History

In 2009,
Adnan Durrani founded American Halal Company in Stamford, Connecticut. The American Halal company sells halal certified food products under the brand Saffron Road Foods. The name "Saffron Road" was inspired by Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road project. In July 2010, Saffron Road was launched through Whole Foods. Its products are halal certified, antibiotic free, and non-gmo project verified. Ingredients come from family owned, sustainable farms. In August 2015, American Halal acquired Mediterranean Snack Foods, a lentil snack food manufacturer, which was added to the Saffron Road line.
