Hot Meals

Singapore charity Free Food for All is not only on a mission to eradicate hunger around the world, it also wants food for its beneficiaries to taste delicious

One of the greatest pleasures of eating comes from savouring the varied flavours, textures and aromas of a meal. It is an experience Singapore charity Free Food for All (FFFA) believes should be accessible to everyone, including the needy and underprivileged.

This is why the organisation has pioneered halal ready-to-eat (RTE) meals that come in a retort packaging with flameless heat packs.

This allows food to be reheated without needing a microwave oven, stove or heat source.

Developed in partnership with a manufacturer in Brunei, the high-tech RTE meals include culturally-relevant dishes, such as boneless chicken cooked with Khabsaa spice-infused rice, which have a two-year shelf life and a high nutritional value. This makes the meals, which include vegetarian options, suitable for those who are facing the most critical humanitarian crises such as starvation and acute malnutrition.

“People in need should not have to settle for tasteless and bland food, instead they should be provided with tasty and nutritional meals to support their lack of quality of life,” says FFFA founder Nizar Mohamed Shariff.
