UAE-based food tech company Red Planet has launched a line of halal-certified ready-to-eat meals with a shelf life of **up to 25 years, offering a major innovation in long-term food storage. The meals, which were first presented at the Saudi Food Show 2025 in Riyadh from May 12 to 14, are targeted at military, humanitarian, and disaster relief operations worldwide.
