Change rules so that religious slaughter is only for consumption by Jews/Muslims
Rejected

What the petition asks
DEFRA religious slaughter exemption states by Jews/Muslims intended for consumption by Jews/Muslims. This allowed overproduction and the introduction of religiously slaughtered meat into the non religious food chain. This is against the religious and other requirements of many and should be changed.
A large amount of supermarket and resturant meat is the product of religious slaughter without any notification or labelling.
