In respect of UK-slaughtered meat this is generally already happening - in respect of non-stun slaughtered animals we already have petitions open on this (at the link below). The petition was also unclear as to whether you might in fact be referring to meat slaughtered abroad. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?state=open&q=slaughter

Background
This petition aims to improve animal welfare, ensure honest consumer information, and create a fair, consistent standard for all meat sold in the UK. Only with Government support and legislation can the UK public have confidence in the animal meat they are buying was humanely slaughtered with the welfare of the animal taking priority.
