Hallaal meats.... kosher..... what's the difference?

Question

what meats are truely best for you.... not necessarily religously speaking....

I heard that even per the government regulations... there is a difference in quality requirements.... is that true????

Answer 1

Also as stated the meats are processed by the religous people the shule or mula, and they are in Kosher law salted to draw out the blod for the flesh, but where the Halal meat is from the whole animal, kosher allows only the meat from in front of the 4 rib only cows or beef to be used and with other animals only certain parts to, poultry is not the same it can be the whole bird for both styles.

Where the Islamic laws allow the use of the organ in Kosher law it is only certain ones, liver, lungs none that had anything to with blood processing, with Halal it is open. Kosher laws does not allow the consumption of seafood either.

I work in Kosher kitchens in Canadain hotels and had to learn this well as I not of either Jew or Muslim decent.

Answer 2

Both are done under the guidance of the religious affiliation, both require the animal does not suffer, both slit the throat of the animal and allow the blood to drain naturally, that is were they end along with ritual blessings by religious authorities, Halal prepared meat uses the whole animal, poultry and fish and seafood, Kosher prepared meat have a few restrictions, only up to the 4th rib in beef, they use the whole animal with lamb , in the Middle East camels to, poultry also, fish must have scales so not shark, catfish or eels, the meat is salted to remove all bodily fluids, Halal meat is not salted, use the entire beast, all fish, seafood, just no pork products. Here in Canada if it a Halal meat product it is labeled, in the UK it is different, my 2 chef friends who run places in London and Liverpool use some Halal processed meats in there restaurants, it is clearly marked, the meat I have seen in the shops on my 12-15 visits over the last 20 yrs is marked, there is no reason to mark it "Religiously Slaughtered" as there is not difference with the other meats chemically or molecularity.

Answer 3

Halal meat is permitted 'halal means permitted in Arabic' for Muslims to consume. First the eyes and ears are checked, then animal is faced at Mecca and its throat is cut, while an Islamic phrase is uttered over the animal.

Kosher meat is permitted for Jews. The animal is checked to see that it can walk four paces, then the throat is slit painlessly with a very sharp knife. The insides are checked for signs of disease, mainly Tuberculosis in the lungs, and if the animal is disease-free it can then be 'soaked and salted' to draw out the last traces of blood (we Jews are forbidden to eat blood). Every 24 hours the carcass has to be 'soaked and salted', the salt is known as 'kosher' salt, being of a size that it will absorb the blood without sticking to the carcass.

All animals except the pig are eligible to be 'halal'. Only certain animals such as the cow, sheep, goat, giraffe are eligible to be kosher. Note that some birds (e.g. chicken, turkey, duck, pigeon, goose) can also be made 'kosher' through a similar process as for animals.

Answer 4

halal meat is slaughtered by cutting the jugular vein with a sharp blade. The animal must be killed out of sight of any other animals to not show suffering. All the blood in halal meat is drained, no blood clots!

Answer 5

halal or kosher,one is from the Arabic word means: allowed,or lawfully allowed,another as we know is Jewish and got be Hebrew,,WELL as you can see,maybe the Muslims has copied the Jewish style of slaughter,the animals for food,and...no necessary any difference,between the two,apart from the way how they say their prayers,while slaughtering the animals..Muslims like the Jewish,avoid consume swines as well...the best meat? not sure..however,the worst,got be the red varieties ones,,as humans isn't designed to digest dead animal flesh well,

Answer 6

One is Muslim, the other is Jewish. It has only to do with the way the animal is slaughtered and the meat prepared. Neither is more or less healthy than the other.

Answer 7

as muslims we should according to our religion to eat hallal meat when they slaughter for instance sheep or cow they mention Allah name, and the animal slaughterd from the neck, the other way is jewish, so here we do not talk about which is best, here we follow our relegion

Answer 8

i think it is the way the animal is slaughtered, there is some sort of ritual i think but to be honest im not sure

Answer 9

Just their religious beliefs and the way they slaughter the animal!
