MOM’s Kosher Prepared Meals for Institutional Needs

Institutions with a both a consistent level of Jewish clientele and with a fluctuating population will find My Own Meal® glatt kosher meals in 10 oz (283g) trays to be a perfect solution to meet religious dietary needs.

Fast Delivery Turnaround

My Own Meals focuses on processing an order and shipping it either the same or next shipping day. We ship Monday through Thursday via UPS (United Parcel Services) or by a commercial trucking service for larger pallet orders. Within a few days, our kosher meals arrive and are ready to use.

Quick and Convenient Kosher Meals

Just Heat and Serve

My Own Meal® kosher prepared meals are packaged in convenient plastic trays that can be heated in the microwave oven for about a minute by venting the corner and putting the meal back into its box. Even though the sides of the box will open from the escaping steam, the double wrapping rule will be maintained.

To heat large quantities at the same time, some institutions use vertical steam tray units, or place them into hot water. Contact our management team with questions about how best to heat them within your particular setting to maintain kosher status.

In case of an emergency situation within the institution, MOM’s shelf stable meals are fully cooked and can be consumed at room temperature, although meals always taste better hot. We taste test every batch of our meals at room temperature before shipping them to ensure that they taste delicious, even when consumed unheated.

Ambient Temperature Storage

Storage is simple and convenient. Just keep them in dry storage at ambient temperatures. MOM’s kosher prepared meals do not take up valuable and very limited refrigerator or freezer space. In fact, they should never be stored in a freezer, under cold refrigeration or at temperatures over 80°F (26°C). This could damage the packaging or the quality of the kosher meal itself. We developed our recipes with shelf stable storage in mind.
