A Historic Milestone for Halal Assurance: HMC Ireland Delivers First 100% Non-Stunned Halal Chicken to Costless Halal Shop.

22nd of May 2025 marks a significant and proud moment in the history of halal food integrity in Ireland. HMC Ireland (Halal Monitoring Committee Ireland) has officially delivered its first-ever shipment of 100% non-stunned halal chicken to Costless Halal Shop in Tallaght, Dublin—a moment that is being celebrated by communities across the country. This landmark delivery is more than just a transaction—it represents a renewed commitment to upholding the highest standards of halal, as defined by traditional Islamic principles. Non-stunned halal slaughter ensures the animal is healthy, alive, and fully conscious at the time of slaughter, adhering strictly to the method practiced and preserved for generations. For years, Irish Muslim consumers have voiced concerns about transparency and the authenticity of halal chicken. Many have struggled to identify and access chicken that aligns with their beliefs. With this delivery, HMC Ireland has turned those concerns into action, ensuring that halal consumers can now shop with clarity, confidence, and full religious assurance. Costless Halal Shop, a trusted name in Tallaght, now becomes the first retail location in Ireland to receive and offer HMC-certified, non-stunned halal chicken—an achievement that will undoubtedly resonate across halal markets, restaurants, and homes throughout the country.
