All our products that bear the “gluten free” claim, as well as the facilities manufacturing these products, are under supervision from a qualified third-party certifier, GFCO (Gluten Free Certification Organization). Each facility is subject to an annual inspection by trained auditors. Our standards pertain to GFCO’s strict standards and requirement, which include employee training, gluten testing of high-risk ingredients, and gluten testing of finished product per production lot/batch/run. Additionally, in between runs, all equipment is cleaned thoroughly following food industry standards; then protein and/or gluten testing of equipment surface contact is performed prior to start of production to verify cleanliness. The gluten limit for all testing is 10ppm. This limit is lower than FDA’s criteria for using “gluten free” claim, which is 20 ppm.

We think Non-GMO Project Verified Expeller Pressed Canola Oil is the best choice for frying since it is heat tolerant and high in healthy monounsaturates.

We can confirm that there is no alcohol present in any of our products.

All of our livestock are Zabihah or hand-slaughtered individually by a Muslim reciting the tasmiya and the takbir in a very mindful and traditional way—making sure to ask for mercy from our creator and treating the animal as humanely as possible. In this manner, we believe the quality and purity of the meat harvested is much cleaner since all the impurities are diligently drained and since the animal is not under stress. Our consumers overwhelmingly tell us that our all-natural halal meat has an amazingly better taste, texture, and freshness that is far superior to the quality of commercial meat sourced from factory farms which machine slaughter their livestock. Our mission is ethical consumerism and to learn more about why we don’t like factory farming, please watchFood Inc.

We source from family owned and local sustainable farms, including Amish farms. For our lamb, we only use livestock that have never been administered hormones and been pasture-raised and grass-fed in open fields. For our poultry, they are totally antibiotic-free.

Halal Certification is the process of having a qualified, independent third party supervise the production of consumables and harvesting of livestock, attesting that they were completed in conformity with the preparation and ingredient qualifications of the highest halal standards. Our products are halal certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America.
