Our frozen entrees can be prepared in the microwave, in your own dish, or in an oven. For complete preparation instructions, see our How to Cook guide above.

Whether you’re practicing mindful eating or just dining solo, frozen foods make portioning meals easy. Many frozen meals come in clearly labeled, single-serving portions, so you know exactly what you're getting with no measuring and no guesswork. Just heat what you need and save the rest for later!

The average American tosses about $1,300 worth of food every year, according to the Nutrition Journal. Things go bad, we overbuy or produce spoils before we’re ready to use it. Frozen foods skip all that. They stay fresh for months, so you can use what you need and keep the rest ready for later.

Actually, they don’t. Studies show that the average levels of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, and fiber in frozen meals are similar to those in home-cooked meals. So, you can enjoy the same balanced nutrition, just with a little more convenience.

So much. Frozen meals skip all the prep. No chopping, no mixing, no waiting for the oven to heat up. Homemade meals can take more than 20 minutes, but a frozen meal in the microwave saves around 35 minutes. More time for you, less time in the kitchen.

Not at all. Frozen meals are made with real ingredients and stay fresh until you’re ready to eat. The flavor and quality hold up, so every bite tastes just as good.

Because it fits real life. Frozen meals are just as balanced as homemade, cost about the same, and last longer. You spend less time cooking and more time enjoying what you love.

Halal; is an Arabic word that translates to "permissible" in English. In terms of food, it means food that is permissible according to Islamic law. The idea of halal stems from the Quran, with the main principle being to consume only foods that are good for you and avoid foods that are unhealthy. Only food that goes through a special process from the farm to the package and finally the plate can be deemed entirely halal. If foods are labeled halal, they have to undergo certification so that consumers will be confident that the foods are what they claim to be.

All Saffron Road products are certified Halal by IFANCA. This global halal certification leader has been an avid promoter of halal since 1982. They use an easily implemented, efficient, simple, and cost-effective process to determine if various products meet global halal requirements and standards.

Yes, our simmer sauces are ok to freeze but not in the pouch. Instead, you can store these sauces in a freezer bag, plastic container, or any freezer-proof container. Avoid storing a sauce in glass because the glass may end up shattering if the sauce inside the container expands while it freezes. Once frozen, your sauce can safely be stored for around six months and sometimes longer. Note that once the sauce has passed the six-month mark, you can still safely eat it, but the flavor might be a bit diminished. In addition, the sauce’s chance of developing freezer burn will be higher.

Yes, you can use our simmer sauces in a slow cooker! Instructions can be found below: Heat the slow cooker while empty Once the slow cooker is hot, add 2 tbsp sunflower oil or ghee and meat/veggies Best cuts of meat to use are: dark meat chicken, stewing beef or lamb cut into cubes Best vegetables to use: legumes, onions, potatoes, large dice zucchini, cabbage, tomatoes, green beans Cook meat/veggies 1-2 minutes per side until brown, if adding onions sauté them first Add ½ cup of water and your chosen simmer sauce Cook for 8 hours on low to medium setting

All our products that bear the “gluten free” claim, as well as the facilities manufacturing these products, are under supervision from a qualified third-party certifier, GFCO (Gluten Free Certification Organization). Each facility is subject to an annual inspection by trained auditors. Our standards pertain to GFCO’s strict standards and requirements, which include employee training, gluten testing of high-risk ingredients, and gluten testing of finished product per production lot/batch/run. Additionally, in between runs, all equipment is cleaned thoroughly following food industry standards; then protein and/or gluten testing of equipment surface contact is performed prior to start of production to verify cleanliness. The gluten limit for all testing is 10 ppm. This limit is lower than FDA’s criteria for using “gluten free” claim, which is 20 ppm.

We can confirm that there is no alcohol present in any of our products. This is important given that many of today’s everyday drinks and foods contain some traces of alcohol.
