Leading dairy ingredients company Meadow Cheese has secured Halal certification for two products used extensively in ready meals and pizza production.

Meadow Cheese’s cheese analogue and white analogue cheeses – processed cheese often used as a replacement to natural cheese in a number of applications to ensure both taste and price consistency in the finished product – have been certified by the Halal Food Authority (HFA).

Robert Kennedy, marketing manager at Meadow Cheese, said: "There is increased demand for Halal certified products from food manufacturers keen to meet the needs of younger Muslims who want to eat Western food such as pizza but do not want to compromise their religious beliefs. We are delighted that the HFA has inspected the process of manufacture for these two cheese products and certified them in accordance with their Halal Standard."
