#IS HALAL TRANSACTIONS OF OMAHA CHICKEN HANDSLAUGHTERED UPDATE#

Recommend to ask each respective restaurant if they order specifically halal meat from creekstone. This is different from what the creekstone rep stated via email which IРІР‚в„ўm sure some of you have seen which stated that ALL beef is slaughtered as halal but not all are labeled or given the halal certificate. They clearly stated that not ALL creekstone beef was slaughtered according to Islamic practice and only some based on orders they have. Sameer also took a tour inside and saw separate halal slaughter section and was told they only bring in the muslim РІР‚СљblessersРІР‚Сњ to do the islamic slaughter when they have halal orders to fill. This was based on a clubhouse discussion featuring Sameer Samsart (SameerРІР‚в„ўs Eats) and Shahed Amanullah () who both shared first hand accounts of talking to restaurant (steak house) owners who order from creekstone directly as well as butcher inside creekstone facility on east coast. Otherwise you would have to assume that not every creekstone is halal unfortunately The vendors/ restaurants have to specially ask for halal meat (which many do) for them to supply it to them. Recently it was brought to light by reliable sources (I previously mentioned in this group) that is not always the case and they have both halal and non-halal meat. Previously it was understood that all their meat is halal even if it labeled as such. Here are the two key WhatsApp messages that have caused the current controversy: Certification does not make it halal РІР‚вЂњ certification merely verifies that it is halal. Keep in mind that the definition of halal is the method of slaughter. For example, the beef used by Dog Haus comes in Creekstone boxes but these boxes are not explicitly marked as halal certified. The assumption of all beef being slaughtered in the same manner is why generally, Creekstone beef is considered to be halal regardless of whether the actual beef product has been certified halal. Only some of their beef product lines are marketed as halal, so Creekstone only pays for certification for those product lines.

However, it was known that Creekstone does not certify all of their beef product lines as Halal (via HTO). The basic assumption until now has been that ALL of creekstone beef is slaughtered in the same way, by a Muslim.

On several halal WhatsApp groups, including the WhatsApp group for Halal.ist (click this link to join), some discussion has arisen which casts some uncertainty on Creekstone. Scroll down below for original post from Jan 2020 Instead, premium Crescent FoodsР’В chicken products feature practices which expand standards to include: From the joint Press Release Many conventional Halal products permit mechanical slaughter of chickens the inclusion of animal by-products in feed antibiotic use and do not require animal welfare certification. The Crescent FoodsР’В brand means the products are produced in accordance with the highest Halal standards through practices and attributes that go above-and-beyond requirements for conventional Halal offerings. The product offerings include a boneless skinless chicken breast fillet, which is immediately available at east coast Costco WholesaleР’В stores and becoming available in Midwest CostcoР’В WholesaleР’В stores in October, as well as other fully cooked and par fried items. This is pretty amazing news no matter where you fall on the zabiha fiqh spectrum.Р”Р„tlanta, Georgia-based chicken producer Wayne Farms LLCР’В announced an expansion of Halal-compliant, frozen chicken product offerings for foodservice, deli, retail and club customers in conjunction with Crescent Foods, a known leader in the Halal market segment. For example, DaveРІР‚в„ўs Hot Chicken here in SoCal will soon be hand-slaughtered. The impact of this is that Halal restaurants that use Wayne Farms will soon have 100% hand-slaughtered halal chicken instead of mechanically-slaughtered halal chicken.

The original post was based off of their joint press release, which is quoted below, but may not be on their websites any longer.Р”В¬rescent Foods has entered into a partnership with Wayne Farms, to take over the slaughter process for chicken.

I have asked for clarification and will update the post accordingly. UPDATE (7/27/20): Crescent Foods has reached out to me to indicate that the information below is not accurate. Wayne Farms produces both types of halal chicken, and Crescent is the exclusive supplier for their hand-slaughter product. However, if the restaurant uses Crescent Foods, then that is hand-slaughtered. In other words, if a restaurant has Wayne Farms halal, then that isnРІР‚в„ўt a guarantee it is hand-slaughtered halal. Wayne Farms produces Mechanically Slaughtered halal products that are not associated with any Crescent Foods Hand Slaughtered branded products. UPDATE 2 (): Crescent Foods has provided the following clarification:Р”В¬rescent Foods is the exclusive supplier of hand-slaughtered products from Wayne.
