Halal food company Saahtain shipped its millionth Tayyib brand Halal Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) to Mersin port, Turkey in March. The meals are sent to feed refugees in Aleppo, Syria, supporting a major food aid initiative by an alliance of Australian, Turkish, Malaysian and Singapore based Muslim charities.

Saahtain is a proud UAE pioneer in the GCC and has supported Muslim charities and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives globally since 2014. The company counts blue chip corporates like HSBC, Citibank, PepsiCo amongst the clients which have successfully executed effective CSR campaigns with the Tayyib Halal MREs. It has also worked with leading charities like Dubai Charity, UAE Red Crescent, Muslim Aid Australia and Haji & Mu'tamer's Gift Charity, Saudi Arabia.

"We see ourselves as a growing member of the UAE's Islamic economy," says Saahtain CEO Adeel Khan, "Our business solves many pain points in the halal food sector. From feeding Muslim travellers to halal humanitarian food relief, we are at the forefront delivering innovative solutions".

Saahtain is the only producer of halal ready-to-eat meals in the Gulf region and provides over 90 international recipes, many of them with three years' shelf life. Its unique and proprietary methods of preserving natural food were used in 2015 to support a leading NGO in Abu Dhabi in preserving excess food from the hospitality sector. Such technology can support food bank initiatives in the region. In addition to its humanitarian food relief brand Tayyib, Saahtain has halal MREs for Muslim travellers called AlGourmet.
