Where do products come from?

Town Talk partners with numerous suppliers from several levels of the food industry and purchases from manufacturers, distribution centers, warehouse intermediaries, transportation companies, brokerage firms and independent distributors.

What are repackaged items?

Town Talk Foods’ is a certified repackager which means it can purchase, repackage and re-label products according to government regulations. Most of the food comes from well-established restaurants, brands, major food distributors and the oversupply from food distributors. Buying “repackaged” verses “packaged food” provides customers exponential savings that can’t be found anywhere else. The term “repackaged food” means while inventory changes daily, a product is purchased in bulk and then repackaged into smaller retail packages.

What type of products can be found?

The short answer is “everything you can buy at a supermarket.” The items on our shelves are a better value than what’s found at big-box grocery stores. Town Talk Foods sells many organic, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free products, in addition to standard grocery items. Town Talk Foods also carries many natural health and beauty options.

Does Town Talk Foods sell fresh produce?

Yes! Every Saturday, each store has pallets and baskets of fresh produce and other great finds. The Town Talk Foods team buys the freshest produce from local suppliers each Friday to ensure the best selection possible for its Saturday markets.

Should customers be concerned about expired food?

“Best by” and “use by” dates are not an indication of how long a food is safe to eat. Rather those dates are how long a product will keep at its best quality. If stored properly, a food product should be safe, wholesome and of good quality after its use by or best by date.

What is Food Dating?

Town Talk frequently purchases items that are close to going “out of date” and then sells those items past their Best By dates. One such example is in the case of meats and lunch meats; Town Talk will purchase the product before it goes out of date, freeze it and then sell it at their retail location. Town Talk does not erase or alter the date; it sells the product as is. We feel that because the best by date may be past, it mainly affects the quality or taste of the product. To our knowledge the only instances that the FDA specifically addresses the selling of out of date food is when a product makes a particular claim such as in Baby Formula and in some baby foods. Town Talk does not purchase or sell either baby food or baby formula that is expired or out of date.
