Background
Currently a significant portion of meat is religiously slaughtered but not labelled as such. This denies consumers the right to choose based on their ethical or religious preferences. Even if certain parts (such as hindquarters) aren’t consumed by those of certain faiths, the animal has still undergone a religious slaughter which many find unacceptable without transparency. Mandatory labelling would align with consumer rights, animal welfare debates & fairness, ensuring informed purchasing decisions.
