Why Halal?
Halal meat starts with the animal. It is important that animals are healthy and sustainably raised and nourished. This includes being free from derivatives that may negatively impact the health and quality of the meats you consume. Animals that are humanely raised and kept free of altering substances are a requirement for Halal meat. Due to the way halal slaughter is performed, it can significantly decrease the risk of bacteria and other harmful substances being present in the meat and its byproducts. One of the contributing factors of this is because of how the slaughter is performed which allows for the blood to be drained from the carcass faster and more effectively after it occurs; increasing its resistance to bacteria. Many also feel that the absence of blood, which contains lactic acid, lends to better tasting and more tender meat. Rest assured that when purchasing and consuming halal you are pursuing a cost-effective option made up of what you want most, meat, not weighed down by blood or additives, meaning you get more meat for your money.
