How is Halal food being promoted on U.S. university campuses?

The Minnesota-based Medical-Dietary company (parent company of 'Halal Health') holds workshops on U.S. university campuses to guide Muslim students to promote Halal food on campus and create Halal demand—because if campus food service does not feel this demand, it will not offer halal options. Ohio State University launched its first Halal food-service program this year, and Bradley University and the University at Buffalo also introduced halal dining to their respective campuses. The company is also opening up Halal dining to more venues such as schools, hospitals, restaurants, military and government venues, and corporate cafeterias.

Medical-Dietary Company to Promote Halal Food on U.S. Campuses

The Minnesota-based Medical-Dietary company, the parent company of "Halal Health," is a privately held company founded in 1980 by Don Tymchuck to provide specialty foods. The company will present workshops on U.S. university campuses where Muslim students can work to promote Halal food on campus and improve leadership skills. In next year's Halal drive, students must create Halal demand. "Halal" relates to products including food that maintains halal regulations, free of pork and alcohol and their by-products.

The workshops will include information for food-service managers, as well as how to organize and work to sustain discussion so that people become more interested in Halal. Mr. Tymchuck will speak at the Muslim Students Association (MSA) National Continental Conference on 2 July 2011, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.

Students create Halal demand

Tymchuck said: 'We intend this to be the kickoff of a national program organized by MSA, to encourage its members to promote more campus Halal next year. Students must create demand. In campus food service, if this demand is not expressed, no other dining option is offered. This is my goal of getting things to develop by guiding students to take action.' Mr. Tymchuck also attended a workshop at Ohio State University, which launched its first Halal food-service program this year. Earlier this year, Bradley University and the University at Buffalo in New York State also introduced Halal to their respective campuses.

Through a unique partnership with the largest food-service distributor in the Mediterranean, the Medical-Dietary company is working to open up many other dining venues for Halal, including schools and universities, hospitals, restaurants, entertainment/leisure/camps, government and military venues, and corporate cafeterias. Relevant Chinese enterprises should learn more about Halal market trends and actively participate in cooperation.
