Frequently Asked Questions

When do you ship? We ship once a week on Wednesdays. Orders placed by Monday 8:00 PM will be processed and shipped that same week. We do not accept orders on Tuesdays or Wednesday mornings.

Who handles the packing? We handle all the packing ourselves. We do not collaborate with other companies for the packing and shipping of our products.

We do not refrigerate our products during transportation due to the use of a double pasteurization method. This method ensures that our products remain shelf-stable without the need for cooling. The double pasteurization process involves subjecting the product to two rounds of heat treatment to eliminate harmful bacteria and microorganisms, thereby extending its shelf life.

Thanks to this pasteurization method, our products can be safely transported without refrigeration. Even in the case of delays in the transportation process, the quality and safety of our products remain intact. However, it is important to note that once the products are delivered to you, it is advisable to promptly remove them from the box and place them in the refrigerator to maintain their optimal shelf life, as indicated in the instructions on the packaging.

We highly recommend ordering well in advance if you intend to fast or follow a specific bone broth program. While we strive to meet your desired delivery date, we cannot guarantee that the order will be delivered on the exact day and date you have chosen.

It is crucial to consider potential delays that are beyond our control, such as unforeseen logistics challenges or transportation issues. To avoid disappointment, we advise placing your order well in advance, allowing sufficient time before you commence your fasting period or begin your program.

Warmer weather presents additional challenges. Especially when it comes to transporting food. Even if it does not need to be refrigerated during transport. We prefer to refrigerate our products to preserve the quality of the gelatine (collagen).

Therefore, during the warmer days (+20 C) we use 100% ECO-friendly cooling bags. These bags are reusable and fully recyclable. The packaging is made of kraft and is filled with water. When you want to throw away the cooling element, just cut open the bag and pour out the water. The cool packs cool for up to 30 hours.

DHL is an external company. Therefore we cannot change the details of your order once it has been sent. If your order has not been processed yet, you can change or cancel it. This can be done by sending an email to contact@babsbonebroth.com before 9 am.

Our products are packed in glass and are vacuum sealed. Delivery is not refrigerated as our products are not sensitive to temperature variations during transport.

After receiving your order, please place the jars in the refrigerator. This guarantees the best quality of collagen. The gelatine can only form in the refrigerator. The ideal temperature for the optimum shelf life of food in the fridge is between 3 and 4 degrees.

Please note! Do not freeze full jars. The jars can explode or burst in the freezer! Babs is not responsible for damage caused by an incorrect storage method.

Our Broths can also be stored outside of a refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, so long as they are unopened and stored in a cool, dark place, it is safe to consume.
