Mina launches chicken shawarma strips

MISSISSAUGA — Mina Halal Foodservice has launched a new website to highlight its growing product line.

On Jan. 3, the foodservice provider announced the new website (minahalalfoodservice.com), as well as the addition of chicken shawarma strips to its product line. The shawarma is fully cooked, gluten free and made with dark meat as well as authentic Middle Eastern seasoning.

Alongside its chicken products, the new website features insight into how a restaurant may produce and serve a proper Halal meal, even in a kitchen that is not exclusively Halal. The website also provides demographic information into Canada’s Muslim population, the fastest growing demographic in the country.

Owned by Maple Leaf Foods, Mina products are Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certified, federally regulated and British Retail Consortium (BRC) audited.

Mina products adhere to the Islamic faith, and the Halal Monitoring Authority (HMA) has certified its products. Each chicken processed by the company is carefully monitored, individually blessed and hand slaughtered. As well, all of Mina’s chicken is processed in Ontario and Alberta and raised by a Canadian farmer.

With more than 25 products in its portfolio, Mina Halal products are served in cafeterias and restaurants across Canada. Currently, the product line includes boneless skinless chicken breasts, back attached legs, wings and tenders, to name a few.

The company is now developing Halal meat products like beef burgers and chicken bologna.
