Do I know any Muslim Business' --- To be honest, I have no idea about this trade. I just want Halal Food. I have done this thread for my benefit and for the benefit of all those who want to eat only Halal too.
Having said that, what I have found is that;
The UK Standards Agency asks for meat to be slaughtered in a certain manner, i.e. Stunned. Sometimes the chicken can be stunned to kill or stunned to stun only. Having said that, The UK Standards Agency allows for Halal and Kosher Meat and Poultry NOT to stun. Therefore, there is the chance of buying HMC certified products in our Supermarkets.
The BIG Problem here is that these Abattiors mass produce to meet everyones needs except the Muslims. They certify the meat as Halal when supplying the Halal Market and dont certify if the buyer doesnt require Halal. This way, they are in business and they do not make a loss in the Dunya.
For example, the Meat supplied to Wembley stadium is Halal according to the supplier, but Wembley Stadium dont ask for it to be Halal. On top of that, the Meat suppliers stun their animal (Sheep) until their eyes roll back and then slaughter it, all inside 15 seconds. See the video posted earlier.

DEFRA i believe is the relevant authority that produces the guidance aswell as enforces it i.e. there isnt, far as i know, an executive defra agency that Defra has delegated enforcement to as is the case, i believe, with other industries such as fishing where the policy/guidance is set by Defra however the enforcement of that policy is delagated to the MMO which in itself is a executive agency of Defra. However this is only, far as i know, for England. Im not too sure what the case is wrt the divolved Gov of Wales, Scotland and Ireland (who on many issues have their own rules different from England)
Wrt 'UK Standard Agency' i believe your referring to the Food Standard Agency..
This company started up last year.
No Idea who approves these people, I read it may be owned by some Ahle Hadith Brothers, but I cant verify that.

DO NOT ALLOW MECHANICAL SLAUGHTER
DO NOT ALLOW STUNNING
Mechanical slaughter is of three types:
THE USE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ON ANIMALS
With regards to meat that is not slaughtered according to Islamic rites, it is not Halal because of the effect electric shock (stunning) on blood drainage.
In regular meat slaughterhouses, animals are brought into an alley and given an electric shock (stunned) before Dhabh (slaughtering) to the head to make them unconscious. The animal’s legs are then tied up and it is hung upside down. A knife is put to its neck, and then it is slaughtered. The animal is then temporarily left alone to allow the blood to drain from its body. From there, the meat is processed. But using electric shock (stunning), means that all of the animal’s blood does not leave its body, because electric shock (stunning) affects the central nervous system and as many of the animal are die from effect of stunning.
On the contrary, if an animal is slaughtered in accordance with Islamic guidelines, the central nervous system works properly, and the entire animal’s blood comes out.
Remaining blood in the animal is a source of fermentation and destruction of meat quality. This means bacteria can grow easily on the meat. From an Islamic perspective, it is Haram to eat meat-containing blood, and dead animal as it is clearly stated in the Qur’an that Muslims cannot consume blood.
These products can be found in Tesco also, Alhumdulillah
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
