What You Need To Know About Halal MRE

By Carolyn Brooks


Everywhere in the world the Islamic culture is infecting everyone and everything, including new words and phrases. Two such phrases that are becoming more salient in the Western World is halal and haram, basically meaning allowed and forbidden respectively. You may have seen halal MRE in stores or even online, or if you are in the military, may have seen some of your mates eating it. After seeing what it is, you are probably wondering what it is.

Halal food of any kind is basically food that is prepared in a prescribed fashion by Muslim clerics following strict procedures and guidelines. You cannot just put a label and sell it to any Muslim, as most people of the faith will know if it is really genuine or not. This is because some halal foods are required to show the source, the way it was prepared and how the whole thing was processed together.

Halal food will general not contain any pork or preservatives which can include monosodium glutamate or MSG. Neither will it have any blood particles or alcohol mixed in it. Gelatin if ever used, will not contain animal based ingredients. Main ingredients will always include fresh vegetables and fruits, cereals and grains, select spices and herbs as well as dairy products that are considered clean.

The food of today, including even fast foods and popular mainstream Western fare like pizza are now being prepared the this way to jump on the seeming bandwagon effect of people liking this food more as more convert to Islam as a way of life. It has also become a lucrative business of selling this kind of prepared food. Most will say however, that with the move towards this kind of preparation, it will make food more expensive.

Trend worthy or not, this explosion of halal inspired ways of living has also affected other products such as clothing and even cosmetics. Tourism has also been affected in some Middle Eastern destinations in which hotels do not sell alcohol or pork and have separate facilities for men and women.

This movement has also affected the way that the US Military operates, in terms of the provision of Meal Ready to Eat packs prepared in this fashion. In the end you are supposed to be getting something healthier, but also something more expensive as posited earlier in this article, as the procedures of course entail more time and effort in preparation.

According to those who eat MRE that is halal, they say that it is much more healthier when compared to the standard MRE. This is because this MRE does that contain MSG, asparteme, trans fats, sucralose and other ingredients which have a high sugar content. A soldier that eats this healthier MRE will in theory be less fatigued and jumpy in combat situations due to the exclusion of the prohibited and unhealthy ingredients.

Whether or not this type of product is for you will really depend on how much you want to try it or like it, but also how much you are willing to spend. Standard packs may cost anywhere from ten to thirty percent more expensive in terms of price when compared to the ordinary MRE.
