Question - Halal Meat



This is not a religious Post … not even a political one.

Really, there is, now, not much left to write about, but that was until I started to cook dinner.

The other day, the weather was cold enough to register within a single digit, but the sun was shining and I had an urge to visit the Superstore to restock my pantry in preparation for the oncoming winter.  This meant buying two of everything … and cashing in my PC Points (Customer loyalty points).

Incidentally, if you were considering a visit here, I now have more than twice as much chocolate ice cream than normal.

But I digest, because the subject deals with a surprise.  You see, I bought two packs of my favourite lamb chops.  Cutting open the Canadian plastic wrap revealed an additional plastic wrap marked Australian Lamb inside.  This didn’t seem unusual but, when washing the wrapping prior to throwing away, I noticed a small label facing inwards towards the meat.  In other words, it could not be read until both wrappings were removed.  It said:

          SOU 26971
          16284
     Authorised By Supreme Islamic
     Council of Halal Meat in Australia

Surely, as I mentioned earlier, this isn’t intended to be a religious Post, but I am sufficiently disturbed to post it here.


I hope that you will be equally concerned to comment.
