[QUOTE="Texel Tup, post: 2480598, member: 49448"] But is it? If you're right, then presumably Waitrose have managed to alienate the bulk of the devout Jewish and Muslim population, a fact which would surprise me. Few of the two faiths mentioned would bother to shop at Waitrose for their groceries and then shop elsewhere for their meat supplies. If you are right, then Waitrose have taken a very brave stance, and in the cutthroat (yes, intended!) world of supermarket competition, perhaps a decision which they regret. Edit; A bit of research reveals that Fortnum and Mason stand alone in refusing to sell meat products which have not been stunned prior to death. Waitrose, indeed ALL Supermarkets sell unlabelled Halal and Kosher meats. It seems sense to most that meat which has not been stunned should be clearly labelled. Why is it difficult? Perhaps the answer is that if the Supermarkets were to label their meat then the more wary would refuse to buy those products which they see as having reached an unethical end, and so the product would sit about waiting for the devout purchaser.
