As the year comes to a close, it’s the ideal time to reflect on what truly matters in the food distribution industry: quality, reliability, and trust. At Universal Express Distribution (UED), this year has been focused on strengthening partnerships, expanding our halal food range, and supporting businesses with dependable access to essential food products.
Halal food continues to grow beyond a niche market in the UK. Restaurants, caterers, wholesalers, and retailers are increasingly prioritising halal-certified products that meet high standards of quality, consistency, and ethical sourcing.
Businesses are no longer just looking for products—they are looking for suppliers who understand halal requirements and deliver with confidence. This is where UED adds real value.
A key highlight this year has been working closely with established halal brands such as Halla Food. Known for their consistent quality and strict adherence to halal standards, Halla Food products are trusted by professional kitchens across the UK.
Through UED, businesses can source these products with confidence, knowing that quality, compliance, and reliability are always prioritised.
Buying food through Universal Express Distribution means working with a partner that understands the realities of the food and hospitality sectors.
Businesses choose UED because of:
Reliable access to halal-certified food products
