Tayyib meals are 100% halal, 100% natural & highly nutritious meals that are ready to eat which require no special storage, or a chilled environment for transportation. The shelf life of each meal is over 2 years at room temperature; because we are using the same technology NASA uses to develop its food for space. Manufactured in the UAE, Tayyib ingredients are locally sourced.  The successful Saahtain Foods' research and development team helped launch, at DIHAD, the world's first date porridge. With long shelf life packaging, local UAE dates have been used to create this nutritious blend of high energy porridge.

"Innovation in the Humanitarian sector truly makes us a social enterprise," stated Adeel Khan, CEO of Saahtain Foods. "We bring private sector excellence in to the strategies of leading non-profit organizations and the Corporate Social Responsibility efforts of leading corporates across the region."

He went on to state:

"DIHAD is a very important platform for us, we are strong believers in the strategic and geographical location of UAE for humanitarian & development work. We are really excited to be using the highly nutritious dates of the region; it was an obvious choice for our next product launch."

Saahtain Foods will shortly begin its annual drive to partner with local and UK based charities to use sacrificial 'Adahi' meat and produce a complete ready-to-eat rice-based meal, that can then be sent efficiently to remote parts of the world, without having to be frozen, to feed the most vulnerable communities.
