True Nature Meats – Knowledge Base

What kind of meat can I buy?

We offer premium beef, chicken, and pork, all chef-seasoned and fully cooked for your convenience. Our steaks are precision-cooked sous-vide to a rare core, ready to finish with a quick 60-second sear at home.

Where does our meat come from?

Our meats are sourced from trusted ranches and suppliers. All our partners raise animals with care using responsible practices.

What is the quality of our beef?

Our beef is pasture-raised and selected for marbling, flavor, and consistent quality.

Do you sell lab-grown meat?

No. We sell real, naturally raised meat with no lab substitutes.

Is the meat precooked?

Yes! All our meats are chef-seasoned and sous-vide cooked. Steaks are precision-cooked sous-vide to a rare core and flash-frozen — ready to finish at home with a quick 60-second skillet sear to your preferred doneness. Chicken, wings, and smoked pork cuts are fully cooked and ready to heat and eat in 2–3 minutes.

Are your meats keto-friendly?

Yes. High in protein, low in carbs. Check the label for macros that fit your diet.

Are your meats gluten-free?

Most are! Some items, like our Teriyaki and Spicy Pork, contain soy sauce (which includes wheat). We’re working on a gluten-free tamari alternative.

Do your products contain soy or peanuts?

• Soy: Used in some sauces. Always clearly labeled.
• Peanuts: Not currently used, but cross-contamination is possible. If you have severe allergies, consult your doctor before ordering.

What are "renderings"?

Renderings are the flavorful juices released during cooking, also known as drippings or au jus. They add flavor and help keep meat juicy when reheating.

Why do sodium levels seem high?

Because our meats are pre-seasoned and cooked, they naturally have more sodium than raw cuts. It's part of what our meals give their chef-crafted flavor.

How is the meat shipped?

Your order is:

• Vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen
• Packed with insulation and dry ice
• Delivered frozen or chilled, ready to store or serve

What if my meat arrives cold but not frozen?

Every box is packed with sub-zero dry ice designed to keep your cuts rock-solid during transit. If severe carrier delays cause your package to arrive warm or thawed above refrigerated temperatures (40°F), our Zero-Melt Guarantee has you covered — contact support within 48 hours and we will replace or credit your order.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the continental U.S. only.

When does my meat arrive?

Orders typically take 2–3 business days to process before shipping. Once shipped, your order should arrive within 1–2 business days. We ship Monday–Thursday to help ensure freshness, and you’ll receive tracking information as soon as your box is on the way. Pro tip: Orders placed late Wednesday through Sunday may begin processing the following Monday.

Shipping Holidays

We follow major FedEx shipping holidays, including:

• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day
• New Year’s Day
• Independence Day

How should I store my meat?

• Frozen: Up to 12+ months in the freezer with zero freezer burn thanks to heavy-duty, commercial-grade vacuum sealing (USDA notes vacuum-sealed meat lasts safely even longer).
• Refrigerated (unopened): 7–10 days.
• Opened: Use within 3–5 days. Store in airtight containers for optimal freshness. Do not refreeze open and completely thawed meat.

Best way to thaw?

Move your MEATS from freezer to refrigerator. They’ll be thawed and ready in 1–2 days.

Stovetop is best!

1. Preheat a skillet or pan on medium heat.
2. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan.
3. Add meat with the sauce.
4. Cover with lid to trap moisture.
5. Stir occasionally until it’s hot.

For best results, reheat right before eating, not hours in advance.

Can I microwave the meat?

You can, but a stovetop is better. If microwaving:

• Reduce power to 50%
• Heat in short intervals
• Stir often to prevent overcooking

Can I set up a subscription?

Yes! Choose one-time orders or set up a recurring subscription with flexible 15, 30, 45, or 60-day deliveries. Subscribers save 20% on their first box and 10% on every recurring order.

Why is there a minimum of $90?

To ensure quality shipping and packaging, we require a $90 order minimum.

What if my discount code isn’t working?

• Codes are one-time use
• Cannot be combined

Do you accept EBT?

Not yet, but we’re working on it!

Why does your meat cost more than grocery store meat?

Our pricing reflects:

• Chef-crafted recipes
• Premium cuts
• Clean ingredients
• Direct delivery to your door

You’re getting restaurant-quality meals, ready in minutes.

Is your packaging BPA-free?

Yes. All packaging is FDA and USDA compliant and BPA-free.

Why does the label mention 12–14% juices?

We use sous-vide cooking, which locks in natural juices and tenderness. The liquid includes renderings, sauces, and seasoning, it’s part of what makes our meat so flavorful.

Why does cooked weight differ from raw weight?

Meat loses water and fat during cooking. For example, briskets can lose up to 50% of their weight. We list the cooked weight, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Are your meats Halal or Kosher?

Not currently.
