Saba, the Japanese term for Pacific mackerel commonly consumed throughout Japan due to its nutritional value, and has 50% more Omega 3. Based on an article by U.S National Institutes of Health, diets which are rich in omega-3 have been linked to healthy aging, such as in Japan, which has the highest life expectancy globally ^[1].

“The pandemic puts pressure on all of us. For front liners, the long hours and stress leaves no time to grab even a quick meal. Our team in Kelantan highlighted that there was a need that we could meet. We offered our ready-to-eat sardines, tuna and mackerel for its high nutrition value to keep them going,” says Teoh Wei Ling, Marketing Manager at Ayam Brand.



The brand organises and hosts annual corporate social responsibility campaigns, which have gone on for 13 years benefitting more than 524 charity organizations and NGOs in Malaysia. “The pandemic drastically changed the livelihood and lifestyle for many.
