Schnucks brand fresh beef, pork, and chicken contain zero preservatives or other additives, and we never use artificial preservation techniques to extend the appearance of freshness. Some stores do! Our meat departments cut and grind meats in-store to ensure premium freshness. Some cut or grind meat elsewhere, add preservatives, and then have the meat shipped to their stores. We deliver freshness over the counter, not over the road.

THE SCHNUCKS DIFFERENCE
 

Schnucks takes a UNIQUE stand to EXCEED the strictest food safety and freshness preservation standards. Not just meeting but exceeding—that’s The Schnucks Difference. Here are just a few examples:
 

Zero preservatives or additives, like salt or water, are added to Schnucks brand fresh meats.

Pork Chop Schnucks brand fresh meats don’t need ingredient statements because they’re 100% meat.

 

Schnucks never uses artificial preservation techniques to portray the appearance of freshness in fresh meats. Some do.

Schnucks cuts meats in-store daily to ensure freshness. Others have meat cut remotely and then shipped to their stores.

Schnucks offers Certified Angus Beef® steaks and roasts. The Certified Angus Beef® brand of beef passes 10 more specifications for quality than USDA* Choice. This designation ensures that you always enjoy flavorful, tender, juicy cuts of beef. Not everyone offers this premium type of beef.

Our store-made sausages are always fresh—never frozen—using only fresh meats and our own signature recipes.

Schnucks meat departments grind beef multiple times daily right in our stores. Others offer pre-packaged, preserved ground beef that’s later shipped to their stores.

*USDA is an acronym for the United States Department of Agriculture
