Frequently Asked Questions
BeLeaf products reach foodservice operators primarily through broadline distributors, so most BeLeaf products are not set up for direct purchase on this website. You can add BeLeaf to a standard distributor order through partners such as DOT Foods, US Foods, UNFI, KeHE, and Sysco, or contact BeLeaf directly to request a quote. Visit our Foodservice page for more information.
BeLeaf is integrated into the DOT Foods redistribution network, which supplies regional and national broadline distributors including US Foods, Sysco, and PFG. UNFI and KeHE also carry BeLeaf products for the retail and natural channel. See our Distribution Partners page for details.

BeLeaf products ship frozen and should be thawed using standard commercial food-safety practice: thaw under refrigeration (41°F / 5°C or below), or thaw under cold running water if time does not allow for refrigerator thawing. Do not thaw at room temperature. Specific thawing and cooking instructions are listed on each product's page.
Shelf life varies by product. BeLeaf products are shipped and stored frozen, and shelf life information for each product is listed on its product page under Specifications.
Most BeLeaf products arrive fully cooked and only need reheating or finishing — for example, pan-frying or deep-frying from frozen. Cooking instructions are specific to each product and are listed on that product's page.
It depends on the product. BeLeaf's product line includes items made with soy and wheat protein bases as well as soy-free formats. Allergen information is listed on each product's page under Allergen Information.
Allergen content varies by product. Check the Allergen Information section on each product's page for the specific allergens that product contains or is manufactured alongside.
