Is meat from UK 9139 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 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

  • 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?
  • 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.
