A Brazil-based Halal food manufacturer has announced plans to supply a
range of products to Saudi Arabia. Maricota brand products, made by Clap
Foods, are about to enter supermarket shelves in Saudi Arabia after
signing contracts to supply 300 tonnes of frozen products to Al Othaim
Markets, a chain that operates in retail, wholesale and distribution of
foods in the Gulf kingdom. The contract includes the sale of cheese
bread, pizzas, lasagne, kibbehs, chicken cakes, cheese biscuits and
pancakes. In 2011, Clap got Halal certification for 37 items and this
year participated in food trade show Gulfood, resulting in the company
winning its first client in the region
