I bought some snack tray honey ham,cheddar, and butter crisp crackers no where doest the package state the meat was smoke flavor. I would not had bought it . I don’t like smoke flavor items . Please consider making sure it’s on the labels . I hate that I wasted my money for this item .

After reviewing uncover film of the atrocious manner in which you slaughter your pigs and the treatment of them in the actual slaughtering process, I would not purchase your product if I, and my family were starving. Apparently you have no conscience. Would you like your family pet treated in such an inhumane manner, I think now.
Your company along with Purdue and Tyson should be shut down completely. I wonder if the executive and the overseers of your slaughter plants have EVER taken the time to walk through and observe.
