About GB 2553

Haq Bahu Meat and Poultry Limited is based in Birmingham (B12), England. The Food Standards Agency approves it for cutting meat, cold storage and re-wrapping and repacking.

Is meat from GB 2553 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 cutting plant cuts carcasses into joints and portions. It does not slaughter animals, so the meat arrives from a slaughterhouse and the halal question moves upstream: where the meat came from, and whether halal meat is kept apart from non-halal meat while it is cut.

A cold store keeps chilled or frozen products. It does not cut, prepare or slaughter, so its approval says nothing about how the meat was produced.

A re-wrapping approval means the plant unwraps and packs meat again without preparing it. A pack can carry this plant's code while the meat was slaughtered and cut elsewhere, so the supplier before the repack matters.

What to ask before you rely on it

  • Which slaughterhouses supply this plant, and are they halal certified?
  • Is halal meat cut on separate lines or at separate times from non-halal meat?
  • Are halal-certified products stored separately and labelled?
  • Who supplied the meat before it was repacked?
  • Does the halal certificate cover the repacking step?

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.
