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 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.

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

Are all added ingredients halal, including casings and flavourings?
Is the meat halal certified, and does the certificate cover this product?
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.
