About Frankies Farm
Frankie's Farm is a British brand specialising in halal-certified world foods, best known for their innovative Streaky Lamb Macon - a pork-free alternative to traditional bacon. Part of the KQF family of halal food brands, Frankie's Farm launched their macon product at Asda stores in May 2020, bringing an authentic bacon-style experience to consumers who observe halal or kosher dietary requirements. The Streaky Lamb Macon is crafted from thin strips of cured lamb meat, then smoked using traditional British beechwood to create the distinctive smoky flavour that bacon lovers expect. The word "macon" itself is a portmanteau of "mutton" and "bacon," reflecting a concept well-established in communities that avoid pork. This ready-to-eat product offers the convenience and taste experience of streaky bacon without compromising religious dietary observance. Frankie's Farm products are halal certified by HSI (Halal Scholarly Inspections), an independent monitoring body that verifies all meats come from certified halal suppliers. This certification gives Muslim consumers confidence that strict halal standards are maintained throughout production. The macon is also free from dairy products, making it suitable for those with lactose sensitivities who enjoy traditional breakfast meats. Manufactured by KQF, one of the UK's established halal food producers, Frankie's Farm joins a family of brands including Khan's, Taha, and Wild Coast. KQF's expertise in halal meat production ensures consistent quality across their range of frozen burgers, sausages, and specialist products. With growing demand for quality halal alternatives to mainstream products, Frankie's Farm addresses a genuine gap in the UK market for authentic bacon-style experiences.
