We think it should be required that the labelling of non-stunned and stunned meat be clearly labelled throughout the food chain. This includes shops, supermarkets, suppliers, fast food and restaurants

This would include labels on every product available to consumers We think UK government should implement mandatory method of slaughter labelling for all meat products Stunned or Non-Stunned. For all industries linked to food, including but not limited to shops, supermarkets, schools, restaurants, fast food, cafes and suppliers We think this promotes consumer choice, enhances transparency, especially for religion and ethics We think no one should be forced to consume food which doesn't meet their ethical and religious choices, they should have the right to choose without prejudice

Government response

Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.
