Our Halal Policy

We at AJ Meats have been in business for a long time and have been providing services for the sale and processing of a wide range of Halal meats since the beginning. In accordance with Islamic principles, our halal meats are processed safely and with respect.

Throughout the years, we have developed strong relationships with our clients, and they have faith in us and our company. They are aware that if we label our meat as Halal, it indicates that it is 100% Halal and that we adhere to all stringent regulations to ensure that our meat is only Halal. We work closely with our suppliers of freshly slaughtered meat to make sure that all Halal criteria are met, and we have a strong understanding with them.
