As part of its continuous efforts to provide the best food services to pilgrims and Umrah performers, Manaf Food Industrial Company received a delegation from the Indonesian Islamic Affairs on an official visit to the headquarters of Manaf Food Industrial Company. This visit comes in the context of enhancing cooperation between Manaf Food Industrial Company and the delegation of the Indonesian Islamic Affairs in providing advanced catering services to pilgrims and Umrah performers, especially in the field of providing sterile meals that comply with the highest quality and safety standards.
The visit began with an inspection tour of the facilities of Manaf Food Industrial Company, where the latest technologies used in the production and packaging of sterile meals were reviewed. The Indonesian delegation focused on reviewing the integrated processes that the meals go through from the preparation stage to the packaging and packaging stage, passing through the advanced sterilization that ensures the preservation of the safety and quality of the food.
During the visit, they discussed ways to improve and develop the mechanism of producing meals for pilgrims and Umrah performers, in line with their nutritional needs during the Hajj and Umrah seasons. The importance of providing balanced and safe meals that contribute to the comfort of pilgrims and Umrah performers and help them perform their rituals with ease and comfort was also highlighted. Sterilized meals are considered modern food solutions that ensure food safety and maintain its quality for long periods without the need for refrigeration, making them an ideal choice for providing meals in environments with difficult conditions such as Hajj and Umrah. The Indonesian delegation showed great interest in the modern sterilization techniques used by Manaf Food Industrial Company, which contribute to ensuring that there are no pollutants or bacteria in the food.
The possibility of expanding the scope of cooperation between Manaf and the Indonesian Islamic Affairs to provide these meals to Indonesian pilgrims and Umrah performers in particular was also discussed, with emphasis on Manaf Food Industries obtaining the HACCP and ISO 22000 food safety management system certification, which reflects the high quality standards followed and modern technologies used in manufacturing Manaf Food Industries meals.
This visit is considered a strong start for a fruitful future cooperation between Manaf Food Industries and the Indonesian Islamic Affairs in the field of providing sterile meals. This cooperation confirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to providing the best services to pilgrims and Umrah performers from all over the world, and at the same time reflects the interest of the Republic of Indonesia in meeting the needs of its citizens on these important religious occasions.
