In this second edition of H-MAG, we are proudly to feature THAIFEX 2014 - World of Food Asia as the main theme

in our magazine. This year THAIFEX celebrates its 10th anniversary with yet another milestone – a record-breaking showcase and an impressive international line-up. With more than 60,000 square metres of food, beverages and hos-pitality products and services, THAIFEX is known as Asia’s most influential food and beverage, food technology and retail & franchise trade show.

South East Asia has becoming an important and compet-itive regional market for Halal products, with a vast con-sumer market of 225 million Muslims, fast developing Halal food production and progress on Halal certification.

The presence of “World of Halal” within THAIFEX 2014 – World of Food Asia has been growing across various seg-ments of the show. More than 50% of the food and beverage exhibitors supplies Halal certified products.

Today Thailand is the sixth largest Halal food exporter in the world. The domestic Halal food market in Thai-land grows around 20 percent a year. Out of 30,000 food factories in Thailand now, 8,000 are involved in Halal food production.

Thailand has encouraged production and export of Halal products and foods to Muslim consumers around the world. The current global market value of Halal products and foods is around 100 billion dollars a year. There is potential for Thailand to export more Halal food products and have a greater share of the world food market – considering the country’s strengths in the agricultural sector. Thailand is also developing Pattani, one of the southern border provinc-es, into a Halal industrial center.

“Keep calm, and stay Halal”

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

One of the prides of Thailand is its Central Islamic Committee (CICOT). Ever since its inception

in 1997 by royal decree, CICOT has helped develop Thailand’s Halal standards, certifications, education, and international recognition. Thai Halal companies have been able to increase in number and flourish domestically and internationally due to the holistic approach of CICOT and its programs. CICOT is part of a group of three organizations

in charge of Halal affairs in Thailand: CICOT, the Provincial Islamic Committee of Thailand, and the Committee of Mosques Thailand. There are many organizations under CICOT itself, and H-mag spoke with the Deputy Director of the Institute of Halal Standards Thailand, Mr. Khatahwut Lohmud, to discuss CICOT’s role in the success and progress of Thailand’s Halal sector. “Thailand exports the highest number of Halal

products than any other country in Asia,” says Lohmud proudly. Each year over 10,000 Halal certified products are slated for export to places around the world from Thailand. This is as impressive as the number of Halal certified products sold locally: over 3000 certified companies producing over 100,000 different certified

local products. How has CICOT been so successful in fostering

such a large and growing number of Halal companies and products? “We advise companies not to worry about fees, the application process, or any related difficulties,” explains Lohmud. “We have enacted several programs to help companies maintain high Halal standards. This is why consumers have trust in CICOT’s seal of approval.” These programs include such things as education and training sessions and seminars, assigned consultants to assist in constant compliance with standards, and even 24-hour Halal supervisors for abattoirs (slaughterhouses). Consumers can also stay reassured that inspections and audits are often and rigorous as certification only lasts a year and renewal comes with a guaranteed audit. CICOT also makes certification more approachable by keeping application fees to a minimum: SML (small companies) – 10,000 Baht (≈ US$312), medium-sized companies – 15,000 Baht (≈ US$468), and large/international companies – 20,000 Baht (≈ US$623). With all of this in place, the average time to certification has now reached only 45-60 days. CICOT is also in the process of finishing their online application program to ease

the initial stages of certification. Thailand’s Halal producers have taken regulations

in stride as CICOT has assisted them throughout their certification journey. This has led to 60-70% of Thailand’s Halal products being export. “We can also claim that 100% of Thailand’s exported chicken is Halal because of how we regulate and certify large slaughterhouses to be Halal. These companies are then able to reach places such as Japan, Malaysia, the UK, the UAE, Netherlands, and even Iceland,” Lohmud explains. CICOT has created an amazing organizational

structure to promote the growth and exposure of Thailand’s Halal sector as well as recognition of its high Halal standards to the Thai public and international community. Thailand’s Halal future is in the hands of CICOT and its affiliates, and they have a mindful, positive, and cooperative plan to create an ever expanding and improving Halal reputation.

BUILDING Up THAILAND’S DIAmOND IN THE ROUGH

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Dr. Winai Dahlan Discusses CICOT’s Role in the Halal Industry

Thailand has recently had some top-level political obstacles to overcome lately, but that has not held back many of its organizations from forging

ahead and creating great progress for the South Asian country. Dr. Winai Dahlan graciously gave H-mag a first international look at one of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand’s (CICOT) major developments that will be rolling out in the near future. Dr. Winai Dahlan is one of several vice-presidents of CICOT, and a leading expert in Halal product testing. His research and development team at the University of Chulalongkorn operates within the campus’s Halal Science Center, and has innovated several technologies, techniques, and procedures to provide improved Halal quality control throughout the industry. This has also led to the full scale development of a Halal Forensics Lab under the university’s Halal Science Center. As head of the lab, Dr. Winai Dahlan has been the driving force behind the creation of such innovations as porcine particle testing, Halal food management systems, Halal logistics systems, and even a special soap made from clay that is used to religiously purify and disinfect certain items

contaminated by impermissible non-Halal substances. These advancements in Halal Science have garnered the university’s Halal Science Center many awards and a great amount of recognition since 2006 and as recently as 2012 from international and local organizations. Dr. Winai Dahlan explains CICOT’s plans to expand and increase the recognition of Halal products from Thailand, “We had the idea to rebrand the logo for CICOT certification from foreigners always commenting on the shape of the original logo. Therefore, we created this new logo to reflect not just the shape but the strength of consistent, high Halal standards and the bright future this strength creates.” The shiny diamond inlay is definitely eye-catching and impressive. “This logo will also come with a Thai Halal barcode. Anyone can use their Android device to scan it to find important information about the Halal certification,” continues Dr. Winai. This will be a gradual process that is slated to roll out once Thailand finds a more permanent civil atmosphere. CICOT also plans to improve their auditing process to include education and training for manufacturers and their workers to understand the

importance of the quality of raw materials and techniques.

“This is a full idea to make Thai Halal products more competitive in the global market,” Dr. Winai reiterates. Every year, Thailand’s Halal industry is estimated to grow about 20%. This also comes with CICOT’s encouragement for Thai companies to increase their exports. As Thailand’s exports grow, better and more recognizable branding and system management is needed. Cue CICOT’s Diamond Halal and Thai Halal barcodes to help Thai companies do just that. “We plan on having a system to compare to that of Malaysia’s,” Dr. Winai states proudly. Malaysia already has experience in similar systems; and as neighboring countries, Malaysia and Thailand stand to gain a lot through cooperation as well as good-natured competition as the global Halal market annually reaches into the hundreds of billions of dollars.

for not doing enough to support Muslim businesses. But what is rarely discussed is the obligations Muslim businesses, especially Halal grocery stores, have to the Muslim community. The above-mentioned complaints are not a reflection of all Halal grocery stores. However, the problems outlined cannot be ignored. If Muslim businesses want consistent support of Muslim consumers, they will have to do more to accommodate them and provide better service and prices. New York-based Muslim social scientist Ilyas Bayunus conducted a study in 1998 through which he determined that the Muslim population of the United States was almost 1.2 million individuals. This statistic was then projected to reach over 2 million in by the year 2000. As of 2010, the number has risen to 2.59 million Muslims in the United States alone. There are over 2 billion Muslims worldwide. This indicates the tremendous buying power of Muslims in the cities and states they reside in. In the city of Chicago alone, there are at least 60 Halal retail meat shops that are owned and operated by Muslims.

Currently, this regional Halal meat business makes close to $5 million a year. But the potential profit could be as high as $60 to $80 million. The market hasn't developed for a number of reasons; some of them can be attributed to Muslim consumers, others to Muslim businesses.

Below are some tips on how you can improve the services and profits of your Halal business. This can be applied to all business, not just the meat retail.

be secondary. By making Allah the goal, and

implementing Islamic rules of honesty, truthful-

ness, and good behavior with customers, Insha

Allah, any Muslim business is bound to boom.

2 BE TRUTHFUL AND HONEST

The Prophet said the honest and truthful

businessman will be in Jannah amongst the

Prophets, the Truthful, and the martyrs. Honesty

and truthfulness are essential in this business.

When it comes to Muslim businesses, the proper

way to build a relationship of trust with custom-

ers cannot be done with lies and deceit.

3 BE OPEN TO SCRUTINYAND CRITICISM

While this may be a bitter pill to swallow, being

ready to have your product or business scrutinized

for cleanliness or the “Halal-ness” of its products

indicates a willingness to work with the consumer.

This serves to build trust. For those business people

who may feel hesitant or downright angry with a

Muslim consumer for even asking about the

acceptability of a given product in their store,

remember that this is the right of the consumer.

5 AIM FOR A HIGHERGOAL

Don't just aim to be the only successful Halal

grocery shop in your chosen neighborhood.

Think big. Improve the inventory of your store,

the types of items in it, and strive to find ways to

improve service and profit margins. As well,

look into the possibility of pooling resources

within the Muslim community or with other

shareholders to expand the business.

6 WORK WITH OTHERSIN YOUR MARKET

Yes. This can be very difficult. Finger pointing,

accusations, and nasty rivalry often characterize

Muslim businesses aiming to market the same

products. But this is not the way a Muslim

economy should work.

7 DO NOT SELL HARAMITEMS

While there are more “Muslim” businesses

sprouting up, not everything they sell is Islamic. It is

not difficult to find Muslim owned businesses selling

pork, alcohol, pornographic magazines, while

selling Halal meat on the other. This requires effort

from Muslim business owners to wipe out Haram

products from their shelves and ensure the best of

Halal in their businesses.

4 BE CLEAN!

This is especially important for Halal grocery

stores where the presence of animal blood is

expected. Not being careful of this means not

only lost customers, but also possible sicknesses

from possibly infectious microorganisms in the

blood. The Prophet (peace and blessings be

upon him) said: "Cleanliness invites towards

faith (Iman), and faith leads its possessor to

paradise." (Tabarani)

HALAL ARTICLE

HALAL YEAST FROm THE mIDDLE EAST

Pakmaya is a Turkish, family-owned company established in 1973 whose expertise in several types of yeast is

unparalleled in the region. The name Pakmaya is a derivation: “Pak” is from the family name, and “maya” is Turkish for yeast. Besides this clever moniker however, it is the quality and popularity of their products that has made Pakmaya synonymous with yeast the world over. “When people try our products, they see why,” Oṟҫun Oṟay, technical sales manager for Pakmaya, proudly points out. Pakmaya provides a variety of top quality yeasts for all types of applications: baking, fermentation, dry, instant, fresh, etc. They are always trying to improve and strengthen their brand through the quality of their products. This means they also have recognized the importance of Halal certification. “Nowadays, when you are exporting, especially to countries with a sizable Muslim population, the first question is if your products are Halal certified or not,” says Oṟay. He continues further, “Even if it is not the first thing, because you may be exporting to an area with few Muslims, it is still in the top 3.”

Halal certification has come to mean another level of quality and consumer assurance of any company’s products, and Pakmaya knows that it is the way of the future. Oṟay illustrates the importance of this strategy, “In the future, many countries besides Muslim countries will require Halal certification just because of the growing demand.” Pakmaya’s popularity is also due to the stringent measures taken to ensure hygiene and quality since the company’s inception. Pakmaya’s five product facilities, four in Turkey and one in Romania, have received ISO 9001:2000 certification to prove it. “We believe our yeast is the best in the world, and we put a lot of effort into keeping it that way,” remarks Oṟay. With a capacity of 250,000 tons of fresh yeast equivalent per year and employing over a thousand workers, Pakmaya also boasts being among the world’s largest yeast manufacturers. Besides quality yeast, Pakmaya has had a facility devoted to the production and development of quality pastry and baking improvement products to further bolster the use of its yeast and variety of the brand for over ten years. “We

are always finding new ways to reach new customers and increase the sale of our yeast,” says Oṟay. It’s little wonder that such a powerhouse of a variety of quality items balanced with good pricing and combined with Halal certification has led Pakmaya to reach heights the competition cannot in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and even North America and Australia. “In Turkey, Pakmaya means yeast,” Oṟay reiterates. Soon he will be changing “In Turkey” to “Worldwide” as Pakmaya continues to diversify while maintaining and improving the quality, pricing, and assurance it has always worked for.

COVER STORY

Turkey is already a leader in the durum wheat export arena, but it is quickly becoming a key player in pasta exports as

well. Second only to Italy, Turkey exports 1.8 million tons of pasta per year; and Selva Foods is a major contributor to this growing statistic. 2013 saw Selva’s exports climb to 250,000 tons with local sales in the range of 20-25,000 tons, which helped the company’s turnover reach US$120 million. These impressive figures were made possible by Selva’s concentration on quality and target marketing. Halal certified in Turkey by GIMDES, Selva has made it a point to take advantage of its Halal certification to reach many countries with a large potential for Halal products: Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. How does Halal certification make a difference? “The new generation of consumers is becoming more and more educated, and they are looking for healthier and more acceptable alternatives to their parents’ choices,” explains Serdar Akgüner, foreign trade manager of Selva Foods. Turkey is already keen on making sure as many of its products are Halal, so Selva Foods expanded that enthusiasm to all of its products and exports. Recognizing trends and increasing standards is part of great business, and Selva has gotten a sizable head start. “We believe Halal markets will be much better going forward. It will probably be a must, eventually,” Akgüner remarks further. Improving on trends is what Selva seems to do best. Established in 1988 primarily as a wheat producer, they expanded to pasta in 1993. In 1998 they again changed with the times and completely computerized their pasta production facilities. This has led them to HACCP and ISO 9001 certification, another important trend in ensuring quality and safety. Their wheat mill now outputs 350 tons of wheat and semolina per day, along with 210 tons from their pasta factory. It is obvious that Selva cares about producing quality

food products to meet their customers’ needs, but they still try to go further to ensure that quality all the way to the shelf. They perform inspections and get in contact with distributors and their warehouses to check the conditions of storage and shipping so that quality is not compromised. Humidity can affect wheat flour and foods made from it, and Selva wants to assure consumers of quality and safety. Halal certification is another layer to this. With it, consumers can trust that Selva’s products do not come in contact with undesirable conditions during production, storage, or distribution.

Different countries have different standards. We want stun-free so we

can supply all over the world.

Already a very popular Vietnamese partner of Big E Food Corporation since 2010, Topcake’s cupcakes and cookies

are quickly gaining recognition for being Halal certified as well as tasty. The company’s focus on quality has taught them to make sure to be able to distribute their premium snacks to as many people as possible in as many ways as possible. After two years they obtained Halal certification from the Halal Certification Agency, Vietnam, to further their goals of exporting and sharing. For Topcake, 2014 is looking to be an exciting year of expansion. The company is looking to add several new export areas to take advantage of its new Halal status: China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Topcake is also strengthening the countries it is currently exporting to: Japan, Cambodia, Ukraine, the Maldives, and Russia. Sales for 2014 are projected to reach over 100 billion Viet dong (about US$5 million), a healthy growth in just 4 years. “It would not have been possible to even think of entering many of the surrounding areas and even abroad without Halal certification,” explains Topcake director, Doan Minh Vu. When asked about this trend, Vu confidently responds, “Halal will definitely get more important in the future.” Topcake takes pride in being able to create their premium products for all their customers’ needs; and they acknowledge that, with a little more effort than their competition, more customers can feel encouraged to buy their products after specific concerns are met. This is a big part of what sets Topcake apart in Southeast Asia. Another big part is the setup of their facilities. The company’s factory is located in the Long Hau industrial zone in Vietnam’s Long An province. All across its 20,000 square meters, the factory exhibits Topcake’s philosophy: quality first. Their processes are as automated as they can get with wall to wall of the latest in European techniques and machinery. This

is combined with the premium ingredients they import to produce their delectable snacks: US wheat, Australian dairy, Danish paper cups, and fresh eggs. “We want to focus on quality first, and we also want a good price to reflect that,” Vu states seriously. Topcake focuses on quality, but they also know that they should prove it before consumers even take a bite. Halal certification is part of a larger group of quality certifications Topcake works hard to maintain. Their products also impressively carry HACCP, ISO 22000, and GMP certification to assure snack lovers of the safety as well as the quality of the Topcake products they enjoy. Good pricing, premium products, and Halal certification? These have become Topcake’s trifecta for success, and it is obvious why. The company’s future, just like its cupcakes and cookies, is sweet indeed.

It would not have been possible to even think

of entering many of the surrounding areas and

even abroad without Halal certification.

Twenty five years of experience in producing high quality and customized prepared foods has made a name for French

family-owned company Agrodoubs. Located in east France in the town of Flagey, the company’s impressive manufacturing facilities are constantly producing and developing prepared food mixes for almost every need. With a production staff comprised of educated and trained food science experts and engineers, the latest in food production machinery and techniques are constantly maintained and updated to reach out to consumers. This is reflected in Agrodoubs’ newly acquired Halal certification from HFCE in Belgium this year. This comes on top of the already impressive HACCP, ISO9001:2000, and IFS certifications the company holds that prove the quality and safety of their products. Agrodoubs’ Halal products are varied; however, the company concentrates on their dessert range. These include dessert fillings that are ready to eat, ready to cook fillings, and prepared desserts such as crème brûlée, panna cotta, and cheesecake. Meeting customers’ needs is what Agrodoubs specializes in, and Agrodoubs proudly distributes their dessert ingredients all over the world. This inevitably leads to a wonderful exchange of culture and quality that ends up teaching both sides about new concepts. This is the beginning of Agrodoubs’ journey to Halal certification, which ends with gaining several new and large distributors in many new places such as the Middle East and Malaysia. “We consulted experts, and learned that Malaysia’s Halal authority recognizes HFCE from Belgium. So we went with HFCE to meet those standards,” states Georges Bourgon, président-directeur general and CEO of Agrodoubs. JAKIM is the Malaysian government’s Halal authority, and their strict standards are well-known to the international Halal community. This is why JAKIM is the most

recognized Halal certification authority in the world, and why so many companies that export are urged have certification that meets their standards. “It is better to be certified because we can reach larger customers,” Bourgon illustrates. “We now supply certain airlines and Halal distributors that need certification as they go around the world.” The effort to be Halal certified and recognized by JAKIM has paid off with yearly revenue estimated at over US$4 million and growing. Agrodoubs’ doesn’t just stay high-tech to be fancy. They want to even include customers in the development process. They boast a state-of-the-art R&D department that is ready and willing to listen and educate people directly with the product they desire to create. Agrodoubs wants to produce the highest quality prepared foods to the specifications that any client needs. This now includes Halal foods, and the world is a little sweeter for

HONEST HALAL mILK IS THE BEST pOLICY

Grazing on the slopes of Mount Gunung Kawi in Indonesia are more than 6,000 Friesian Holstein dairy cows owned

and cared for by Austasia Foods under their signature brand, Greenfields. This 25 hectare dairy farm not only boasts quality bovines producing 27-30 million liters of milk per year but also its own processing facilities that ensure the quality of the milk and cheeses produced are kept high. This is what is meant by Greenfields’ slogan of “100% honest milk.” When competitors say their milk is fresh, it’s up to the consumer to interpret what that really means. Is milk from powder or milk that has been double pasteurized really fresh? Greenfields strongly disagrees with those definitions as it proudly delivers single-pasteurized, delicious, truly fresh milk domestically as well as to many nearby countries: Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Greenfields achieves this by having a hand in every part of the process from the cow to processing to packaging to shipping. This limits the amount of time and bacteria to way below industry standards, thus increasing the taste and

nutritional value of their dairy products. On top of all this, Greenfields has been Halal certified for their dairy since their beginning in 1997. “Halal is second nature to us,” proclaims Head of Sales and Marketing, Jan Gert Vistisen. With certification in Indonesia and Malaysia, they have found exporting to be a smooth and natural process of expansion across Southeast Asia. Jan elaborates bluntly, “Across Asia, they always ask if you are Halal. Without it you don’t have a chance. Even European companies need to become Halal if they want to increase future exports to the east.”

All of this makes the future of Greenfields’ milk and cheese creamy and bright, and it only makes the company do more. Due to the high foaming quality of their fresh milk, they have partnerships with many prominent coffee shops, such as Starbucks. This experience has led them to develop a new, low-fat mochaccino-flavored milk that uses real coffee to achieve a creamy, brewed goodness to satisfy dairy and bean lovers alike. They also plan to launch a new line of ricotta cheese products later this year to sell alongside their already existing mozzarella cheeses. “We are always working to develop new products that are based on our dairy,” says Jan. When a person is looking for safe, quality Halal milk and other dairy products, they can be sure that the Greenfields’ logo means just that. We can’t ask for more when it comes to the food that we eat, but Greenfields goes beyond to open people’s eyes to what quality dairy in Asia really should taste like. They prove that Indonesia is a hidden gem in the dairy world, and that Greenfields is a brand that consumers can taste the quality, the freshness, and the honesty.

.. Ghee, a traditional Indian form of clarified butter, is a very useful and delicious ingredient to have in any kitchen. Customarily made from cow’s milk, ghee is similar to most clarified butters except that it is allowed to simmer with the remaining milk curds for a while before being separated. This enriches the flavor and aroma of the ghee. Ghee even provides a wonderful alternative to vegetable oils for the purpose of deep frying due to its higher smoking point. All of this makes ghee a very popular culinary staple in many parts of the world, especially Asia. Q.B.B. Pte. Ltd. had the foresight to take advantage of this popularity combined with JAKIM Halal certification for over 12 years. Now a subsidy of Lactalis International under the name Lactalis Singapore, Q.B.B. ghee still maintains the brand name customers have known and come to love. “People want to know the origin of the product, certification of the product, and what they have to pay for the product,” states Lim Peck Bin, Director and General Manager of Lactalis Singapore. Lactalis Singapore has continued to strive for the highest quality Q.B.B. ghee. “We know there are cheaper products in the market, but we do not want to compromise quality for price,” continues Bin. Lactalis International has over 200 production facilities in over 37 countries the world over making a wide range of dairy products. It is no surprise that at this scale Lactalis’ turnover in

2012 was €15.7 billion and growing, of which 10% is attributed to the Asia/Oceania region with its 2000 employees. Although their other items such as cheeses and butters are considered “Halal friendly”, Q.B.B. ghee is currently the only Halal certified product in the Lactalis Singapore range. Hopefully in the near future, their other products will follow the Q.B.B. example of Halal certification, and Lactalis knows this. “I think consumer assurance is very important, and this is a consumer market with many choices. It is up to producers like us to make sure that we recognize our consumers’ needs; and if that means the eventual Halal certification of all our products, we must meet that expectation to do well,” explains Bin. The premiere products slated for future Halal certification would hopefully be Lactalis’ Président brand of butters and cheeses. These are premium French butters and cheeses sold for top-quality home and restaurant use. French butter is prized for its slightly higher fat content that aids in cooking at higher temperatures as well as adding more flavor and stability, and has started to make a growing impact around the world including the encouragement of competitors to develop higher fat-content butters.

WHAT IS GHEE?

Ghee is clarified butter -- the butter oil, without the lactose and other milk solids. The word ghee is pronounced with a hard G as in GO and a long E as in GLEE. It is traditionally prepared by gently heating butter until it becomes a clear golden liquid.

Jack’s Creek is a family-owned Angus and Wagyu beef producing company from Australia with a long, eventful, and purposeful past. Started around 1852 with a butchery store in New South Wales by the Warmoll Family, they soon relocated and moved on to wool and animal hide trading. In the 1940s farming was added to the mix, and still operates today to provide grain and pasture. This laid the ground work for later expansion into Angus breeding. In 1991, the family became one of the first Australian breeders to bring Wagyu lines into their herds. In 2000 they officially formed a company, Australian Certified Wagyu Beef P/L, which now trades as Jack’s Creek. A lot of Halal customers know that Wagyu from Japan, and even other countries, is usually tagged as “must avoid” due to some growers raising their cattle on grain that has wine or beer added to it. However, Jack’s Creek provides a wonderful Halal alternative by not raising their cattle in this way. On top of that, they have gone the extra mile to ensure that their products and processes are clearly Halal certified. Even their brochures mention it on almost every page. Halal means peace of mind for millions of people around the world, and Jack’s Creek is giving them a chance to enjoy some of the best beef in the world worry free. “Near 80% of our customers ask if we are Halal certified. Even if they are not from a necessarily Halal market area or from a country with Halal requirements, our distributors around the world have many customers of their own that require Halal-only products,” points out Leon Zagel of Jack’s Creek’s sales and production. At Jack’s Creek, the philosophy is to make strong

connections with other people that are excited about quality meat. “We sell a premium product,” Zagel elaborates, “and we like to work with people that are in the high-end market that want to do great things with great beef.” And great beef it is: Halal certified by SICHMA, no hormones, no antibiotics, and EU accredited. The different breeds of cattle are all raised on large open areas of the New South Wales plains where they graze freely and happily before starting the special grain-diet regimens that are specific to each breed. This grain-feeding process combined with the genetics of the cows is what creates the exceptional and consistent marbling characteristics that Jack’s Creek strives for. The Wagyu cattle are grain fed the longest for 450 days, the Black Angus for 150 - 170 days, and the regular Angus for 100 - 120 days. The result is world class beef that, when properly cooked, just melts in the mouth. Besides exquisite steaks, Jack’s Creek also sells beef strips, pastrami, corned beef, patties, and roast beef. Halal beef fit for kings and queens from the land down under, Jack’s Creek is out to excite kitchens and minds of the world with premium meat from Australia. They are currently sending their products around the world to over 20 destinations, and one look and taste of the quality ensures
