For several times already I have noticed the lamb meat for sale at your Elk Grove Store, is labelled 'halal' compliant. This means that the product has been prepared according to Muslim Sharia Law.

I don't have a problem with Muslim customers wanting to buy product processed according to their peculiar beliefs. However, I object to not having, as a non-Muslim, the option to buy 'non-halal' Lamb meat. Please address the issue for me and every non-Muslim customer who would like to have the alternative to purchase non-halal meat. I don't want to be coerced into buying any product processed according to sharia law.

Before I go to social media and begin to disseminate this issue for everyone to be aware of what is happening, surreptitiously in our grocery stores, please address this matter with fairness to the non-Muslims customers.

I don't want to be made feel like Sharia Law, in meat products, in particular, is being imposed on non-Muslims through the ignorance, negligence or carelessness of grocery retail chains like yours. Thank you.

Comments from Jalil is incorrect and foolish! It can be said this is to give "halal" a bad name. It is very easy to educate yourself why harm others if you chose to be ____________ (fill in the blank).

Greetings, is the lamb labeled from "New Zealand" halal?This is a great news if this can be confirmed!Our Granada Hills, (91344) Sprouts is wonderful and if a statement confirming the lamb is "Halal" makes this an historic first if one or any of the local markets offers lamb labeled "Halal."Thanks "Sprouts"Potentially happier customer

Halal meat animals are killed slowly and painfully while the priest recites a prayer. I grew up watching this procedure, called jabba.

They take a knife and slowly drain the blood from a animal's neck. You have to see it to believe it.

Its a horror show. Halal is cruelty to animal, look it up.

Lmbo. Jalil, bro.

You are extremely misinformed. The kill is quick.

The animal is raised healthily. Absolutely no priest involved.

Guest

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Halal simply means it was humanely killed and hygienic, etc.

It's just a guarantee, it's not like they do some special voodoo to it. In fact in order for it to be NOT halal, they'd have to strangle the lamb to death or something. In other words it IS halal, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T SAY SO.I mean, I'm sorry, but you are just next level ignorant/dumb.

And BTW I am definitely NOT Muslim, I'm just not a stupid idiot like you. It's called college, you need some.

OMG-you are wrong!! JALIL is absolutely correct in the process!! Also if you buy HALAL you are supporting ISLAM by the tax they get that you pay!!

What on Earth are you talking about, that you are supporting Islam because they get the tax you pay on meat??? Whether it's Halal meat or not the taxes you pay go to the same place.

Islam doesn't get a tax kickback because you bought halal meat.

It's a method of preparation, period. It doesn't mean the meat is being sold by a Muslim vendor.

Guest

So, you DONT want lamb that was prepared in the most clean and humane environment possible, with strict laws that prohibit causing the animal pain or feeding it unhealthy food during its lifetime? You'd prefer an animal to go through a painful death rather than a quick instant kill?

Which part of Halal are you offended by? Did you bother to read up on it first?

Guest

The ignorance of the stores?? You should worry about your own ignorance. Wow.

Guest

Are you serious?

Guest

Hate to break it to all of you.. about 98% of lamb in the world is halal.

Muslims are the #1 consumers. So unless all you racist Americans start living off lamb instead of McDonald's it's gonna have that halal sign. The way they slaughter is better..very clean meat.

They drain the blood completely.

This is true. Walk into Outback Steakhouse.

Look at the menu. The New zealand lamb is about $21 bucks for the plate and it tastes great.

It most definitely is halal. Has been forever.

Guest

I also want to know where I can find non-halal lamb. It looks like Sharia law has taken over all the lamb production of the world.

Guest

Takes a sick, cold-hearted person to eat a baby lamb!

Guest

That's like asking companies to make "non-Kosher certified" products because you're not Jewish. It's obviously not intended for your personal knowledge.

Guest

It'seems just normal lamb meat that is processed in a way that Muslim's as well as non-muslims can eat it. As Muslims do not eat pork their diet would tend to incorporate a higher percentage of lamb than most non-muslims so stores would tend to stock halal meat to cater to a clientele hat purchasession lamb meat
