Kosher Meat Shortage In London
There’s some bad news for the Jewish citizens of the United Kingdom. According to YNetNews.com, “one of Britain’s largest beef manufacturers stops producing kosher meat due to pressure from McDonalds, which claims religious slathering method is cruel.”
However, this is great news for places like Menachem’s kosher butcher shop, located in Golders Green, which is apparently “virtually fighting off the customers” since the kosher meat shortage began. Golders Green has one of the largest Jewish populations in London.
Additionally, as far as the good news-bad news meter goes, this will have no effect on those individuals who get their kosher food online and have their kosher meat delivered. Now that’s something to keep in mind next time you’re going to head to the kosher butcher.
More from the article, which can be viewed by CLICING HERE:
For years the UK division of the popular fast food chain has maintained a policy which bans kosher or halal meat, claiming the religious slaughtering methods cause great suffering to animals.
However, two months ago it was revealed that in some of its UK branches McDonalds was serving meat that has been slaughtered according to the Muslim tradition. The chain explained it was a mistake and issued an order requiring its suppliers to provide its braches with meat that has not undergone any “kosher” method of slaughtering.
