Understanding Halal MRE Products, Packaging And Certification

By Deborah Walker


When an individual thinks of the military or a natural disaster, one often thinks of rations. Rations are prepackaged foods which are ready-to-eat. Whether due to its presence in both Islamic and non-Islamic countries, or its longstanding reputation as a great company, several governmental and other organizations now use this provider. Whatever the case, by providing a Halal MRE to someone in need, the company is most likely saving lives.

J&M, one the primary companies providing these products was founded over eighteen years ago. At the time of its inception, it was created to help the Department of Defense and the military. After which, it also became involved in humanitarian relief efforts and natural disasters. While having taken a brief break, the company is once again shipping product to a number of facilities and locations.

When providing food, drink, housing and other necessities during an emergency, fast deliveries are often essential. Otherwise, individuals in these areas could run into air and food borne illnesses and in some cases, death. For, when individuals are forced to wait on food and water for days, outcomes are not always the best.

While 1200 calories may not sound like a lot of food, it is actually a recommended daily allowance of nutrition. As the condiments accompanying each ration kit is not included in the 1200 calorie count, most imbibe more calories than stated on a daily basis. In fact, the packages hold enough nutrients to feed personnel in a number of different areas. It is important to use each condiment with each meal as condiments have a shorter shelf life than entrees.

While these food packets have along shelf life, most are intended for immediate consumption. In some cases, like members of the military or emergency response personnel, these rations can safely be stored up and until the end-of-life shelf date on the package. Whatever the case, there is no doubt these FREs have and will continue to feed the hungry and save lives.

In most cases, the items in each kit contain brand name commercial products. Unlike old school military rations which were housed for three to four years before being sent to those in need, J&M focuses on a faster delivery method. J&M's delivery method now ships high quality products direct from the company to each individual or group in need of rations.

By hosting ready-to-ship products for immediate use rather than keeping a large inventory in storage, the company also helps cut down cost. A reduction in cost that serves multiple entities from the military and other organizations to taxpayers. One of the best aspects of this process is that those in need are also getting better, fresher meals.

Ultimately J&M and related companies sell products to a variety of government, relief, volunteer and military organizations. In each case, without these rations, lives would most likely be lost either due to disease, hunger, food borne illness or despair. While most of these companies do keep some inventory on hand, it is often best when agencies and organizations can place orders in advance.
