International Deli: Halal Meat
In addition to being the marketplace where you can find international food and drink brands, the Redlands Ranch Market is also proud to carry halal meat. Halal is an Arabic word that means “permissible.” In order to be considered as permissible, the meat must come from an animal slaughtered according to Islamic law.
Currently, there is no requirement for halal or kosher meat to be specifically labeled. However, if you’re interested in our halal meat selections and aren’t sure about what is considered halal or not, simply ask one of our butchers in the meat department and they’ll be happy to help!
The reason the Redlands Ranch Market is selling halal meat is because we truly do appreciate all cultures and want to respect and accommodate various diets that surface the world. Like all other international products available in our marketplace, the Ranch team wants to ensure halal products are available and suitable for those who eat halal meat.
