The term Halal has a broad meaning as it refers to any action a Muslim (or a believing Islam) can perform or a good that he can consume. The word Halal in the West is generally conjugated with the meaning of "food permitted or permitted by Islamic law". 

Generally, all foods are Halal except those referred to as Haram. For example, all vegetable foods are Halal except in the case of alcohol or alcoholic vinegar. For meat, however, there are much tougher requirements. Some specific meats are considered Haram (e.g. the pig and its derivatives). Other meats are Halal only if slaughtered according to the principles of Halal slaughter.

Why Buy Meat from Veenas- Sri Lankan groceries UK?

Animal welfare Guaranteed:

Welfare is of the utmost importance, so it is important that animals do not suffer unnecessarily before slaughter. So we take proper care of animals by providing them good water and hay to keep them calm before slaughter and also take appropriate steps to make sure they are not slaughtered in view of other animals. Our qualified butchers also do not sharpen the weapons to be used in front of the animal before slaughter- this guarantees less stress for the animal with consequent better quality of the meat.

Food Safety:

We also ensure that all the animals are alive in the slaughterhouse. This avoids the slaughter of dead animals for human consumption: the purpose is food safety as dead animals of old age; illness, bleeding etc. could pose a risk to the health of the consumer.

Slaughter According to Islamic Law:

According to the Islamic law, a Muslim butcher must say the Tasmiyyah that is pronounce God's name before slaughter. So our butchers make such short prayers and carry out slaughter in the most compassionate manner possible.

They utilize properly sharpened and cut at least three of the four major vessels to ensure rapid slaughter and immediate death as blood flow to the brain is immediately interrupted, thereby minimizing any discomfort for the animal. Blood is Haram (forbidden) and accordingly this method guarantees that blood is properly eliminated from the carcass. The meat slaughtered is handled with the utmost care to avoid cross-contamination with other products.
