The deli case

The Deli case sits at the back of the store, past the meat wall. It's the sandwich-and-charcuterie half of the shop: sliced ham, roast beef, pastrami and corned beef, pepperoni and salami sticks, bacon, smokies, garlic sausage and a shelf of sliced cheese to go with all of it.

Packed and ready to grab

Everything in the case is pre-sliced and packed, sized around a week of lunches rather than a single sandwich. If you're building for a crowd — a board, a bun tray, a road trip — the sticks and larger packs are on the lower shelves.

Cheese sits with the meats: cheddar, Swiss, marble and processed slices. Block and shredded cheese for cooking are over on the dairy wall instead.

What goes with it

The bakery has the buns, rolls, sliced bread and tortillas. Aisle 2 has the mustard, mayonnaise, pickles and olives. Aisle 1 has the chips. That's a whole lunch assembled from three stops and about four minutes.

In the deli case

  • Sliced ham, roast beef, pastrami and corned beef
  • Pepperoni and salami, sliced and by the stick
  • Regular and thick-cut bacon
  • Smokies, wieners and garlic sausage
  • Sliced cheddar, Swiss, marble and processed cheese

Stock varies week to week. This is what the store reliably carries, not a live inventory.

Questions

The Deli — your questions

Does Irricana Family Foods have a deli?

Yes. There's a refrigerated deli case at the back of the store with sliced meats, sausage, bacon and cheese.

Is the deli meat sliced to order?

The case is stocked with pre-sliced, pre-packed product rather than run as a slice-to-order counter. Ask in store if you need something specific.

Where is the block and shredded cheese?

On the dairy wall, with the milk and eggs. The deli case carries the sliced cheese that goes with the sandwich meats.

Where are the buns and bread?

At the bakery counter — sliced loaves, hamburger and hot dog buns, dinner rolls and tortillas.

How much deli meat do I need per person?

Around 60–90 g (2–3 oz) per sandwich is the usual working figure, so roughly 500 g feeds six to eight sandwiches. For a party tray, plan closer to 100 g a head and add a little.

How long is deli meat good for once opened?

Generally three to five days in the fridge once the pack is opened, kept cold at the back of the shelf rather than in the door. Always go by the date on the pack.

Can deli meat be frozen?

Yes. Freeze it in the unopened pack, or separate slices with parchment so they don't fuse. Texture softens slightly on thawing, which matters less in a hot sandwich than a cold one.

Why does deli meat go slimy?

That film is bacterial growth on the surface, and it means the meat is past it. Slimy, dull-looking or sour-smelling deli meat should go in the bin regardless of the printed date.

Where should deli meat be stored in the fridge?

On a middle or lower shelf at the back, where the temperature is steadiest. The door is the warmest part of a fridge and the worst place for it.
