J&M Halal MRE Products And Packaging

By Deborah Walker


First formed over eighteen years ago, J&M was developed to provide military and other governmental agencies with rations. After a brief break, the Halal MRE and other rations are still provided to governmental organizations, including many military bases around the world. It is important to note that as J&M provides these products to Islamic and non-Islamic countries, those shipped to Islamic locations need be Halal certified.

Having started serving clients over 18 years ago with a focus on emergency, camping and military products, the parent company J&M is now well established. After a brief interruption, the company now has food available to ship to military bases, posts and government agencies. These products are the same quality MREs which have been supplied to humanitarian relief organizations, ICE, DHS, FEMA, United States and other embassies around the world.

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.

Rations are in no way gourmet meals though each package host 1200 calories of nutrition based product. There are also condiments which accompany each food pouch. For those watching caloric intake, it should be noted that the calories within the condiments are not included in this count.

While this is the case, MREs are often intended for use within a year even though most have a shelf life of several years. Originally established to work with the Department of Defense, J&M used to store inventory for three to four years. Now, with the focus on immediate delivery, food is rarely stored for longer than a year at a time.

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.

While there may be no certification required for non-Islamic deliveries, it should be noted that the food and drink delivered were most likely inspected by the FDA or other similar organizations. Still, individuals need take note that the packaging is essential to the life of the product. As such, any torn packaging should be returned for the company of origin for replacement.
