Halal meat preparation is becoming an issue in Germany.
Note that Shariah authorities are not even in agreement on the requirements. One thing that is merely brushed over in this article is the fact that one poultry producer in Germany has had its products “certified” as Halal for years, but they have sometimes been reluctant to label their products as Halal because they believe it would discourage non-Muslim customers.
