Halal:

Halal , in Islam, any act or object sanctioned by Islamic law. Although the term may be broadly applied to virtually any activity or object, it is used especially to refer to dietary restrictions. The opposite of halal is haram, which refers to any act or object expressly proscribed in the Qurʾān Halal means "permissible" in Arabic and refers to food and practices allowed under Islamic law. It includes strict dietary laws that prohibit items like pork and alcohol, ensuring ethical treatment of animals. Halal guidelines also extend to financial transactions and social conduct, promoting a holistic approach to ethical living. With over 2 billion Muslims worldwide relying on halal options for cultural and ethical reasons, compliance ensures trust and safety in food production ... There are calls to better label halal food in the UK, but how does it differ from other meat and why is it controversial? Halal (also spelled halaal) is an Arabic word that means “lawful or permitted.” It is a term that is used in the Islamic dietary guidelines.
