K&N's – a founding pillar and beacon for Pakistan’s poultry industry - started its poultry operations in 1964.
‘Integrated poultry operations’ is managing and controlling all stages of poultry production under one umbrella to ensure quality and food-safety.
K&N's manages poultry breeding, hatching, feed milling, broiler growing, poultry processing, production of ready-to-cook and fully cooked products, its own product distribution setup and a chain of chicken stores.
Feed Milling is an integral part of K&N’s integrated poultry operations. The well-balanced diet of K&N’s chickens is based on natural grain products, such as, corn, corn gluten, and rice; oilseed meals of soybean, canola and sunflower; supplemented with amino acids, multi-vitamins and minerals.
Thus, K&N’s chickens enjoy the benefit of a healthy and well-balanced diet, free of any contaminants or steroids.
K&N's products are Safe and Healthy, not just as a product range with varied flavour profiles, but also the way we produce them.
K&N’s brings you safe and healthy chicken, The K&N's Way – by managing and controlling all stages of poultry production under one umbrella, and conducting quality assurance lab tests at every stage, from grandparent breeding right down to delivering products to your homes.
We provide a much higher grade product prepared with finest quality ingredients and premium quality boneless chicken. We do not use harmful additives to preserve the quality of our products. It is as good as what you prepare at home as it is without any artificial preservatives, MSG, nitrates, nitrites, colour, or Trans Fat (0g).
We do not add soy protein or other such cheap ingredients with intention to replace chicken meat in ANY of our product.
All our products are prepared with fine quality ingredients and premium boneless chicken. We do not use mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDM) in any of our products.
We use the finest breading materials, locally sourced fresh vegetables, real cheddar cheese (without any animal rennet), and a variety of herbs and spices in our proprietary and exotic blends of seasoning, to bring you flavourful chicken products that are Safe and Healthy.
Our main ingredient is premium boneless chicken, carved from chickens which are bred and raised naturally on K&N’s grandparent parent breeding and broiler growing farms across Pakistan, on a well-balanced diet, without antibiotics, hormones or steroids. We NEVER use mechanically deboned chicken meat. Also, we do not add soy protein or other ingredients with intention to replace chicken meat in any of our product.
Mechanically Deboned Meat (MDM) is a paste or batter-like product which is produced by forcing bones with attached edible tissue through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to separate bone from edible tissue. MDM is quite a frequently used meat material substituted in place of boneless chicken meat, but it is strictly against our ethos to use it, due to its potentially harmful effects on health. Products produced with MDM are of inferior quality.
Typically, flavour enhancers such as MSG (monosodium glutamate), artificial preservatives, nitrates and nitrites are used. Even cheap substitutes of chicken meat such as MDM, are used by food producers. As a consumer of frozen food products, it is important to read the ingredients list before you decide to feed a product to your family.
When you prepare a meal at home, you neither add harmful additives nor force it to go through harmful processes, so why should we? Our products are ethically sound, prepared with ingredients you can easily pronounce and understand, and free of all potentially harmful ingredients such as MDM, MSG, preservatives, nitrates and nitrites and have zero grams Trans Fat per serving.
Chickens are Halal slaughtered by hand (Islamic Zabiha) strictly according to The Shariah. We use hand-cut Halal certified chicken as the main ingredient in our products for two reasons:
First, for its exceptionally high quality, as hand-cut Halal certified chicken, is a much higher-grade product. It is also a seal of assurance for more humane treatment of poultry.
Second, in line with our ethos, we want to provide better food choices to more people regardless of ethnicity and faith.
As a consumer, you need to make an educated choice for your family. This can be easily attained by reading the list of ingredients on product packaging.
Unfortunately, use of mechanically separated deboned chicken meat (MDSM) is wide-spread, particularly in sausages and cold- cuts. Once this inferior quality ingredient is used, it almost becomes necessary to add other potentially harmful ingredients such as artificial preservatives, nitrates and nitrites, to preserve the product.
Many producers of chicken products also use soy protein with intention to replace chicken meat as it’s a lower cost ingredient. MSG is also widely used as a flavour enhancer and there is debate on its potentially harmful effects on health, particularly in young children and people with heart condition.
When you cook at home, you don’t add potentially harmful ingredients, so there should be no reason for you to compromise when you buy premade products for your convenience given your busy life style. If you want to make a better choice, please look for products that are free of MDM, MSG, nitrates and nitrites, food colour and artificial preservatives.
NO! We use food grade cellulose casings, which are peeled off prior to packing. Our sausages are prepared using premium boneless chicken, without MDM or other cheaper alternates to chicken meat. Also, we do not use artificial smoke, but we smoke sausages naturally, in a sustainable way.
Predominantly, sausages in the world are produced in animal casings which act as skin, or skinless (without intestines) using advanced equipment and technology. If intestines are used they stay on and end up being a ‘skin’ on the sausage. Since casings are imported, there is no guarantee of these being ‘Halal’. Thus, we at K&N's, decided to produce ‘SKINLESS’ sausages by implementing high technology.
To prepare our Deline sausages, international standard, food grade, cellulose casings are used, which are then peeled off using automatic peeler, thereby bringing you ‘skinless’ sausages. So all K&N's Deline sausages are ‘skinless’ (that is, without casing), and can be enjoyed without worrying about their skin.
If you value your and your family’s health, and want to consume food without potentially harmful ingredients, then K&N's skinless sausages and cold-cuts are a definite better choice as they are Safe and Healthy.
K&N's Deline skinless sausages and cold- cuts are prepared using premium boneless chicken meat without mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDM). They are naturally smoked, as we do not use any artificial liquid smoke flavour, giving you age-old authentic flavour of natural smoke. They are made without adding MSG, nitrates, nitrites, artificial colour and artificial preservatives.
We do not add gluten as an ingredient in any of our product. However, gluten, as an ingredient is present in flour, wheat, barley etc, K&N's uses flour and breadcrumbs as coating for a number of its products, including Burger Patties, Nuggets etc.
