Rejected petition Change rules so that religious slaughter is only for consumption by Jews/Muslims

Rejected on 6 March 2018

DEFRA religious slaughter exemption states by Jews/Muslims intended for consumption by Jews/Muslims. This allowed overproduction and the introduction of religiously slaughtered meat into the non religious food chain. This is against the religious and other requirements of many and should be changed.

A large amount of supermarket and resturant meat is the product of religious slaughter without any notification or labelling.
