In recent weeks, there has been growing discussion online about how some supermarkets are selling meat that has been prepared to Halal standards — but without making this clear on the packaging. Many shoppers are only discovering after purchasing that the meat they’ve brought home is Halal, leaving them feeling frustrated and misled.

This issue raises an important question: how can customers make informed choices if labelling isn’t transparent?

Why Lack of Transparency is a Problem

Whether it’s about religious requirements, animal welfare, or personal preference, customers deserve the right to know how their food has been prepared. When supermarkets fail to disclose whether meat is Halal, it undermines consumer trust and makes people feel they’re not in control of what they are feeding themselves or their families.

For many, it isn’t simply about Halal or non-Halal — it’s about honesty. If supermarkets aren’t open about something as fundamental as slaughter methods, how can shoppers trust the rest of the label? Transparency in food production is vital, and without it, trust quickly breaks down.
