your product?

A: Sassy Birch’s Not Just Jerky ingredients are free from the top 8 allergens (Milk, Eggs, Peanuts, Tree nuts, Fish, Shellfish, Soy, and Wheat). However, we are currently producing in an approved cottage kitchen that regularly uses those ingredients. We take great care and precaution in the cleanliness and avoidance of cross contamination in our production, however the chance of cross contamination still exists. Therefore if you have a severe allergy you should take precautions and consult with your doctor before considering consumption of our products.
