Question:
Someone told me that apparently Crescent products can’t be trusted as they do vertical slaughter even with cows.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
After correspondence with the HMS (Halal Monitoring Services), we have learned the following:
Crescent does not slaughter any beef. They only produce chicken.
Crescent sells beef from Australia/New Zealand which is monitored by local Ulama organizations affiliated with HMS.
None of these plants conducts vertical cut slaughter as HMS requires. Hence, HMS-affiliated Ulama consider it impermissible.
