Things You Need To Know About Halal MRE

By Martha Perry


Our constantly shrinking world has made it possible that many faiths and ideas are shared across borders as not done before. A case in fact is the wider spread of the faith of Islam and its practices, particularly in what it sees things as being forbidden or not. The concepts of halal and haram, allowed and forbidden, are something that many are now becoming more familiar with. And while on your field exercises, you may have seen your Muslim brothers eating Halal MRE, and you are wondering what this can be.

When applied to food, the term or concept of halal means that the food is prepared in such a way as prescribed by a Muslim cleric or priest, and thus safe to eat by the faithful. On food, it means more than just a label that has been stuck on there, for a real Muslim will know if certain foods are halal or not. A food that is labeled as such must show the origin of the ingredients, the way that it has been prepared and its overall procedure in processing.

The food prepared in this way, will follow the Islamic tenet of not eating any pork at all. Thus it will not include any pork derivatives, or anything that will hint of blood or alcohol. MSG and animal based gelatins are also not included in this kind of food preparation. It will always have foods and vegetables, herbs and spices, dairy products, cereals and grains.

Western food, including fast food favorites and mainstream fare, are also being prepared the halal way in selected countries and territories. This is because not only is it due to rising demand, but also because it makes for a lucrative business as well. The cost of making it is quit high also, so it means that halal food may be a more expensive as well.

Consumer items such as clothing and cosmetics are now also being processed according to these same procedures as well. In terms of tourism, many hotels follow halal procedures, or allowed procedures in terms of segregating men and women and not offering alcohol on the menus.

The US military has not been immune to this global movement either., especially in the way that it is now preparing Meal Ready to Eat packs. It is expected that in the end what you will be getting is something a lot more healthier but a lot more expensive as well due to the aforementioned stricter preparation procedures.

The MRE prepared in this way will not have certain specific ingredients. They will not contain MSG or asparteme, sucralose and a majority of preservative sugars, and also will not have any trans fats. The lack of these ingredients in theory will make the soldier be less fatigued and less jumpy on the field of battle.

Determining whether this kind of product is for you or not really boils down to how much more you are willing to spend. The standard MRE will cost much less, about thirty percent much cheaper than this kind of MRE, but remember it will also be a lot less healthier.
