It's not kept secret though, they just don't make a song and dance about it.

I mean I do think what's the point in having halal meat and not advertising the fact for the people who prefer halal but whatever.

[Brother Leon]

I actually read the article. So it was stated that they use halal meat in their website?

That huge secret there..

I find the sudden rise of "evil muslims are taking over" stories too convenient

Young Man
people are aware of times have changed.

But Halal Meat has a Sticker on Windows (take aways)
to warn people that need to know.

And all those Companies who kept it secret
are now in todays DM.

Being Honest is the key

Halal meat row: faith leaders call for clear food labelling


Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders call for clear labelling on food packaging amid claims shoppers are being "duped" by being sold halal meat without their knowledge

an interesting comment from the telegraph website is below:


"Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders call for clear labelling on food packaging amid claims shoppers are being "duped" by being sold halal meat without their knowledge."

What utter hypocrisy!

Jewish and Muslim leaders campaigned very strongly to PREVENT EU policy regarding the labelling of meat and meat products from being sold to the public without clear labels about the origins and method of slaughter.

The reason was very clear, they new that if the public could make an informed choice they would not by meat created by religious slaughter because the public knew that the animal had died a slow and agonising death.

The EU Parliament voted 559 to 54 back in 2010 in favour of labelling meat created by religious slaughter but Jews and Muslims have prevented the legislation being enforced in the UK.

Well done indeed to the journalists who uncovered the deception and subterfuge at Pizza Express and raised this issue so that a proper public debate can now be conducted in the UK!

I think people should be more concerned with the quality of the meat product they are eating, that it is the meat and the cut that it pupports to be and that it contains no growth hormones or other hazardous drugs.

Not if it had it's throat cut during a prayer or not.

[Kizzy]

You know I don't believe they are.... Have their been any checks?
They could have just been approached by muslims and asked ' is this chicken halal?'

Er..... yeah.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Sikh bloke on Jeremy Vine just now phoned in to say how it's actually against his religion to eat halal meat. I know the Sikh population isn't huge but surely when some people have very legitimate grounds not to want halal meat its the sort of thing that should be made clear, because otherwise everyone will reasonably assume it was killed in the 'conventional' way

[Kizzy]

As if the conventional way is any more or less humane...

Its not strictly prohibited for Sikh's the same way that halal is

I didn't say it was, did they give a reason why they object to the halal slaughter but not conventional method?

Just religious requirements I guess...same as some faiths only allow Halal slaughter rather than conventional

I think it's the ritualistic element they object to, he didn't really go into it though

David Cameron has refused to call for clearer labelling of halal products in supermarkets and restaurants.
Downing Street has said that the Prime Minister has “no concerns” about the meat that he buys and said it is for retailers and restaurants to decide whether to provide more information about halal products.
It came just hours after Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, called for clearer labelling of all halal meat products.
Mr Clegg said that while he had “no problem” eating a pizza with halal meat, it would be “relatively straightforward” for businesses to tell people how the meat they were eating “arrived on their plates”.
His comments echoed those made by religious leaders, who have said that shoppers must be told exactly how animals have been killed through clear labelling on food packaging.

So nobody is going to get to know even if you want to basically, it should be a choice... it isn't..
