About specialty foods

Specialty foods are distinctive, often small-batch products defined by region, tradition, method or diet: farmstead and aged cheeses, charcuterie and cured meats, smoked fish, artisan breads and baked goods, traditional regional dishes, kosher, halal, vegan or gluten-free specialties, and farm products.

Many of these foods are perishable and need refrigeration, so delivery is often limited to nearby areas, shipped fast with cold packs, or offered for local pickup. Producers usually explain how their foods are made and how to store and serve them.

Perishable and animal-based foods are among the most regulated food products. Producers need to follow local rules on permits, handling, labeling and cold-chain shipping.

Buying specialty foods

  • Check whether the product is perishable and how it will be kept cold in transit.
  • Make sure someone can receive perishable deliveries promptly and refrigerate them.
  • Read ingredients, allergens and any dietary certifications.
  • Check storage instructions and use-by dates on arrival.
  • Look for local pickup from producers near you for the freshest results.
