<p>There are no Regulations that require the labelling of non-stun slaughter meat,
but where any information of this nature is provided it must be accurate and must
not be misleading to the consumer. The Government respects religious freedoms and
expects the industry, whether food producer or food outlet, to provide consumers with
all the information they need to make informed choices.</p><p> </p><p>As recently
announced by the Secretary of State, we will soon be launching a consultation on clearer
food labelling. This will include proposals to improve and extend current mandatory
method of production labelling, including options for the production standards behind
them. Our proposed standards initially focus on the period of time the animal spends
on farm. We will seek views through consultation on these standards, including the
period of life which they should cover.</p>
