Halal

  • Halal is Arabic for permissible. Halal food is that which adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran.

  • The Islamic form of slaughtering animals or poultry, dhabiha, involves killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe.

  • Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, know as tasmiya or shahada.

  • There is debate about elements of halal, such as whether stunning is allowed.
