There is a monitoring committee for the certification of the food and the life of Muslims.

HMC would like to clarify it's position with regards to passing comment on butchers, fast food outlets, restaurants, slaughterhouses, etc.If it is not certified by ourselves and we do not have an inspector watching them, then we cannot give our assurance.

There are e-mails circulating in the electronic media that claim certain comments were made about the abattoirs.The Head Office never received the original e-mail and was never given the chance to reply officially.

HMC has strict criteria and part of that criteria is that no stunning of the animal before the slaughter takes place, a fact freely admitted by Nandos themselves.

The Issue of Stunning can be found on this website.You can listen to Dr Abdul Majid Khatme's audio or read his articles which can be found on the web.

The Prophet Muhammad'ssaw method of Zabihah was analysed in an article by Dr Abdul Majid Katme.
