Have you ever wondered how that yummy beef got to your table?  Beef production, processing, and packaging are regulated and compulsory compliance is required by all meat producers and sellers in the UK.

We’ve all become used to cooking and eating at home due to the pandemic and nowadays more people than ever are working from home.  We cook more meals in our kitchens or in our barbeques.

So, it’s dinner time, it’s been a whirlwind of a day and you have just realized that you forgot to take out the mince!  Whilst it’s always better to properly defrost meat in the refrigerator in time to use, don’t fear, you can still cut frozen meat and save the day. 

Having a great butcher is a huge asset. The best kind of butcher is one that is trustworthy, has great cooking tips, and most importantly has great quality meat which adheres to Halal law.

If you’re like most people, you’re unaware of which beef cut is the healthiest. You may even think you should cut out beef altogether. The truth is that any kind of food is ok to include in a healthy diet in moderation.

During the holy month, praying, fasting, and reflecting are the central elements of Ramadan and we believe you should be able to focus your energy on that which is important, rather than distract yourself with Iftar meal planning.

It’s time for summer, so let the grilling commence!  While grilled meats are tasty, lower in fat and calories than fried counterparts, and packed with essential nutrients, there are hidden dangers because meat poses a risk to your health that you may not be aware of.

After fasting during the month of Ramadan, people tend to overcompensate and eat more than usual to “make up” for the irregular meal times over the past 30 days. Whilst it may be tempting to feast on Tariq Halal meats, you should exercise discipline when first rejoining a regular diet if you wish to stay healthy.

The taste of meat can be down to personal preference. You might prefer different types of meat or different cuts of meat. You might prefer chicken over beef, sirloin over rump or legs over thighs.

Food safety is an important part of frozen food delivery in ensuring meat is delivered to you safely.  Freezing food prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. When frozen meat begins to defrost, bacteria grows on the meat and sometimes multiplies at a rapid rate.
