Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.

Background
This would include labels on every product available to consumers
We think UK government should implement mandatory method of slaughter labelling for all meat products Stunned or Non-Stunned. For all industries linked to food, including but not limited to shops, supermarkets, schools, restaurants, fast food, cafes and suppliers
We think this promotes consumer choice, enhances transparency, especially for religion and ethics
We think no one should be forced to consume food which doesn't meet their ethical and religious choices, they should have the right to choose without prejudice
