Red Tractor

Thank you @JeremyClarkson for continuing to highlight just how important robust standards are on farms. Even if we occasionally sound like a mum keeping an eye on things, it’s only because we’re committed to championing the best of British farming. bit.ly/47NkMvn

@RupertLowe10 Halal certification is at the customers discretion however Red Tractor standards state that all animals must be effectively stunned before slaughter, no exceptions. This is a legal and welfare requirement under WATOK and part of Red Tractor standards. bit.ly/45N1xRB

Labelling halal meat - this is an objective I believe we can achieve. Our new polling shows that an enormous 66% of the British public agree with mandatory labelling by slaughter method. Just 8% disagree, largely Muslims. I suspect. Now. If I were in charge, I'd ban halal/kosher slaughter in a heartbeat. But for now, we have to work on realistic goals and a full ban simply isn't going to happen whilst Labour are in charge, and Farage has said he wouldn't ban it either. Labelling, however, can. Following pressure, the Government are looking at this. I believe it is possible. And considering how much the British people despise halal slaughter, proper labelling would bankrupt the industry and act as a ban. Mandatory labelling is the way forward. This is a campaign we can win. Let's crack on.

@blaiklockBP ❌Our requirements are clear and uncompromising. All livestock intended for Red Tractor labelled meat products, including those that are religiously slaughtered, must be effectively stunned before slaughter. This applies to every animal, without exception. redtractor.org.uk/news/red-tract…

Red Tractor puts its logo on religiously slaughtered meat. @RedTractorFood has said in writing ( we have the email ) that all animals were unconscious when killed for the meat to get its endorsement. But the slaughter house codes on the packets with the Red Tractor logo say the animals were conscious - as is required by religious slaughter .
