Our Heart-Friendly Pita was recently updated to improve the taste and texture.  In addition, the Heart-Friendly Pita is now Heart-Check Certified by the American Heart Association as meeting the criteria for a Heart-Healthy Food.

Our product packages are stamped with a “Julian date” on the front of the bag that reflects the day they were baked. 

This is a five-digit number, i.e. 23001. The first two numbers indicate the year: 23 is for 2023. The last three numbers indicate the day of the year of the 365 days of the year: 23001 is January 1, 2023.

The Julian date should not be confused with the Best By date, which indicates the when the product should be consumed by. If you have a question on a products shelf life, please go here and check the table for the product.

Joseph’s Hot Dog Pita is a seasonal product, so it is only available between Memorial Day and Labor Day, so if you are looking for it outside of that timeframe, you will have to wait until next year. 

In addition, Hot Dog Pita is only sold in stores in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. 

We also only ship to those same states when purchased via Joseph’s online bakery.  If you add it to your cart and do not live in one of those states, you will receive an error message when you try to check out.  You will need to remove the Hot Dog Pita from your cart in order to check out. If you have any questions on this, please our Support Team and we will be happy to follow up with you.

Joseph’s Bakery products can be frozen for up to 1 year and will still thaw out with the same fresh taste! To best maintain the quality of our products, please follow the instructions below when freezing and thawing your pitas, lavash, or wraps.

Freezing:

When you get home with your bread, remove what you will use for the next couple of days and freeze the remaining for optimal freshness. They can be frozen in the package they come in, and you do not need to separate each piece of bread.

Thawing:

Thaw your frozen bread by leaving it on the countertop at room temperature until thawed. You can thaw the bread piece by piece, or you can thaw the whole package at once. You don’t have to remove it from the packaging; it can be thawed in the bag it comes in. Once the product is completely thawed, it is best not to re-freeze it, as this will reduce the product quality.

After thawing, our products will stay fresh at room temperature for between 10-30 days. Please see this article for more information about product shelf lives!

Our product weights may have slight variances but are typically the same weight listed on our product packaging.  

If you have questions or concerns about the size of the products you received, feel free to contact us and we are happy to look into the matter for you!

Yes, all of Joseph’s products are leavened. While our wraps do not contain yeast, they do contain other leavening agents including baking powder and baking soda.

If you have any questions on this, please contact Customer Service, and we will be happy to follow up with you.

Joseph’s products are made in a peanut- and tree-nut-free facility.
