1. Are Barber Products all breast meat chicken?
Yes. All Barber Products are made with all white chicken breast meat.

2. Where can I get Barber products, I can’t seem to find them in my area?
You can usually find our delicious chicken products in leading Retailers and Club Stores. If you can’t find them in the freezer case of one of our retail partners click here to download a product request form you print and pass along to the store manager.

3. Can our products be microwaved?
The Barber Food’s Stuffed Chicken Breasts that you purchased are not fully cooked, therefore careful attention must be paid to cooking times to end with a product that is both healthy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, there are so many variations in microwaves sizes, and wattages, that it is difficult to provide instructions that are all encompassing and will cover each variation. With that in mind, we have opted to remove the microwave instructions from our uncooked product and recommend conventional oven cooking.

4. How do I read the date code that’s on every Barber box?
Our date code is in a five-digit Julian Calendar form with the first three digits referencing the day of the year. The fourth number represents the last number in the year. The fifth number tells us which working shift produced the product over at the plant. For example, the date code 31122 would indicate the following:

1. The 311th day of the year.
2. The year 2002.
3. The product was produced during the 2nd shift.

On our two portion boxes the number is imprinted or printed on the side where we post our recipe. The six portion boxes have the number imprinted on the bottom of the box

5. Are Barber Products pre-cooked?
Most of our products are raw and should be cooked thoroughly according to the instructions on the package. In some instances we partially or fully cook the products, which is indicated on the box.

6. Are there really Barbers?
Yes. Barber Foods was founded in 1955 by Gus Barber who oversees the operation with day-to-day responsibilities in the capable hands of his children Steve, Julie and David.

7. Are there any "safe handling" issues I need to be aware of?
As is the case with all food items, especially meat and poultry, it is best to follow simple safe handling guidelines. With Barber Foods products, you should keep them frozen … when necessary, our products should be thawed in the refrigerator or microwave. Be sure to keep raw meat and poultry separate from other foods and always wash work surfaces – and your hands – thoroughly when you are through with preparation. Make absolutely certain you cook the product through and be sure to refrigerate or discard leftovers.

8. I have some food allergies; do your products contain any allergens?
