Is meat from GB 2524 halal?
The code shows which plant cut, prepared or packed the meat, not whether it is halal. Look for a halal logo from a named certifier, such as HMC or HFA, or ask the brand which certifier approves the product. More in halal meat codes.
What this approval means for halal
A game handling approval covers wild game such as deer, wild birds and rabbits. Hunted animals are not slaughtered in the way farm animals are, so scholars apply different rules to them. Ask a scholar you trust before relying on a pack.
A mince approval means the plant makes minced meat. Mince is made from trimmings, so one batch can combine meat from several carcasses and suppliers.
A meat preparation approval covers fresh meat with something added, such as sausages, burgers, kebabs and marinated meat. The added ingredients (marinades, casings, seasonings and flavourings) can bring in pork, alcohol or animal-derived additives, even when the meat itself is halal.
What to ask before you rely on it
- How were the animals killed, and is that accepted by a scholar you follow?
- Is the raw meat halal certified at source?
- Is halal mince made separately from non-halal mince?
- Are all added ingredients halal, including casings and flavourings?
- Is the meat halal certified, and does the certificate cover this product?
Ask the brand on the pack, or the halal certifier named on it. Plants rarely publish this, so a written answer from the brand is the best evidence.
