Al'fez

Al'fez is a brand of Middle Eastern and North African–style food products sold in the UK, mainly aimed at home cooking. Its range includes couscous, tagine seasoning products, hummus, and other convenience and seasoning foods associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is positioned not as a traditional restaurant business but as a provider of packaged foods and cooking aids that let consumers prepare North African and Middle Eastern dishes at home. Al'fez is operated by AB World Foods, which is part of Associated British Foods. Reliable sources are insufficient regarding the brand's exact founding year, founder, and history as an independent operation, so these are not included here.
