But the Supermarkets do give us a choice as to whether we buy Halal or Kosher or whatever we want.
Looks like they don't!
Supermarkets and restaurant chains are selling halal meat to millions of customers without telling them.
The switch to slaughtering animals in line with Islamic ritual saves money because the end product can be eaten by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
More than 70 per cent of all New Zealand lamb in supermarkets is from halal abattoirs â a fact not stated on labelling. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer all confirmed yesterday they sell the imported meat.
This seems like a really odd thing to do, I mean, the whole point of meat that's halal or kosher is that people know its halal/kosher so they know they can buy it. If it's just in normal non-labelled packaging a strict muslim isn't going to buy it because they will assume it's not halal, same as we would! The only thing I can think of is that they have surplus of the halal, and they just bung it into normal packaging so it doesn't go to waste and they don't lose money
