Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence that Halal blessed food is not clearly marked.

Various supermarkets and food retailers (example Marks and Spencers) do not see fit to indicate what food is Halal.
According to the bible, Revelations 2, it is forbidden for a christian to eat food that has been offered to an idol, which is what an Halal blessing constitutes.

More details

If we are permitting Halal on the grounds of religion, we are legally bound to ensure that it is appropriately marked and alternatives are ALWAYS available lest it otherwise be discrimination.
