Considering this is an agricultural state I find the halal slaughter methods cruel and completely unnecessary. I hope HEB gets some serious pushback but all this does is highlight there is a demographic shift happening up in Collin county.

More people need to understand what this is. It should not appear in a corporate grocery store.

Nick Shirley needs to go to DFW and work on this H1B and Muslim fraud.

It is every American's patriotic duty to toss all the bacon you can carry onto this section if you encounter it.

I don’t get enough credit for the things I manage not to say.

I have seen Halal meat at other HEB stores, specifically in Katy.

I've said this before, but the HEB near the Medical Center in San Antonio is a Third World zone. Hijabs and burkas every time I go in.

The one over on I10 and Wurzbach s even worse.

According to the Google, the grocery stores (Walmart, Tom Thumb, and Kroger) in Collin County all carry halal meat. Walmart is said to carry halal meat in 60 stores in Texas.

Looks like this halal thing has been around a while and the major stores have no problem selling it.

HEB will sell foods based on the clientele in the area. Not really anything new.

That said, halal meat should not be legal given how they basically torture the animal to kill it.

Where is PETA when it comes to that?

Where do you think? They are silent because they are nothing but leftist hacks.

Yeah Halal meat has been in the Houston stores forever. From what I understand H-E-B store managers are given considerable flexibility in what they choose to stock for their store. They predictably stock it with what sells in their community. You'll find a wide selection of kosher items at the Meyerland H-E-B for example.

Between this that's and the Kroger thread... The Brookshore Bros on Madisonville is going to be PACKED!!!
Is there a grocery option closer to spring? Say Huntsville maybe?

The butchering process for halal is dependent on the butcher. A well trained butcher is quick and painless for the cattle, an inexperienced or lazy butcher can make a mess of things.

Where is PITA? Halal meat production is something I am sure they would be against.

I think both methods of slaughter are not necessary.

What part is cruel? A single cut with a very sharp knife that cuts the major vessels and trachea is a pretty dang quick death.

Before telling others to "understand what this is," it's worth checking the facts yourself.

Commercial halal certification in the U.S. almost certainly including HEB's supplier typically requires or permits pre-slaughter stunning. The animal is rendered unconscious before the cut. The science on non-stunned halal is also genuinely contested: some EEG studies show faster loss of consciousness than in conventionally stunned animals. It's not settled, specially not the clean-cut cruelty case you're presenting.

"Unnecessary" probably just means unnecessary for you. For Muslim consumers, it's a dietary requirement same logic as kosher, which has been on grocery shelves for decades without this reaction.

During which the animal is conscious and aware of its demise. Versus the bolt gun that ends the animal's life instantly.

There's a reason that area is called Wurzbachistan.

Wait until you hear about kosher slaughter protocols. I don't hear anyone wanting to ban that.

Alon Market in SA is also big in Kosher.

You can tell the demographic of a typical HEB by the Bud or Modelo index, representing the percentage of the beer cooler dedicated to one of those. The Stone Oak store is a 20. San Pedro and Oblate is like 85.

Just grab 2 packs of bacon and throw one on the halal meat and one on the kosher meat.

Look up Kosher slaughter. One of my former clients, an "organic" beef producer, talked about his slaughter house of choice (they have to be organic approved) where the owner said he would have a Rabi and an Imon (sp?) bull****ting while they slit throats.

People should have to watch a video showing how you need to kill a cow to qualify as halal! Most have no idea!

Most have very little clue in general in any method. Including most of this thread. As someone in the industry, most plants try to accomplish as many certifications as possible to not limit their ability to sell.

Same for most distributor and retailers. It isn't catering to someone specific, just trying to ensure you aren't eliminating customers.

Most of the posts on this board is people going out of their way to find an angle to be outraged so they can condemn others that are also outraged.

You talking about the Babcock location? I live near the Wurzbach HEB and am more than happy to drive further.

I know almost nothing about halal meats other than that they do no't include pork. Can you inform me how they are very cruel?

Please don't interpret this as some kind of defense of them. In fact, I would love to see them go back home.
