Current news and internet reports remind us of a growing and strong emphasis on healthy eating, Today’s MAHA movement and MAHA Moms fervently spotlight the importance of quality ingredients in our food supply while keeping artificial flavors and colors out. No matter what personal feelings may exist related to using and promoting the term MAHA (Make America Healthy Again), there really can be no question that consumers benefit from assuring a healthy food supply readily exists for ourselves, our children and our future generations. To that end, we believe our halal J&M® and My Own Meal® shelf stable prepared meals favorably contribute to this goal and invite you to read our ingredients and nutrition panel on each pouch. We enjoy a long history of producing, marketing and promoting healthy meals to consumers, including parents and their children.
Way back in 1987, the Company first introduced its innovative line of fully-cooked, healthy, all-natural meals for children ages 2-10 for parents to serve to their children, both of whom were hungry for this new concept. At the same time, shelf stable prepared meals as a grocery category did not exist and mostly referred to canned goods. Imagine the challenges of marketing to consumers and merchandising in grocery stores our meals in not-yet-understood shelf stable packaging!
Fast forward a decade, our team introduced its line of J&M® shelf stable halal meals for both adults and children. Shelf stable packaging offers convenience and safety in transporting these fully-cooked meals, and because they are not cold it takes only minutes to warm them up in hot water or in a microwave oven. When microwave oven use is not possible for any reason, the convenience to warm them in hot water presents a very attractive alternative.
You can trust that we prepare every delicious halal certified meal using only the highest quality, wholesome ingredients and care. Sink your teeth into succulent well-trimmed lean beef in our Beef Stew and tender chicken in our My Kind of Chicken®. Savor the sweet ricotta cheese in our Florentine Lasagna or enjoy the hearty comfort of our Vegetarian Stew. Or be inspired by some of our newest selections like scrumptious Mushroom Stroganoff and delicious Un-Stuffed Peppers. Just a few of our many tasty meals! We believe you will enjoy, and hope you will try our vegetarian, vegan and many food allergy-friendly options in addition to our meat varieties. Just a few delightful examples of our halal meals!
