Chicken killed by electric current may have reached Muslim eateries
SHAH ALAM: Chicken suspected of having been killed by electric current before slaughter at a processing plant raided in Puchong yesterday may have been supplied to Muslim-owned restaurants.
A recent raid at a processing plant in Puchong has raised concerns over the potential supply of non-halal chicken to Muslim-owned restaurants. According to Selangor Islamic Religious Council chairman Datuk Salehuddin Saidin, the plant used the water-bath stunning method with excessively high electric voltage, which led to the chickens dying before slaughter.
The council is worried that the chicken supply may have reached Muslim-owned restaurants, and urged Muslims and restaurant operators to check the source of their chicken supplies to ensure they are halal. More than 6.5 tonnes of raw chicken suspected of being processed without complying with Islamic slaughtering and halal certification requirements were seized, and twelve Bangladeshi and Pakistani men were detained.
