This poster is in response to amendment #205 that has been added to a Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers. Although the majority of the Bill is concerned with labelling food products with nutritional information, amendment #205, tabled by German MEP Renate Sommer, requires all meat products derived from animals that have been slaughtered by dhabh without the use of pre-stunning to be labelled as ‘meat from slaughter without stunning‘.

As-salaamu-alaikum,
Behalal.org exists to arm Muslim consumers with information so as to ascertain the Halal status of the products that they purchase. The size of the Halal market means there is considerable power in the ‘Muslim pound’. If co-ordinated this can be use to drive manufacturer behaviour towards those production methods which best meet Muslim needs thereby increasing the pleasure of Allah swt.
