I don't know why but I decided to look at their reviews first. It was showing 4 stars out of 5, so someone wasn't happy with their lamb and I wanted to know why before I bought.
Imagine my absolute disgust when the first review I read stated that every New Zealand Lamb (not just some) is killed by the Halal method!!. The reviewer was furious that Sainsbury's only mention this in the tiny small print, instead of making it prominent on the front of the packaging so customers can make an informed decision whether to buy meat that has not been slaughtered in the usual way.
Needless to say, I am not going to touch that lamb. I'm shocked and surprised that the country of New Zealand allow every single Lamb to be slaughtered this way.
I will in future stick to English or Welsh Lamb.
What are your feelings regarding Halal slaughter. I'm afraid I'm totally against it.
Hi
Just as bad as Jewish Slaughter, but there is not even a warning in that here in the UK.
Nothing at all,but vast amounts of it enters the food chain.
Kosher meat is only the forequarter, your steaks, topside,silverside and Rump going into the Supermarkets totally unmarked.
I only buy my meat from slaughterhouses where I know they do not do Halal or Kosher.
Edited to add.
All Halal Meat from New Zealand is stunned before slaughter, the animal is unconscious.
Kosher slaughter prohibits this, so here in the UK the animal is fully conscious when it's throat is cut.
So you can be eating your steak or Sunday roast without any warning at all.
60% of Polish Beef is exported to the UK.
I do not eat any Polish Beef because it is the biggest exporter of Kosher Beef in the world.
The Polish are now pushing a law through saying that they will ban exports of any beef slaughtered by the Kosher method.
The Israelis are going mad about this.
As soon as the law is in place, I will start eating Polish Beef.
