What HMC certification means
A UK registered charity (no. 1147462) that certifies and monitors Halal meat and poultry from the abattoir to the shop, and certifies some non-meat products.
HMC does not accept stunned meat or poultry. Its criteria require hand slaughter by a practising Muslim slaughterman with the Tasmiyah said on each animal, and a check that three of the four main vessels are cut. A certified outlet displays a yearly HMC certificate, which lists the items it covers.
How to check before you order
- Look for HMC's yellow sticker at the outlet.
- Read the yearly certificate on display: it lists the items certified, and items not on it are not covered.
- Check that the outlet appears on HMC's website.
- On packaged chicken, look for HMC's coloured, serialised label; HMC red meat is stamped.
HMC says it does not comment on products it has not certified: not being HMC certified is not a ruling that a product is Haram.
