  • Did A.C. Legg, Inc. change recipes with their new packaging?
    A.C. Legg, Inc., is excited to celebrate 100 years of business in 2023. While our new packaging and logo are reminiscent of the original look developed by Mr. A.C. Legg, we are proud to say our recipes have not changed since 1923.
  • Is your product allergen-free?
    We have a strong Allergen Control Policy to help ensure that blends containing allergens do not become a source of contamination to non-allergen blends. As per USDA/FDA regulations, all food manufacturing facilities must include any of the Big 9 allergens on their product labels [Milk, Eggs, Fish (such as bass, flounder, cod), Crustacean Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp), Tree Nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans), Peanuts, Wheat, Soy, and Sesame]. A.C. Legg, Inc., only has six allergens present in inventory (Milk, Egg, Tree Nuts, Soy, Wheat, and Sesame). Of those six allergens, we do not carry any ingredients containing peanuts; however, we do have tree nuts that are seldom used in custom blends. All allergens are stored in their original packaging on racks below non-allergens in our storage areas. During our blending process, allergens are run at the end of production, and the machines are sanitized immediately following an allergen run (and between two different allergen runs, also). Along with our internal audits, we have a third party auditor who inspects our facility at least annually to confirm our Allergen Control Policy is being followed to avoid cross-contact and that our products are safe.

  • If making less than 25 LBS of meat, how much seasoning do I use?
    Our rule of thumb for most products is one level tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat.

    Seasoning Per Pound of Meat
    1 pound of meat : 1 level tablespoon seasoning
    4 pounds of meat : ¼ cup seasoning
    8 pounds of meat : ½ cup seasoning
    12 pounds of meat : ¾ cup seasoning
    16 pounds of meat : 1 cup seasoning
  • Should I add cure to Legg’s Signature Blends?
    Our products do not include cure in the seasoning blend. If the product is intended to be cured, the cure will need to be added separately. You can find more information on processing with cure on the USDA website below.

  • Do I need to add water when manufacturing sausage?
