EU court: Halal meat cannot get organic label
By EUobserver
The European Court of Justice on Tuesday ruled that the organic production logo of the EU cannot be placed on meat derived from animals that have been slaughtered in accordance with religious rites without first being stunned. The case initially stems from France where farm animal rights group, the Oeuvre d'Assistance aux Betes d'Abattoirs (OAB), argued against labelling Halal meat products as organic.
