Plan a week of halal meals and get a shopping list you can print.
Loading the tool…
How it works
- Choose vegetarian only, fish, or quick meals if you like.
- Press Fill my week, then swap any meal using the drop-downs.
- The shopping list builds itself, grouped into halal meat, fish, dairy, fresh produce and cupboard items.
Checking food is halal
- Buy meat and poultry from a halal butcher or with a certification mark you trust.
- On packaged food, check for gelatine (unless it’s from a halal or plant source), alcohol (including in some flavourings), and animal rennet in cheese.
- Some colourings, such as E120 (carmine), come from animals.
- If unsure, contact the manufacturer or look for a halal certification logo.
A balanced week
The NHS Eatwell Guide suggests basing meals on wholegrain starchy foods, eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, and having fish twice a week, one of them oily, such as salmon, mackerel or sardines.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add my own meals?
Not yet. Use the plan as a starting point and write any changes on the printed copy.
Does the shopping list show quantities?
It shows each item and how many meals use it, so you can scale it to your household.
Is my data private?
Yes. It’s saved in this browser only and never uploaded.
