Closed Legally require force food suppliers to label all halal blessed/slaughtered meat

Closed on

I am not Muslim, i do not wish to eat halal meat, l do not agree with it religiously & ethically, i support animal rights.
I have accidentally eaten halal meat and this caused me religious and ethical issues and has deeply offended me, i demand ALL shops clearly label halal blessed/slaughtered meat

Tesco- "we do not specify to suppliers whether halal practices should be followed"
M&S- "we do not specify any religious practice as part of our sourcing policy so therefore do not label"

Sainsburys- "in NZ it is common for lamb to be blessed"

Morrisons- "all our lamb from NZ is pre-stunned and blessed"

Co-Op- "there is currently no UK wide labelling scheme"

ASDA- "No comment"

Waitrose- " there is currently no UK labelly scheme and we believe this is a matter where government should lead "
