J&M Halal MRE Products And Packaging

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 it comes to providing food, service is often key. When it comes to emergencies, it is important for these products to be delivered as quickly as possible. If not, FEMA and other organizations can often run into issues like those found during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In this, and other cases, had food or water been delivered more quickly, there may have been fewer casualties, injuries or looting.

Each main entree contains 1200 calories. While there are calories associated with the condiments, these are not included in the 1200 calorie count. The tightly packed pouches have enough nutrients to feed troops at war, victims of a natural disaster and emergency personnel. It should be noted that while foil packages are good for several years, not all products in an assembled have this same shelf life.

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.

As most products are commercially based brand name food items, chances are the MREs have gone through some form of inspection. If products are being shipped to Islamic countries, it is important to note that these products must also be Halal certified. Now that J&M focuses on a faster delivery method, it is important any shipping company verify this certification before delivering food to those living or serving in Islamic based regions.

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.
