Rejected petition The UK government must fulfil it's promises on halal and kosher certified items
It is strictly forbidden for many Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Christians to consume any form of halal or kosher certified material. Without proper labelling we could be consuming it without knowing. All we are asking for is clear prominent labelling so we can make an informed choice.
More details
The government promised there would be more opportunity to label such products post Brexit (1). There was also a public consultation (2) I want to see "Religiously slaughtered" on the top right hand corner of meat & halal or kosher underneath. Non Religiously slaughtered meat should be labelled as such. Halal certified non meat items e.g. Mars Bars should also be labelled
