Commonly Asked Holiday Roast Questions

Q: How do I cook the brownie in the Feast?
A: Just thaw 1 hour prior to serving!

Q: Shoot, my roast is supposed to be frozen but it’s being refrigerated. Is it safe to eat?
A: If the front of the box says “keep refrigerated/ok to freeze” you are good to go. If it says “keep frozen” it should be stored frozen but can be thawed 90 days before consumption. Contact your store manager if you think the product was stored incorrectly.

Q: Where are the instructions located?
A:The instructions are either located on the outside flap that tucks into the box, or on the outside of the box depending on when your product was made. You can also find roast cooking instructions here.

Q: How long can I thaw my roast before it goes bad?
A: Our roast can be thawed 90 days prior to consumption.

Q: Do you ship direct?
A: We cannot ship directly to consumers but foodservicedirect.com and gtfoitsvegan.com carry some of our products and will ship direct. You can also order online at tofurky.com/find-a-store using the “find online” section.

Q: Can I refreeze my roast?
A: We do not recommend refreezing your roast once it’s been thawed.

Q: How do I reheat my roast?
A: We recommend reheating in either a crock pot, or in the oven. If you choose to go with a crock pot, add some sort of liquid (veggie stock, apple/orange juice, etc). Just enough to create moister while it reheats. If you oven roast it, add your liquid frequently with a spoon.

Do you use Genetically Modified or GMO Ingredients in your products?

GMO = NO!

The Tofurky Company has been a long time opponent of the use of genetically engineered foods (aka “foods produced using biotechnology.) We vigorously source certified non-genetically engineered ingredients from all of our suppliers. Everyone deserves to know what’s in their food. We only use non-GMO ingredients, period.

Can I freeze my Tofurky products?

Yep, freeze 'em up - they should be good for up to one year.

Are Tofurky products organic?

Our tempeh product are organic! The rest of our plant-based meats use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Our soy and five grain tempeh cakes are USDA certified organic. Our flavored tempeh products are also made with organic soybeans.

What is tempeh and should it have black spots?

Tempeh is a fermented soy product -- a cultured cake of soybeans and/or grains. Black “spots” on your tempeh (and white stuff in-between) are both mold, entirely normal and perfectly edible.

Tempeh is a fermented soy product, inoculated with Rhizophus oligosprorus, which is the species of mold used to ferment tempeh and bind the beans together. After we inoculate and incubate the beans, we steam the tempeh before we package, refrigerate and ship our tempeh. Tempeh’s fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher protein content, dietary fiber and vitamins compared to tofu, as well as firmer texture and stronger flavor. Because of its nutritional value, tempeh is used worldwide in vegetarian cuisine.

Can I eat un-cooked Tofurky products?

Cook up those products, they'll taste better and we like that.

Is this a Tofurky Deli Slice or some delicious Plant-Based Chick’n? Yes, scarf them down chilled or cooked.

Is this any other Tofurky product? No, heat that thing up to an internal temperature of 165 F degrees.
