Rejected petition Mandatory clear prominent labeling for halal and kosher certified items.

It is forbidden for many Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists & Christians to consume any halal or kosher certified item. Without proper labeling we could be consuming it, without knowing. We ask for clear prominent labeling to make an informed choice e.g. a top right corner sign saying Religiously slaughtered.

More details

Meat items should also say on the top right halal or kosher certified Non-halal or non-kosher-certified meat items should say or non-religiously slaughtered. Halal-certified non-meat items should also be prominently labeled. The government said there would be more opportunities for such labeling post-Brexit (1). There was also a public consultation (2) There has been no change.
