“Catherine Blaiklock – HALAL: The Label Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story”
“From surveys, about 70% of meat in UK supermarkets is religiously slaughtered—inhumane and illegal under laws restricting it to Muslims and Jews for their own use. Yet Muslims and Jews are only 7% of the population.
Local authority inspectors fail to enforce this, as do Trading Standards on labeling. Supermarkets dodge by claiming stunned meat isn’t “true” Halal or Shechita, but it’s either compliant or not—half-measures violate consumer laws.
Halal’s cheapness has shuttered traditional slaughterhouses; animals often remain conscious for over 4 minutes, unlike stunned methods.”
