As Salaam Alaikum

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

AL SAFA receives many calls and emails with regard to Halal Chicken slaughter, especially the following questions...

"What is machine slaughter?"
Chickens which are routinely slaughtered at very high speed by a rotating blade, as many as 150 chickens per minute or more.

"Why is this done?"
Because it is very cost effective and is standard practice in today's modern chicken plants.

"Why do companies label chicken as Halal, when in fact they have been slaughtered by a machine?"
We share your concern - AL SAFA does not endorse machine slaughter.

"How do I know if the chicken I am buying for my family is Zabiha - hand slaughtered by a Muslim, or in the alternative - slaughtered by a machine? "
We recommend that you phone the company and ask. Furthermore, request to see their slaughter procedure with your own eyes.
