What is healthy meat?

The trend for healthy living has brought about a change in lifestyles, with people demanding more natural and organic ingredients. The awareness of the nutritional benefits of meat and poultry is now common knowledge. The elimination of blood toxicity is done best using the Zabiha Halal method – a practice of slaughtering animals for meat.

The first recorded ritual slaughter was mentioned in Judaism’s oral Torah. The act was performed by severing the trachea, carotid arteries, jugular veins, and esophagus using an extremely sharp knife, allowing the blood to drain out. The scientific basis behind this slaughter has come to light only recently, and more and more abattoirs worldwide are adopting this method to acquire healthy meat.

WHAT IS ZABIHA HALAL AND IS IT HUMANE*?

Halal is an Arabic term meaning “permissible” – Zabiha is the method according to which animals are slaughtered to make their meat permissible to eat. It has been proven by experiments* conducted by impartial parties under strict laboratory conditions that this method is humane.

Between 1974 and 1978, Prof. Wilhelm Schulze conducted an experiment at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Hanover University, Germany, in which two sets of animals were slaughtered, one using the Zabiha method and the other by first stunning the animal. Electroencephalographs (EEG) and electrocardiograms (ECG) recorded the condition of the brains and the hearts of all the animals during the course of slaughter.

History

A Banem Food initiative, Banem Food Pakistan is a franchise operation. We recognized that Pakistan has a great demand for wholesome meat that is fresh, hygienic, halal, and nutritious. We import world-class, quality beef, mutton, and chicken prepared and processed by the Zabiha halal method. This method not only ensures meat safety but also guarantees much more nutritious meat compared to meat prepared by any other process, a fact that we discovered after several laboratory tests with various brands.
