When one refers to halal meals it means meat and poultry that has been slaughtered by a trained butcher according to the specifications of Islam. It also refers to any processed foods such as breads, yogurts and sweets that do not have ingredients that are considered forbidden. In the past companies did not have the knowledge and experience, but nowadays halal rations are of high quality and are packed with a variety of meals.

There are pre cooked meals that are being prepared for multiple uses. These are distributed at schools, refugee camps, shelters and in the army corps, and can be bought for camping and holiday purposes. Many Muslim followers make use of these meals when traveling by air. The packs that can be heated and immediately eaten can stay fresh for about twenty four months and others have expiry dates of up to five years.

There are a number of stores that sell these packets as all inclusive meals that combine sweets, snacks, drinks and main meals in one. The most convenient main meals are pasta that is also served with vegetables, chicken and pasta sauces. Fruits and nuts, oats and fruit bars, chocolate bars, jelly sweets and mints make up snacks. There are fruit powdered drinks and hot chocolate powders too. In addition to all of these are teabags, sugar packets, coffee sachets and chewing gum.

The main meals are packaged separately in durable pouches that can be heated in boiled water or in microwaves. One can also cut them open and heat the contents over a stove of fire. Packages of high quality will also include disposable eating utensils like spoons and a pair of napkins. These higher quality packages weigh up to three pounds each.

The producers of these meal combos keep their eyes on nutrition as well as cost effectiveness. In terms of nutrition they ensure that the correct amount of calorie intake per person per day is met, as well as sugar, fiber and fat intakes. The main meals vary from Asian style noodles, rice and gravy, vegetables and gravy, steaks and other beef cuts. Breakfasts are usually high protein porridge.

Companies offering these halal friendly food portions have to keep humanitarian and emergency times in mind. Due to this they provide meals that have a long shelf life and that can be distributed in a short time with little to no damage. Meals are also clearly marked to assure the people who are consuming them, that what they are eating is indeed fine with their religious beliefs.

A number of producers have taken it to the next level and are now producing seven day rations in one pack. Not only has it eliminated waste, but has come in very handy during the humanitarian aid initiatives that the world has seen in the recent months. It was produced keeping in mind those stoves and kitchen utensils may not be available, therefore items had to be adapted.

It is estimated that the current need for halal food rations is seventy percent. These packs will be clearly marked with stamps of certification and ingredients will be listed. Customers who buy these, people in need who receive these and soldiers who make use of these as meals are assured of its contents.
