Meal Kits & Accessory Packs
In addition to our individual 10 oz (283g) microwaveable stand-up pouches, J&M® offers full MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) and Meal Kits for organizations that need a complete, self-contained individual meal or ration.
Each J&M® halal certified MRE pairs one meal pouch with a companion accessory pack of brand-name snacks and accompaniments, totaling about 1,200 calories for the military version. Meal Kit calorie counts can be adjusted to your requirements, so programs with different nutritional targets can be accommodated.
MREs and Meal Kits require large volume orders prior to assembly and are not always available to the general public.

How do I place an order for J&M® halal meals?
J&M® does not process credit card payments directly on this website. To order, download the Order Form, complete it, and either fax it to (847) 948-0468, email a scanned copy to sales@halalcertified.com, or call (847) 948-1290. Include a contact phone number so J&M® can collect payment information.
How do I read the lot code and Best Used By date on J&M® MRE and Meal Kit cases?
Each case of J&M® halal MREs, rations, and meal kits has two codes printed on the side: a Pack Date, formatted "PACK DATE: DD MONTH YEAR," showing when it was assembled, and a Best Used By date, formatted "BEST USED BY: MONTH YEAR." Because individual components inside a case may have later Best Used By dates, J&M® uses the earliest date among all components to set the Best Used By date for the entire case. Orders ship First-In-First-Out (FIFO); contact sales@halalcertified.com to confirm current dates before ordering if shelf life is critical, and to learn of availability from inventory or lead time for special orders over Minimum Order Quantities.
