What Tegel says
Tegel's own FAQ says all Tegel products are halal and that it is audited and approved by Halal Conformity Services Limited, an approved halal organisation in New Zealand.
Stunning
Like most halal poultry in New Zealand and Australia, Tegel chicken is likely to be stunned before slaughter, which New Zealand halal certifiers accept. Some Muslims only eat meat from animals that were not stunned. See is stunned meat halal?
Exports
Tegel chicken is also sold in Australia, Singapore and the Pacific. Packs for those markets carry their own labels; check the halal logo on the pack you buy.
